Too much lard for me

I actually thought I had seen this episode already when I decided to re-watch season 10.

The moment the new girl gets introduced I immediately new who had a cameo in this episode. Her voice is very ''grown up'' which didn't really suit the 9-year old character they were portraying.

Really liked seeing Homer and Bart together like that instead of fighting all the time.

Great ending to the episode as well.

Funny how Homer's ''schemes'' always seem to end like that.

I sometimes do miss the old Simspons episodes as I thought the humor and the actual storyline at times was better than the new modern episodes, but I'll be a Simpsons fan for life.
