As with any themed gimmick episode of The Simpsons, half the fun in "The Serfsons" comes in seeing how all the familiar characters and locales have changed to fit the new setting. That said, it's hard not to wonder how the episode might have fared had it stuck to spoofing one particular franchise rather than an entire genre. It's also a bit frustrating to see a fruitful conflict between Marge and her mother wasted on a spinoff story like this. This episode is hardly the worst season premiere the show has delivered, but it's far from the best, either.
