This is one of my least favorite episodes. So BART gets tortured over losing in a baseball game then, he tries to take his own life and the town still doesn't care it is one of the worst Simpsons episodes ever. How did the writers think this would be good? It's really mean spirited and tortures bart. 1/10 worst of the show so . It just punches down on Bart for 22 minutes why would they think this would be funny it's not . The b plot with Homer becoming a mattress salesman is alright though but gets a litttle boring and cheif wiggum saying jump to Bart when he's taking his life makes me mad ehy.
At least in "Lisa Goes Gaga" the writers just seem lazy, this episode they try to make fun of a very serious subject, and it's unnecessarily dark and cruel.
Its not worst than any other Season 18 episodes. Not better but not worst , in the weakest season of the Simpsons so far " The boys of bummer" talk about sport fans beeing bullies over players for little mistakes in Big Games... This happen in Real life so it was nice to see this issue in the Simpsons. What is your problems guys, all the reviews i read are so stupid, you guys are in shock because everyone bullies Bart , but do you know Bart is not a Real person ? Flash news he is an animé characters, even in a sitcom it would be no problem talking about suicide and bullies, as long as its Funny, and as long as people watching are smart enough to know that the episode is against the abusive behavior of fans !
In the end everyone help Bart and we learn that bullies is Bad ! 7.5/10.

This show is great, but this episode is the worst thing on television. Bart may be a hellish douchebag, but even THIS is a new low. For god's sake, the process of hatred for Bart is composed of cruelty, hypocrisy, and a cringe-worthy climax of Bart's mental anguish being summarized as an attempted suicide jump from atop a water tower. Even then, they STILL hate him. In the end, this is an episode that if you ever see, I pity you. It is a terrible waste of 22 minutes in which every second is regrettable, so don't watch it. If you plan on doing so, you must apparently like sadistic torture.
Well, there's also a subplot, and it is terribly tedious and awful crap. Basically, Homer becomes a matteress salesman. Whoop-de-fricking do! Who gives a crap? Oh yeah: NOBODY!!!

If you're depressed DO NOT WATCH this episode.
It's ridiculous, they should be worrying about something else that the whole town hates what Bart did so bad.
Even Sideshow Bob doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.
At least Lisa goes Gaga has a happy theme to it and is horrible.
