Frinkenstein's Monster is a good episode. I have watched 1 bad, 1 okay, 1 good, and 8 really good episodes. This episode was one of the really good episodes. Even though this is a really good episode, it has a few flaws. For one, how does this episode have nothing even related to Halloween? This episode title is a play on words to the famous Frankenstein's Monster movie!! And it has Professor Frink in it!! And guess what? On the Simpsons Fandom Wiki, this is considered a non canon episode!! They literally could've made Frink turn Homer into " Homerstein "!! Also the Simpsons have been on hiatus for so long. This is their first episode in 2024, and 2024 has almost been going on for 3 months!! Why do they have so many hiatuses? Oh right, because the season is supposed to end at a certain time. They could have just split this hiatus into a few 2 week hiatuses. This episode could have been airing at Jan 14, while the next episode Lisa gets an F1 could have been airing at Jan 28. The episode could've also had Frink's dad in it. In Treehouse of Horror 14, one of the segments called Frinkenstein showed a parody of Frankenstein with Frink's dad acting as Frankenstein. I never expected this to happen, but maybe Frinkenstein could've showed up again in this long running series. Maybe just maybe. Even though this episode was actually a really good episode, I am reducing points for this episode because of the long hiatus and the title. Now let's look at the positives. I loved how this episode featured Frink as one of the main characters. The show never really spotlighted on Frink and he never really got his episode. Otto, Sarah Wiggum, Comic Book Guy,Nelson, and even Branden have all gotten at least one episode. But for characters like Hans Moleman, Bumblebee Man, Disco Stu, The Sea Captain, and Professor Frink have never gotten there own episode. Until now. Well, at least for Frink. Out of the characters I listed that didn't get there own episode, all of those characters feel like they were only there for a gag and nothing more. I feel like Frink is different. Frink is one of the better secondary characters and for me he is probably one of the best. He just feels very alive and he feels like he's there not for a gag, but to be a character. Seeing as he hasn't gotten his own episode before this is weird, but I like that now he has his own episode. Another thing I liked is how this episode mocks the series as a whole. It really pokes fun of how many jobs Homer has had and how many he will have. This episode is a really funny episode and I love how the Simpsons are now even poking fun at themselves. It's pretty bold but man is it funny. Besides that this episode has a lot of cool jokes. The plot may be a bit repetitive, but that's what it was aiming for to make the whole environment funnier. Thank goodness the Simpsons doesn't have any other hiatus and that Lisa gets an F1 is in a week. Thank goodness. I'm excited to see that episode and my review for it will be here in a week. In all, I give this episode a 7.3 out of 10.
