6/10
Simply Enjoyable,

The Caper Chase is a great Simpsons episode with a well written plot and a bunch of very funny scenes. It's an enjoyable episode that pokes fun at the Trump University news that came out several months ago, as we see Mr. Burns start his university for the sake of more profit. It has many very hilarious moments and made for a great twenty minutes.

I did feel the episode could have had more conflict, it was fun to see Homer as a professor and events do occur, but nothing major that could really grab us as viewers.

I love how convoluted this episode got, it was not afraid to go where it went and did not doubt itself for a second in doing so. It features some unlikely guest appearances, most notably Neil DeGrasse Tyson, that are thrown in nicely and did not feel like they were just there for the sake of having these big names on the show.

Good fun from beginning to end. The Caper Chase is a Simpsons that embraces it's ridiculousness, and is all the better for it.

Homer is hired as a professor when Mr. Burns decides to open his own university.
