    Opening the episode with the Simpsons version of Harlem Shakes was an OK moment and I was surprised the show had not done it yet even though it does feel quite old now. The episode was funny and the show finally was able to make Grandpa funny when an episode focuses on him. Seeing Abraham as a wrestler make in the day was funny seeing all those people who hated him. Bart being involved in the story also made for some great moments between the pair. That is really all the episode is about because not much of the episode was about story as it became quite repetitive. A funny moment in the episode was Marge wanting Abe to be gay as she goes up against Helen Lovejoy.

    Gorgeous Grampa is a good Simpsons episode with a fun and enjoyable storyline with plenty of very funny scenes.I thought the idea of Grampa being a very unliked wrestler in the past was a funny and interesting addition the history of the Simpsons family and when he got Bart involved I thought it got even more enjoyable.My favourite part of the episode was definitely Mr Burns music number about being evil,I found it to be catchy and also hilarious, they don't do songs in the Simpsons very often but when they do there always great.Gorgeous Grampa is a very enjoyable Simpsons episode.

    The family see a different side to Grampa when he revisits his days as fearsome wrestler 'Gorgeous Godfrey'.
