The Simpsons - 11x18 - Days of Wine and D'oh'ses

    Barney decides to stop drinking, and takes advantage of a coupon for free helicopter piloting lessons.  Bart and Lisa work on taking a photo for the cover of the new phone book.  And Homer is bothered by the loss of Barney as a drinking buddy.
    By the 11th season, the Simpsons wasn't doing great.  There are some really weak episodes in the season, and this is one of the mid-level ones.  There are some really good gags, and most of the Bart & Lisa plot is very enjoyable.  The Barney plot is good… but not great.  I don't care for the way the helicopter is animated in this episode either.  It looks a little too two-dimensional.
