Tv Tropes Simpsons Recap

'Gorgeous Grampa' is the fourteenth episode of the 24th season of The Simpsons and the 522nd episode overall.^[3] It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 3, 2013.

Plot[edit]

Homer becomes addicted to a reality TV show called Storage Battles and decides to participate in a storage unit auction as a result. He wins the storage unit with $1000, outbidding several townspeople and elephant Stampy. The family goes through its contents to find it is full of women's clothes and muscleman magazines belonging to Grampa Simpson. Marge comes to the conclusion that Grampa is a closeted homosexual who was forced to be heterosexual through most of his life. Homer and Marge set Grampa up with Waylon Smithers, but the plan fails when Mr. Burns arrives and scares Smithers off. Marge then admits to Grampa that she thought he was homosexual, to which Grampa becomes enraged and Mr. Burns reveals that Grampa actually used to be an old-time Gorgeous George-type wrestler called 'Glamorous Godfrey', whose radical fighting style was heavily despised by the wrestling fan community, forcing him to retire. Burns reveals himself to be Godfrey's biggest fan (and only living one); he then persuades Grampa to return to the wrestling scene, which Grampa does. Though he is again met with loathing, Grampa continues the act under Burns's manipulation.

Bart soon becomes fascinated with Grampa and starts mimicking the mannerisms Grampa uses in the ring. However, he also attracts hatred and it worries Homer and Marge, but pleases Grampa and Burns. Under Burns's supervision, Grampa and Bart partner up in a tag team wrestling match. Marge tries to appeal to Grampa, but he turns her efforts down. However, he changes his mind when he observes Bart harassing the audience and takes on another wrestling identity that he calls 'Honest Abe' in order to convince Bart to stop his ways. When Burns protests against this, Grampa and Bart defeat him in the ring. Afterwards, the two retire from wrestling.

Critical reception[edit]

Robert David Sullivan of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B-, saying, 'The season has already been heavy on nostalgia and on Grampa appearances, so it's not a pleasant surprise when the Simpsons stumble upon a storage unit with boxes of feather boas, wigs, and perfume sprayers in boxes marked 'Property of Abe Simpson'.'^[4]

Simpsons wrestling game. Apr 07, 2001  Simpsons Wrestling could have been an OK game at best, but the low-ball production nightmare found in this cheap old sow ruins any chance of redemption. The funny thing is, I. Apr 13, 2001  the Simpson's are the best on t.v. But i can't believe they could release such a bad game. I realise that this was made back in 2001 but back then they still had better graphics than this. They don't look like they are fighting, they look like they're having a cat fight. The game play is terrible and the special moves aren't so special as they don't have much affect on your opponent. Simpsons wrestling This game wasn't very good. It was too short, too easy, and Whatever. I found this kinda boring. Gameplay The gameplay was the only thing close to decent. It was okay but it sux. The Simpsons Wrestling is really nothing like a traditional wrestling match other than the 3-count pin to finish the round. Like other aspects of The Simpsons, this game is totally wacky and promises to be a lot of fun for fans of TV show. Feb 01, 2017  A playthrough of Activision's 2001 license-based wrestling game for the Sony PlayStation, The Simpsons Wrestling.
