The episode went off the rails after that though, and Marge's story was absolutely pointless and abysmal. Ned's story was actually kinda okay, and I did think it was mildy amusing. The episode wasn't that horrible, it just wasn't anything exciting, either. Except for Treehouse of Horrors, I'm not a fan of episodes that are broken into parts like this one was. I was incredibly bored for the entirety of this episode. She sits silently waiting to find enlightenment, and she finally does. She just wants less, and she runs off the find enlightenment. A princess, known as Siddmartha, is unhappy despite her life of excess. Lisa is now up to speak, talking about Buddhism. A Nazi tries to kidnap Marge's grandmother, and that leads to a brawl that leads to Marge's grandmother, her husband and Americans taking out all of the Nazis. Grandma Marge's husband hosts Nazis for dinner, but the Nazis discover the American troops and retreat. Marge's grandmother is married to a Nazi collaborator, but she comes across US troops and decides to help them.

Now, Marge is telling a story about her grandmother, who was an atheist. This leads to a near-death experience that sets him on the path of god, because he got a second chance at life. He doesn't get there quite in time, but he ends up getting zapped instead. Ned then notices a story about a local kid who's trying to break the trampoline bounce record, and races to stop him. Unfortunately, the trampolines are discovered to be incredibly dangerous, and will be fatal sue to static electricity after 500 bounces. It gave him incredible success, thanks to the Apollo 13 landing. He was down on his luck, with various terrible jobs, until he got a job as a trampoline salesman. He uses his own godless upbringing as an example. This week, the Simpsons gets religious with three short stories told by three very different people.Īt Sunday school, Ned is explaining the importance of religion to some of Springfield's youngest.

Last week's episode of The Simpsons was a delight that saw Marge and Homer's marriage once again on the rocks.
