Airing tonight in North America is ‘A Midsummer Nice Dream’.
The town is abuzz when Cheech and Chong announce a Springfield stop on their much-anticipated reunion tour. But when Cheech and Chong take the stage in front of their loyal fans, the jokes were just not the same for Chong, so Homer steps in and delivers all the punchlines by heart. Impressed, Cheech invites Homer to go on tour with him as new duo “Cheech and Chunk” while Chong forms a more progressive comedic team, “Teach and Chong,” with Principal Skinner. While Homer is on tour, Marge attempts to help the neighborhood cat lady and change her hoarder ways, but turns into a hoarder herself in the process, and Homer realizes that life on the road is not all high times and slapstick humor.
Good but not the Greatest.
Definitely one of the season’s best! Great jokes, good story, and almost fully cliche-free
Amazing episode! Only ruined by Bart as Puck… and the title.

I thought it was a really good episode I even liked the crazy cat lady sub plot.
Got a problem with Shakespeare, C@A???
Nope, just a problem with unnecessary Shakespeare references.
It was okay. I didn’t like the one line “I would do her” in reference to Marge. Leave that stuff to Family Guy, young people still watch the Simpsons and don’t need to hear crude lines like that from the classy Simpsons.
If I was in charge of the show I would go back to their roots. The classic episodes are the ones that took time to develop, that didn’t even really try to be funny but focused on telling a simple story. Don’t even try to be topical, go back to the corny, sweet family/school type plots that made us fall in love with the characters. But above all, just slow the pace way down. For example, they need to have scenes where the characters remain in the same setting for more than just a minute and build on the dialogue instead of the rapid fire, scene changing, jokes a minute approach. Thats for Family guy and the generation of short attention span kids. Not for our Simpsons!!
No, everything about this episode was good, including the Shakespeare reference. I love how the Simpsons can use various forms of culture to show educated minds behind the show.
You could tell as soon as they started with Kent and the joke about the Queen, that this episode was going to be good.
Neal – I agree this episode was great and one thing that separates the writers on the two Groening shows The Simpson’s and Futurama are the writers, they are all really smart in Math,Physics,English,History and literature. That is what makes there pop culture jokes funnier then the rest they don’t just tell a joke they research the joke then tell it, I think that’s why some people don’t get the jokes there IQ Is not high enough to understand or comprehend the jokes. But hay that’s ok for those less intellectual people there are a ton of Seth MacFarlane shows and bobs burgers to keep you occupied….
what I meant to say to be clear, Is what separates Groening’s Futurama and The Simpson’s from every body else’s TV show’s is the writing staff….
