The Simpsons (TV Series) Much Apu About Something (2016) User Reviews

Kind of enjoyable but not really

[celiawatsonanime · 6/10 · 18 January 2022]

Apu's nephew is a jerk despite Apu gambling away all of his stake in the Kwik e mart.

Something about the story just feels weak to me.

The part at the end where after his store was destroyed and he wins the 1 million dollar scratch off and uses that money to rebuild the Kwik e mart just feels bad. Maybe the townspeople should've helped rebuild instead.

Enjoyable, Albeit a Run of the Mill Apu episode,

[lesleyharris30 · 8/10 · 31 March 2016]

Much Apu About Something is a good Simpsons episode with a reasonably well written storyline and some funny scenes. It's certainly enjoyable, I liked seeing the Kwik-E-Mart get transformed by Apu's nephew Jay, the dialogue between the two of them is certainly the highlight of the episode, particularly the scene where he insults Apu for being a stereotype. The story could have been more interesting, the relationship between Apu and his nephew should have been developed more in order to make the conflict extreme, making it more exciting for the audience, instead of just floating along with no real surprises for twenty minutes. As for the side story, it had way more potential than it delivered, Bart giving up pranking is a big deal that the writers should have taken more seriously, but instead its just used a few times as filler, with nothing ever really happening other than reminding us that he is no longer pulling tricks on people. It has flaws and I expected better from an Apu episode, but Much Apu About Something is still an enjoyable Simpsons.

Conflict arises between Apu and his nephew Jay after he transforms the Kwik-E-Mart in to a more up to date store.

Little Jamshed Is Back!

If you remember Jamshed protecting the Kwik-E-Mart in "Hoemr The Heretic" and his line "I Have Waited For This Day" with a shotgun? Well he returns as a teenager in this great episode!

I like the return of Sanjay too, hope he appears in future Season 27 & 28 episodes. The Quick And Fresh store reminds me of Whole Foods, which i wanted more story of that, but, it's The Simpsons! And like all episodes, everything goes back to normal after the Prank! Compared to older Simpsons episodes i'd give it a 9, because Seasons 14-17 wern't as good as the first 13, and as good as 18-23, 24-27 have been a little better, but not as good as the first 13 and the shorts!

9/10 - ********* - because lack of more storyline about the store, and more of the past, which is a little unneeded.
