Many fans of "The Simpsons" think that clip shows are the worst episodes of the show. TV Squad thought that it was made in a way that was still "worth watching" and was similar to a slideshow, but "not quite as boring". Other critics said it was "not the worst" clip show and that "the episode title pretty much says it all". Colin Jacobson from DVD Movie Guide thought that the episodes shown were good but that the clip show was not necessary.
