    Top Notch Humor, Not Top Notch Plot
    The Burns and the Bees is an amazing episode. Even though this episode has nothing to do with Christmas at all, I guess this is a Christmas episode. Well then, I have watched all of the Simpsons Christmas episodes, and there is 3 bad, 3 okay, 3 good, and 11 really good episodes. This episode falls in the good category. This episode is just soo funny. It has some really funny jokes about Billionaires. The episode just didn't have a great plot though. Only the great humor stood out and not the plot itself. If you watch this episode for great plot and heart, you will be disappointed, but if you watch this episode for great humor you would love it. In all, I give this episode a 7.4 out of 10.
