A definite no to fracking.

Assemblywoman Maxine Lombard is called in by Lisa, when she learns that Mr Burns is fracking in the neighborhood.

'fracking is great, so long as it's on other people's neighbourhoods.' H Simpson 2014.

I enjoyed this one, I liked the flow of the episode, the jokes, and I loved hearing the voice of Jane Fonda.

Is it a classic, no, but it would have been hugely relevant for 2014, a time where fracking seemed to be public enemy number One, as someone who loves very close to an area affected by fracking, I know only too well the fears associates with it.

It was funny seeking Me Burns fall in love, was also good to seem Homer play the hero.

Enjoyable, 7/10.

Enjoyable but a Weaker Moment this Season,

[lesleyharris30 · 5/10 · 5 December 2014]

Opposites A-Frack is a great Simpsons episode with a well written storyline and lots of very funny scenes.This is certainly the weakest episode of the twenty sixth season so far,but it still has some good moments.I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Jane Fonda guest star,I'm pretty sure she has never done voice work previously and and was given a good character.My favourite moment of the episode was certainly the dialogue between Burns and Fonda's character at the end,it had me in stitches as it genuinely reminded me of several old couples that I know.Not as good as some other episodes we've this season,but Opposites A-Frack is still a fun Simpsons.

Mr. Burns ends up falling in love with a woman who is sent to stop his fracking operation.

"Our water was on fire!!"

I really liked the scene with Patty and Selma smoking in the bathroom and accidentally starting the bathroom on fire.

That's the only thing I seemed to really enjoy.

That scene with the water on fire is based on truth, looked it up and that can actually happen in real life with fracking.

The rest of everything was just mildly entertaining.

I don't understand why Mister Burns didn't use money to get Marge's signature for the fracking stuff and just gave up.

The romance between that disposable character and Mister Burns seemed kind of boring.

It's always a bad sign when the set-up part of an episode is funnier than the main story.

This was the case for me here.
