The Simpsons - 16x17 - The Heartbroke Kid

    After a new vending machine contract goes into effect at Springfield Elementary, Bart is sucked into eating lots of junk food.  After he has a heart attack, Bart is sent to a fat camp.  To make ends meet, Homer and Marge open their house up to be a youth hostel.
    Like most of the more modern Simpsons episodes, it's a mixed bag.  Certain things work very well, like the tryouts for vending machines, and even the design of the winning vendor.  Hibbert yelling that he won't bury another patient… or some of the stuff with the German travelers they put up.
    Albert Brook guests as the voice of the fat camp director.  He's using a voice that is roughly the same as his Scorpio voice, but he doesn't seem quite as funny.
    I don't think there's anything that stands out as being especially bad.  I guess my reservations are mostly that the jokes don't feel as solid and speedy as I like 'em.  And it probably hits a bit close to home.
