Simpsons Top 100 Countdown
#54 The Front
Season 4, Episode 19 (Guide from the Simpsons Archive)
After seeing a horrible new Itchy and Scratchy cartoon, Bart and Lisa decide to write their own episode. When their script is rejected ecause they’re kids, they put Grandpa’s name on it instead, which gets it accepted and it fetches rave reviews. Grandpa is hired on to write more episodes, and Bart and Lisa continue to do the real writing. Grandpa is nominated for an award and sees the results of “his” writing for the first time, and is completely disgusted by it, denouncing it in his acceptance speech after he wins. In the B Story, we discover that Homer never graduated high school because he failed remedial science 1A. After confessing to Marge, and then being embarrassed when his failure to graduated is exposed at their class reunion, he takes the class at night school so he can get his diploma. Memorable moments include playing down Krusty’s Jewishness, Homer’s plunger problem and the kids’ reaction, the bad Itchy and Scratchy cartoon (funny because of how bad it is), Bart’s thought, Homer’s confession, Homer’s hedge trimming, John Swartzwelder, Bart and Lisa’s cartoon, good ol’ rock, Roger Meyers firing a writer and harassing him, Grandpa’s letter writing (each of them), Grandpa checking his underwear, Grandpa getting the call about the check, Dondelinger, Homer’s pride in getting all the chump awards, the revocation of those awards, Artie Ziff (and the bit that they ended up basing an entire show’s plot around in a later season), the writers, Krusty’s adventures with the patch, the second cartoon of “Abe” Simpson, Abe showing up at the Simpson house, Homer’s thought, the Democrat line, Abe’s dream, study tour complete with reused background, Homer’s night class (mostly the doughnut burning and the testing), Abe’s confession, the award presentation of Krusty and Brooke Shields, Abe’s rehearsal speech, how to buy action figure man, the sassy robot line (which did indeed become a Matt Groening series), and The Adventures of Ned Flanders.
