The Simpson Season 23: The Daughter Also Rises





Lisa Simpson with Nick at the restaurant

Before we get started, I would like to say that first episode of animated sitcom The Simpsons were aired on December 17, 1989. Since then according to Wikipedia, Fox broadcasted 515 episodes. There are no doubts that it was a huge success for the creator - Matt Groening.  

The best thing about this show that it keeps been funny. Where do their ideas come from? Maybe they hired talented script writers or maybe fans send them some interesting thoughts… Who knows? The point is, that no matter how do they do it, as far as this show entertaining the audience – it’s a good thing. But those jokes about Christianity they are not appropriate from the moral point of view.  Even more - screenwriter went too far… but not as far as Family Guy writers who recently make unacceptable parodies.

As it was mentioned The Simpsons are very funny sitcom. In this post we are going to talk about an episode named The Daughter Also Rises, which you can find in Season 23. According to recent sites, it released at February 12, 2012 and then become available on Internet... My opinion is very positive. I love this episode which is full of additional jokes, which make it really enjoyable.

The main story is about well-known family. They were about to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day and… hold on a second! An episode begins with St. Valentine’s atmosphere. Bart and Milkhouse are checking out their greeting cards and sure thing, that Bart got many of them while Milkhouse just two- one from Lisa Simpson (Bart’s sister) and other… it was just a bill, but Milkhouse pretended that was a greeting card from doctor… Few seconds later they decided to watch TV…

In this point Fox showed to viewers a parody of the popular TV series on Discovery Channel called Mythbusters. Just to make it funny, scriptwriters mixed some experiments that Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage   made back of the days on Discovery in funny way. They actually guest starred in this episode.

Mythcrackers on Simpson’s TV were checking “classic” myth that cat always land on his feet… To make long story short – they didn’t check it, because they have made a robotic cat with ballistic gel on it to simulate a real cat… and then shot that thing and blew up the Pumpjack and made gas prices higher…  

Anyway, inspired by this show, Bart and Milkhouse decided to become Mythcrackers.  Camera show us Simpson’s dining room, where Homer were preparing to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day.  He even made a bow on chocolate box… because according to social stereotypes in that day men suppose to do everything possible to make women happy. Therefore Homer is really nervous…but his wife Marge decided that celebration supposes to be natural, so his husband is allowed to do whatever he wants.

Homer and Bart went to have fun, while Marge and Lisa found themselves in a restaurant. Romantic atmosphere was everywhere… Lisa met Nick though wall crack… This  guy loves literature and has an excellent language skills as he read many books. The story shows us, that he looks like a gentleman and beehives like that but… Lisa has felt in love with him… Then she went to a grandpa, who told her a romantic story about yang lovers. After that she asked her grandfather to help her with romantic trip, to find a tree that will make their love timeless.  Three was in the middle of the lake… So they go there and...

In the end of the story viewer will find out that that guy that Lisa has felt in love, his is a poser and they are not ready for a serious relationship... Whole episode is full of funny situation and jokes that can make laugh out loud.  I definitelly would recomment it!
