The Simpsons: Behind the Laughter (2000)
Season 11, Episode 22
9/10
My second favorite Simpsons episode
21 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Behind the laughter is my favorite season 11 episode in a season that is filled with crap and mediocrity (I'll get to kill the alligator and run at some point) but this episode is the outlier here, and here is why. A lot of what I like about this episode is that the family breaks their characters which may seem like a bad thing, but this is for good because of the genre change from sit-com to documentary. The fact that this is parodying the vh1 show behind the music is so cool and funny, and the fact that the family is shown as real people instead of cartoon characters is very odd but also very fitting. Now the episode isn't perfect, what Marge does after the break up of the family is very hard to explain, but cringe worthy at best, and the reunion was a little thin but it is still a pleasant watch.

But what you should watch this for is Jimmy Carter break dancing.
