Is that the last one you saw? The one where Maude dies is later that season.
Looking at that season,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_season_11
I see two episodes I remember liking enough that I would expect to find them particularly enjoyable if I saw them again:
“Beyond Blunderdome”_
_After destroying an “Elec-Taurus” electric car in a test run, the Simpsons are given free tickets to Mel Gibson’s new film, a remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Mel Gibson, however, laments his current role without violence and wants someone to give him criticism. When Homer sees Mel talking with Marge, he gives Mel a brutal review, leading Mel to believe that Homer is the only man brave enough to give suggestions. As a result, he hires him to create a better ending. However, when the ending proves to be too controversial, Mel and Homer end up on the run from studio executives with the film.[12]
This one turned out to be prescient.
“E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)” [sic]
Inspired by a cheesy “Zorro” movie, Homer begins slapping people with a glove and challenging them to duels (with the victims giving Homer whatever he wants instead of accepting the challenge), but when a real Southern gentleman accepts Homer’s request for a duel, the Simpsons run off to the old farm Homer lived in with his parents (as seen in the season six episode “Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy”) and breed a dangerously addictive but successful tobacco/tomato hybrid called “tomacco”. Just when they are about to gain a hundred million dollars from the hybrid, dangerously addicted animals ruin their plan. Homer proceeds to duel, only to get shot in the arm.[22]
Like alot of the episodes from this era, this plot would have been too absurd even for season 6, but it’s fun if you can take it on it’s own terms. At least to me.
