      Very Unusual Episode but Still Enjoyable,

      What to Expect When Bart's Expecting is a good Simpsons episode with a decent storyline and loads of really funny scenes.It is probably the weirdest Simpsons episode to date,but I don't think it deserves the harsh rating it has on this,the minute I read the storyline for this episode I did think it was going to be terrible,but after watching it I.actually enjoyed it,it's definitely a weak moment of the 25th season but it's not horrible.The musical number at the end was certainly my favourite part,it was wacky and hilarious.I think this episode would have seemed more normal had it been on Family Guy or American Dad,but you wouldn't expect it from the Simpsons,however,What to Expect When Bart's Expecting is an enjoyable episode.

      Word spreads like wildfire that Bart has magical powers when,dabbling in the dark arts,he casts a spell on his art teacher.

      Or what to expect when the writers have run out of ideas

      This episode is absolutely ridiculous. It starts solidly and had me interested for a moment, but then it turned. One preposterous action is followed by another one, and every time you think it can't get more ridiculous, it does. Jokes are somewhat crude, not balanced at all, just straight pathetic and superficial based on a given situation. This episode lacks any subtlety, it instead bets on 'fun' meaning as ridiculous as possible making you wonder what drugs the writers were taking when writing the script and who in their right mind got to approve of this atrocity.

      This is one of the worst Simpsons episodes to date, which I hate to see, as I love that series and I enjoy even the new seasons. But this thing, guys. This thing takes the cake. Smashes you with it to the face. And keep hitting you with till you lose consciousness.

      To be or not to be is the question. Not to be 100% for this thing.

      Good episode, some fun stuff with Fat Tony and musical number

      Bart tries to get rid of his irritating art teacher with ​​voodoo, but just manages to get her pregnant. After this, Bart is asked to make children for infertile couples. Fat Tony also gets the news on his ears, and kidnaps Bart and Homer to pair his horses.

      In fact, I liked this episode. Jokes were clever, and the plot was functional, and didn't meandered around. Fat Tony-plot was also very funny and witty, especially Homer's, Bart's, Fat Tony's and Louie's song number was witty and entertaining. If the criticism should be given, it would be that it has too much jokes. They are flyin around, and some miss the goal, otherwise an brilliant episode.
