Featured reviews
As a fan of the Simpsons series this episode is by far one of the worst episodes I've seen. Nothing entertaining, funny, or thought provoking. I rather look at the wall during this episode for the same duration and hallucinate something than watch this episode again. I do not understand what is the point of this episode. The ending does not make any sense in regards to the entire episode and the message it's trying to convey is really dumb. Marge is so unlikable in this episode when she's generally pleasant.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope you have a good rest of your day. Good bye.

Mr Burns runs over Bart.
This is a good satire of compensation culture that was a relatively new phenomenon (where I come from) back in the early 90s. Plus is pays great homage to 'The Fortune Cookie' and 'To Kill A Mockingbird'.
It includes strong introductions to the hilarious characters Lionel Hutz and Dr Nick Riviera.
My favourite parts include Bart's vision of hell, Dr Nick's diagnosis, the courtroom scenes, and Homer and Marge's final exchange.

When Bart puts himself in danger with his skateboard, he gets hit by Mr. Burns. He has some injuries but an ambulance chaser comes on the scene and gets Homer's hope for a big settlement a realty. Of course, we all know this will not work out. It's also a very human story this time about the haves and the have nots.
The show was testing the boundaries in its second year, nothing wrong with that.
Again, much like the last episode, this isn't my favourite episode, but there's enough good moments in it to pass the time.
In amongst a stellar second year this episode falters in comparison. If it was made today it would be hailed a classic.

The tenth episode in the second season of the Simpsons is a great one. Somehow, it reminds me of all these courtroom dramas but of course this is all satirical. I liked this episode because it has some good characterization especially Mr. Burns. This episode shows us who the real Burns is. Also, the sleazy lawyer, voiced wonderfully by Phil Hartman, is a fresh new addition and pretty funny.
In this episode, "Bart Gets Hit by a Car," Bart is hit by Burn's car while skateboarding and ends up in the hospital. Refusing Burn's condolence pay of a hundred dollars, Homer decides to take Burns to court.
Overall, this is a great episode. There are some really funny moments but also some sad moments regarding a strained marriage between Homer and Marge. But one that's worth watching. I rate this episode 9/10.
