All I can say is that I'm so relieved. I knew this show could resurrect itself if it tried.
This episode is brilliant. It's not childish, or lame, it's one of the most realistic episodes of The Simpsons ever made. In some scenes I was just waiting for the childish, immature joke to ruin it, but nothing happened.
What makes me even happier, is that this hold-over is actually good. Because usually, a large group of dreadful hold-overs usually means bad things to come.
If the rest of the episodes are going to be like this, then I can safely say: It seems like they're trying harder this season. Knowing that's it's not a total muck-up like Season 18, makes me very happy, and very proud.
8/10 (but considering this is the best excellent episode in ages, I'll upgrade that to 9/10).
