   Pretty good, though as a former bright yet difficult student I admit I am   
   biased from a history of similar moments with teachers. Odd pacing to the   
   episode, but it wasn't bothersome, the family dynamic seemed to work, and that   
   classic world outlook    
   seemed to be returning a bit too. It even made me forget about the truly   
   painful-to-watch "Wild Wild West" parody during Lisa's presentation. (The   
   credits montage of other class projects was also one of the best such things,   
   not feeling lazy or    
   uninspired.)   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Lisa's classroom has a polar bear poster that reads "a warmer planet's cool   
   with me" (who's funding this school, big oil?)?   
   ...a direct reference to buying and selling weed is fine for TV-PG now - what   
   have all the recent 14 ratings been given for anyway?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   CABF14: Marge's "breakfast!" call very similar, though much longer now   
   8F23: Life-changing vibrating chair not dissimilar   
   9F21: Yale Glee Club coda 10 years in the future sings to the tune of "Baby on   
   Board"   
      
      
   Why even bother?   
   With another late-running football game, the 7:00 repeat of ZABF18 was joined   
   in progress even later than last week's 23-minute silliness: 7:25! With the   
   short NABF21 opening as usual, it got only 2 minutes of the show, almost half   
   of which was the    
   closing credits. I question the wisdom of this, but on the other hand, it did   
   let me see that the airing was *not* compressed, so it seems wonders will   
   never cease.
