Meh. The past few episodes have breathed new life into The Simpsons, but this one was back to the low standard we've come to expect. Just another wacky situation and a bunch of lazy stereotypes and sight gags. Although it did have a few good gags here and there. I broke up (pun intended) at "Blarney Rubble."
And speaking of lazy stereotypes, since when was Chief Wiggum Irish? His voice is based on Edward G. Robinson, who was a Romanian Jew. There's never been any hint that Wiggum had an Irish background, except maybe for his first name. But this whole episode is made of stereotypes, and so they had to throw in the Irish cop stereotype even though it made no sense.
