The Simpsons - 18x19 - Crook and Ladder

    After Homer puts most of the fire department in the hospital, he volunteers to replace them, along with Moe, Principal Skinner, and Apu.  They get caught up in the habit of stealing, or being rewarded for their work.
    This is a middling episode.  There are plenty of enjoyable parts, but the episode never really reaches into the level of hilarity that we expect from The Simpsons.  I just flipped through the episode again to make sure.  The first half of the episode is actually better than the second half.  The gags about Marge wanting to take away the pacifier are better, as well as Homer's whole sleepwalking thing.  Once he becomes a fireman, meh, it's funny, but I rarely broke into a laugh.  The gags a bit more predictable.
