Scorecard

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great (8/10) | Amazing (9/10) | Perfect (10/10) | Perfect (10/10) | Great (8/10) |
| Animation is great, but not as good looking as the next season. | This one doesn’t have very many issues with writing. | Like many of the early Simpsons episodes, very easy to watch. | No issues with lines or sound effects. | Moe got what he deserved. |
Rating: 45/50 – Great (8/10)
