Warning: Spoilers
i never give something 10 but for this one i have to. i usually visit this site and give cheesy reviews of shows i have watched on the oldie station but i thought, why not this. I have been known to be a fan of the Simpsons, i have almost every figure in the Springfield series minus bout 20 of them and they are mostly the ones you get in the play sets. i find the new Simpsons fad chasing and preachy so my figures are for sale soon. contact me, cheap. anyhow , this episode was so awesome when i saw it new nad it never gets old, what is it, over 20 years, i remember being in art class and talking about this one, that was 1993. Everyone saw this episode. Common phrases were "super fun happy slide" or "Hey Otto there 's a Gremlin on the side of the bus". I always liked how Burns shadow played the yo yo and didn't act like him . I remember a Mad Magizine where they had someone write in saying that scene stole from them when Mad Magizine had a bit about people doing one thing and their shadow doing another (lots of material there). The forbidden donut, Lionel Hutz, the Philidlehia dirt bag flyers of 76 (Sorry Devils fan here), ironic punishment in hell (twilight zone fan so nothing new but still cool), and did i already say "super fun happy slide">.

Perhaps my favorite part of this episode, now that i approach 40 , is how it reminds me of being a kid on a school bus. No monsters, no gremlins on the side of the bus, no flares or German kids named Uter, but that warm feeling you had back when, when you were on a bus on your way to school in rainy weather but you were warm and fine and you had that great feeling that when you got to school, you had something (rain) to look at when you stared out the window. The Simpson cannot recreate taht ever again, not for my generation at least. now all the episodes deal with stupid trends so much that like i said, i got a lot of figure for sale for cheap. but that feeling i get , when i see the school bus (ghoul bus) , that can never be sold.
