Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The Simpsons' 27th season season reminded us that the show can still entertain and even find find moments of greatness this far removed from its golden age. However, that was only after kicking off the season with a particularly weak and unsatisfying premiere. Maybe it's going to become an annual tradition to start off poorly and work up from there? At this point I'm hoping that'll be the case. "Monty Burns' Fleeing Circus" wasn't as offensively bad at last year's "Every Man's Dream," but it did feature this long-running animated sitcom as its most bland and uninspired.
As is too often the case with this series, "Monty Burns' Fleeing Circus" took a solid initial premise and failed to do anything memorable with it. In this case, the town of Springfield faced its greatest catastrophe since it was trapped underneath a giant dome for a few months. A poorly conceived replacement for the iconic Lard Lad statue resulted in the town's complete and utter destruction. How do Springfield's citizens respond to this crisis? Can the town rise from the ashes? The answer, as it turned out, is that Mister Burns was there to flip a switch and immediately return life to normal. So instead of an episode focused on a post-apocalyptic Springfield or the construction of an all-new, all-different Springfield, we got a silly little story about Mr. Burns staging a vaudeville variety show as his repayment for bailing out the town.
