    Why rate a perfectly good episode low

    This one had so many jokes it could fit in 3 episodes. All very funny and entertaining. A good creative mix of classic Simpsons with new Simpsons. Family guy and Simpsons nailed this sunday, high quality stuff.

    Why so much praise for this episode!?

    Come on! This episode was terrible and boring. The Simpsons ruined Cletus my making him a boring character. This episode was fart fetched, and boring and stupid for the most part.

    Good entertaining episode

    Cletus becomes a star even though he is a lone farmer. I thought this episode was funny because it involves cletus, which is pretty funny in my opinion.

      Music Manager: Listen to how I say this... It's something everybody says, but I say it better than anybody else: How are you?

      Pro Basketball Player: Well, I don't...

      Music Manager: Shh shh! Don't talk, just listen. You're gonna be a brand. I'm want to tell your stories. Tell me your story. Not the person they see on the court.

      Pro Basketball Player: My family didn't have much money. My daddy used to...

      Music Manager: That is so relatable. Not to me, I'm rich, but god I always wanted to live in poverty. Now all I ask is 15% of your earnings for life. Not your whole life, after 80 it's all yours. And when you retire, you're going to get a Netflix special. Actually, everybody gets a Netflix special. Why do they even call them that? They should call them Netflix normals. You want a Netflix normal? We'll get it for you. You want the Obamas to produce? You got it. Not Barack or Michelle, that's impossible.

      [yelling offscreen]

      Music Manager: Check on Malia, please! Malia! No, it's not a country!

      Pro Basketball Player: Can I just say...

      Music Manager: Shh shh shh shh shh! You don't have to talk, not unless you're getting paid a million dollars a word, and some of those words can be "a" or "the". Listen, never say "won't" again, say "will not", because that's two million dollars. That's a Bentley. Have you ever been interested in a roofing company? You're very tall. You're much closer to rooves than most people. Oh! How 'bout this: I could book you as a freak in a monster movie. Or a dinosaur. You're as big as a small dinosaur. We're trying to develop an animated musical about the dinosaurs that survived the comet. You could play a small dinosaur. You jump out of a tree, you sing a song -- we've already got one written, it's called "I'm Still Here".
