As I attempt to wrap up my reviews of The Simpsons‘ twentieth season, we run into a real stinker of an episode. After Marge learned how bad Springfield Elementary School really is, she decided it was time to move the kids into a different school. There was just one problem: they would have to move.
The Simpsons manage to get around this legal issue by renting an apartment in the new school’s town and Homer got stuck living in the apartment because of the threat of a random audit. The school is onto the families who do exactly what the Simpsons are doing and they want to make sure that only families truly living in the area are able to get into their uppity school.
Homer’s stay in the micro apartment was without a doubt the highlight of the episode. This plot only got better when Marge dropped by and it was like they were a whole new couple again. I liked it.
The scenes at the Waverly Hills school didn’t win me over. This entire plot seemed tired, like it was something we’ve seen half a dozen times. It lacked originality and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. This really took down the episode since so much of the episode was geared to this one lame plot.
Rating: 4.5
