Featured review
Fun episode,but One of the Weakest of the 24th Season,
Changing of the Guardian is a great Simpsons episode with a lot of very funny scenes and a good storyline.However,I think most of the fun in this episode was in the first fifteen episodes,it started getting weak once Rashida Jones came along, the episode took a more serious turn and it wasn't as enjoyable.The start of the episode was certainly were most of the fun and enjoyment came from,with hurricane and Danny DeVito's first time voicing Herb since the third season and Marge and Homer looking for a guardian, it started off with tons of laughs, but once they found their guardians it just became more serious than you'd expect from this show.I like Rashida Jones,I think she is hilarious in many things I've seen her in,but the dialogue that was written for her character just wasn't funny,it wasn't really suppose to be most of the time.Changing if the Guardian is a lot of fun at the start, but once the guardians come along,the episode does get weak.
Marge and Homer worry about who would look after their kids if the worst were to happen after a deadly hurricane,so they decide to go in search of guardians for Bart,Lisa and Maggie.
