Decided to see how IMDB ranked Simpsons and outside of the golden era which ended in season in 7, I still watched all of 8 and 9 but found more bad than good episodes and 10 it was officially dead so I'd occasionally see an episode after that but just stopped because it wasn't worth my time.
This was "ranked" on IMDB as 44 on list, and was the highest episode past when I stopped watching, I hoped it was a gem but it was clearly why I stopped watching.
The premise is solid, follow 3 characters throughout a day but different overlapping experiences.
I had one chuckle when the French teacher tells his students to laugh in French, a couple mildly amusing smiles but mostly blank and often confused by me.
An couple examples of the sloppy writing (I actually believe the writers increasingly came to hate the audience and stopped caring and those that replaced them are hacks) is they have Marge call Rainer Wolfcastle by his character name McBain. Marge knows who Rainer is but would never know him as McBain, Homer would do that not Marge. I wonder if the writers by this time even realized who was the actor and the character.
The other is it's a school day Bart just leaves the house at the start, old school episodes wouldn't just ignore that Bart skipped school and no one cared. Yes Marge cut Homers finger off or he'd have gone to work but later Lisa stops by Moe's and says noonish is when he'd be drinking, NOT on a work day!
It's just little stuff you can tell the writers don't even know who's who or what's what. This is below par on the worst episodes of classic Simpsons and should have been much lower.
If you disagree with this that's fine but you are the problem, the show should have been cancelled long ago but people with no sense of humor still watch it and laugh.

My brother and sisters used to watch this all the time when we were growing up. Today 30 years later after watching some old Sledgehammer episodes I'd lost track of this and decided to look it up. Best part is it's free on YouTube and I knew every scene like I hadn't watched since the 80's, it's free because it' such a nitch show to watch and no money to be made off of it. They even have a play on Chunk's character from Goonies because the authorities always reference some random B. R. A. T patrol prank "like your luncheon with a Leprechaun"... Stranger Things missed on not including this in their Astin episodes in some way.
Nia Long is in this?!?!?!? Wow that she's still going strong as the "missing" person in Missing.
