The Tipping Point was a good episode. There's been only around 90 rating for this episode and 4 reviews ( well, not counting this one ), but those rating average to a horrible rating of 5.5, which right now, is the worst rated episode of the season ( I truly wish I could say last 2 seasons ). In the last 5 episodes cases the earlier scores of the episode were 7 and over, which ( sadly ) for modern Simpsons, that's a really good thing. Now let's look at the reviews. Out of all 5 reviews before this review was posted, all 3 of them are negative reviews, with the highest being 6 stars, and the lowest being, yes you're reading that right, 1 star. When the rating was 5.9, which is better than the rating right now but still pretty bad, I assumed the ratings for this episode would go a little higher in the future, but I also assumed the ratings for this epispde were going to end up in the low 6's in the future. However, right now the episode is sitting at an abysmal rating of 5.5. This episode is the seventh lowest rated episode of the WHOLE series. That's right, the WHOLE series. For almost 800 episodes, that is impressively bad. I can see why this episode got negatively received through. A lot of reviews were pointing out how ridiculous and confusing it was to them, and I have to admit the message this episode was trying to tell me was confusing, but I still thought this episode was a hilarious episode, until the second half.
The first half was really funny, and in that half I like how the writer of this episode really over exaggerated about giving tips. It might not make a very realistic premise, but it does make a pretty enjoyable premise, and this episode as a whole sn't aiming for a powerful dramatic story like some of the other episodes, it's just aiming for a enjoyable and funny episode. Many reviews are missing the point of that. However, the second half just wasn't very enjoyable. First of all they played this anoying song. It was about some country having no tips. The song wasn't even funny. It sounded more like an add then an actual song in a comedy. At this point the episode stopped being enjoyable for me. After that it just stopped being funny. It reminded me of like a series 17 episode. It was okay, but just wasn't funny. If the episode didn't transition to that song and took the wrong turn I would have gave it a pretty high rating of 8.1, and maybe even the ratings for this episode would be a bit higher, I don't know though.
Even though I'm not going to give this episode a that high rating, I'm excited for the next episode. I read the description and it said it was about Bart making a new friend. That friend is probably going to sound like an adult, but hey, every guest star who acts as a kid in the Simpsons doesn't sound like a kid. In all, I give this episode a 7.1 out of 10.
