The Simpsons - 4x12 - Marge vs. the Monorail

    A scam artist visits Springfield, and persuades them to spend a recent windfall on a monorail.  It turns out that the monorail is built as cheaply as possible, creating an emergency.
    Like all of the fourth season, the episode is solidly fantastic.  The performances are perfect.  The script has gags that are wonderful little detours, but they build the Simpsons universe.  The squirrel with laser vision and lizard tongue is a perfect example.
    To be honest, as much as I love this episode, there are some gags I just don't like as much.  The exposition given by Sebastian Cobb seems unnecessary, and could have been handled in a different way.  The only joke he delivers that I like is the bit about Gallagher.
    My favorite bit - Mr. Snrub, and Smithers with the Batman escape.  The fact that we see it in the background of the next shot with Apu speaking is part of what sells the joke.
