- Quotes
Kent Brockman: Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?
Homer Simpson: Aw, you can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forfty percent of all people know that.
Kent Brockman: I see. Well, what do you say to the accusation that your group has been causing more crimes than it's been preventing?
Homer Simpson: Oh, Kent, I'd be lying if I said my men weren't committing crimes.
Kent Brockman: [pause] Well, touché.

This is a very strong episode with good comedy and memorable character moments.
There is a good plot that gives numerous opportunities for funny dialogue and sight gags. The townsfolk's mob mentality and media's fondness for stirring up fear are lampooned humorously.
Homer is used to great effect as ever being the central focus of all buffoonery. His loutishness and stupidity are perfect for the role. Grampa Simpson is amongst the other characters well used. Sam Neil's Malloy is an excellent guest character and David Niven tribute.
For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
