A fun episode

This is a fun episode from the shows first series, one that remind us how good the show was before the writers got sex obsessed and ruined it.

I thought there were some lovely moments here. From Charlie teaching the kids, to Jake's struggle about his parents divorce.

Charlie Sheen is so good in this early episodes, and actually has real scenes to play, unlike those he'd be faced with later in the shows long, long run.

I enjoyed this episode, I thought it was warm and funny, as well as boasting good performances from all involved.

Quite a funny episode.

They could of used a couple of Charlie's (Charlie Sheen) mindless jingles which would have been fine. But, what's great about this episode is they had the comedic guts to go heavy with the funny jingles. The sound quality could have been a little better in the classroom. It was a little difficult to make out the words of the singers.

I really liked the obligatory life lesson Charlie helped Jake (Angus T Jones) with, "It's ok to be sad" was extremely quick and painless to the viewer. The emphasis of the episode was comedy not teaching life lessons.

Stunning Miss Tuttle (Deena Dill) was definitely a highlight even with a limited appearance. A stellar episode that caught me off guard how zany it was.

Trivia
Episodes are named for a line from the show. This episode's title is not an exact quote: "Not gonna face all those pre-pubers without a snootful."

Goofs
A boom mic is visible several times in the corner behind Charlie's right shoulder as he is sitting at the piano in Jake's classroom during practice for the school show. The shadow of the mic is also visible beneath it, on the music stand.
