      A Solid Episode with Some very Dark Humour,
      Whiskey Business is a very well written Simpsons episode with loads of very funny scenes. It may not be the highlight of the twenty fourth season, but it is still enjoyable, taking us on a surprisingly dark journey as we follow Homer, Marge, Lenny and Carl trying to cheer up Moe after a suicide attempt, the episode as a hole isn't very dark but the set up and several jokes certainly are, I liked this, the show dosen't do it too often but whenever they do its refreshing to watch. I didn't really like the Bleeding Gums Murphy segment, it was a very brief part, lasting literally only two scenes, and when there is already one side story this one just felt unnecessary. I enjoyed the side story as it brought a lot of light to this episode, I love seeing Bart and Grandpa bonding, it dosen't occur often but when it does it's very sweet. Brings in many laughs with some dark humour while still keeping a natural Simpsons feel, Whiskey Business is a very enjoyable Simpsons episode.

      After receiving a new suit and being discovered by some important people, Moe is given the opportunity to make some big money.
