All Singing, All Dancing

First off, I am a huge Simpsons fan and I have been collecting all of the seasons on DVD as they've been released.

But after 4 minutes into the episode "All singing, All dancing" I immediately fast-forwarded through the entire episode only to find that it was yet another clip show containing archive footage of past episodes where people sang a song and danced.

That is why I didn't even bother watching this episode on DVD. Because I've already seen all the episodes with songs and dances throughout the entire series to date, and I don't really care about seeing them again in season 9. If I wanted to see them again I would pull out the older seasons and watch them!!!

This is why they should NOT do clip shows. They're a complete waste of time and a slap in the face to all the fans who have already seen this crap before. Seriously, its really cheap that the writers use old footage and a mediocre plot to pass off a worthless 24 minutes of what they consider an episode.

And whats even worse is this isn't the first time its been done... Remember Season 4 episode 18: "So It's come to this: A Simpsons clip show" which was actually an okay episode because it had a good plot. But remember Season 6 episode 3: "Another Simpsons Clip Show"? Yeah same crap.

If I were Matt Groening I would of had this episode scrapped before it could even air. I hope they don't create anymore clip show episodes in the future seasons.

Well this was not only the worst Simpsons Clip show it was the worst Simpson episode too! I'm a big Simpsons fan so and I find the creativity and the sarcastic humor superb. So 'I have to say that there shouldn't be any clip shows! Clip shows are just old scenes mixed with a mediocre plot. When I watch the Simpsons I want to see new jokes and satirical references. All singing, All Dancing was even worse than normal clip shows. It's okay to hear one Simpsons song in an episode...... but a 25 minutes of singing? Well, every brilliant TV show has it's bad times too! In this case it was "All singing, All dancing"

3 of 10 Stars!

Oh my god All Singing, All Dancing has got to be one of the worst Simpsons episode from 1998 along with Homer Simpson In Kidney Trouble this episode starts with the Simpsons family celebrating their episode, it's just a random cliché when they use old songs and no new songs like in a movie does, even when Snake Jailbird enters The Simpsons house he says that he hates Singing making him a complete killjoy and a party pooper good thing he got executed in the Treehouse Of Horror Ix during the segment Hell Toupee and Homer strangles Bart again like mostly in the episodes does when in reality this is just plain terrible.

I'm a big fan of The Simpsons but this is pathetic. The whole episode is a bunch of random music numbers. Also, it's rated TV-G which is a rare occurrence for the show. The words to these songs were so predictable and cheesy beyond belief.

The only funny part was when they sang "In A Gadda Da Vida" in the church, I thought that was clever. It keeps transitioning from one scene to another out of nowhere and the songs are just terrible.

Seriously, this is The Simpsons and they deserve better than this. How can you screw up a Simpsons episode this bad? They weren't even trying. It's truly unbelievable. What a disappointment!

Okay it's a clip show but 5/10 seems harsh. I'll bump that up a couple notches just for the hilarious notion of Bart and Homer accidentally watching Paint Your Wagon thinking they're renting a violent action-packed Western and instead being introduced to the inimitable vocal stylings of Lee Marvin.

The songs selected are some of the best in the Simpson's run although I would have included Planet of the Apes: The Musical. How could they have left that out?
