Simpson Crazies Newsletter for the October 19th Episode:
Newsletter by JF ((Attempted editing by DF--I've said it before and Ill say it again: NOTHING can edit the Freak :))

Trouble begins when Homer tells Bart to stop Lisa from playing her Sax, and Bart causes it to fly out the window. Soon it is flattened, and Lisa is crying. Homer tries to chear her up, but fails miserably, and thus begins to tell the story of how Lisa got her Sax. Unfortunately, it turns into the story about Bart's first day of school: Bart is excited about the first day of school, yet his first day becomes a nightmare. He isn't what one would call gifted, and the teacher proceeds to call him an idiot. At the end of the day, he goes home crying, and Homer and Marge go and see the Counselor for help. After a mix-up of thinking Bart was gay, instead of Milhouse, the Counselor declares that Bart has no hope, but Lisa should go to an elite private school.

The next day, Bart decides to act as the class clown, and calls himself "butt man" for attention. Homer and Marge try to get Lisa into an elite private school, but it costs too much money. Marge tells Homer they have to find a way to use their AC money for Lisa. Unfortunately, a heat wave has just hit Springfield, and Homer can't stand it. Homer is about to buy an AC, but then sees a music store, and buys Lisa a Sax. It cuts back to the present where Homer uses the AC money again to buy Lisa a new Sax.

This Episode was the worst ever this season. First off, it was less reliable of depending on past episodes than the Tree House of Horror episodes; Bart was shown to be evil in Marges womb; and Lisa's present Sax was from Bleedin' Gums, I was about to yell at the writers for messing up so much. Second off, the jokes were horrible and many times things were done just to fill time, such as the full beginning, the song and the live audience part, which had nothing to do with anything. I give it a D+.

Reviews at a glance:
DF: There were some good parts but then came the rest of it: C
UP: At first I thought this episode had promise, but it turned dull, with very few good lines. C+
MB-Unabailable for quote
Average grade C
