I love that quote, but I think it goes more like this:

"So, Mr. Hutz, do you think we have a case?
"Mrs. Simpson, never have a seen such a case of blatant false
advertising since the movie 'The Neverending Story'."

How I miss Phil Hartman and Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure! How I miss
the good old days of The Simpsons because they aren't funny any more.
I wouldn't mind if they cancelled The Simpsons now because they seem
all out of ideas. Each episode is about Homer's latest pop-culture
idea of the moment, and he rightfully says "Son, you're probably
wondering why I'm not at work again today". Does Homer ever go to work
any more?

I've been waiting for the next episode showing Moe's Tavern to see it
magically revert to its old self.
