An episode from this season had Bart becoming "best friends" with Lisa when Milhouse moved away, then leaving her cold when Milhouse returned. Although the ending was touching and sentimental, they tacked on an epilogue from "Weezy" about how this is known in TV circles as "schmaltz".
On the "Family Guy" DVD commentary, they called such scenes their "moment of sh*t".

..Then at the end of the episode he has to say good bye again. The last scene in which he's sitting on his car looking at the stars as teh credits start to roll gave the scene such humanity. It was a truley touching scene.Also, the episode where homer eats the poisonous fish at the japanese restaurant and then thinks he's going to die is very sad and moving.
i was gonna thoes 2 too 🙂
s' sad when homer's all alone sittin on his car lookin at the stars.. 🙁
I think every Simpsons episode for the last 3 or 4 years has been sad. It has gone from not very original to the exact smae thing overand over. I used to love the Simpsons, but then it died. The Homer is fat and stupid thing just isnt funny anymore after the 10,000th time. Its either that or some stupid celebrity guest star. South Park however, is still original and still makes me laugh.
I agree, the Simpsons has lost its touch, it's just not funny anymore, it use to have everything, humor, emotion, and problems we deal with in everyday life, but now its just a load of rubbish, it's the same with the last season of friends, thats just not funny anymore.
And the episode where Homers Mum goes away again and at the end he's sitting on the car looking at the stars is very sad, the same with the music thats playing too.......when that scene happens my brother changes the channel and I always say "PUT IT BACK NOW!!!!!!!."
