A rare gem.

I don't understand how this has a 6.9! This one of the best modern episodes I've seen in a long time!

Skinners evil plan is best

Warning: Spoilers
I'm so happy with my evil plan.

Say goodbye to music, gym, and art!

Soon, we will have the perfect school!

Where fun and excitement never start!

Groundskeeper Willie: I'm so drunk I can barely see!

But it helps me get through another day!

My stomach is filled with haggis and hurt!

I've got to go puke in some hay!

Bart: Lisa is a fool!

Seymour Skinner: I think the rules are cool!

Groundskeeper Willie: I've fallen in the pool!

Seymour Skinner: Mmmm, not a cloud in the sky. Perfect day to unveil Operation SLAAAM: So Long, Athletics, Arts and Music. Care for a T-shirt?

Superintendent Chalmers: T-shirt? Why don't you just give me a sandwich board that says "Male Prostitute"?

Seymour Skinner: (chuckles) Forgive me, sir.

Lisa: What have I done?

Bart: What they wanted you to.

Lisa: Skinner betrayed me!

Bart: But a tango takes two.

Spot on parody
studioAT9 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Lisa is voted school president in an episode that becomes a spot on parody of 'Evita'.

It's not a standard episode of the show, but it's certainly a very clever one, and it's nice to see a Lisa-centred episode for change.

S15 has started well.

You may think this episode is shallow and an easy parody of a well known musical. But, somehow, you have to recognize that you see it in its entirety every time it is restocked. The songs are catchy as hell, the rhythm is fun, the phrases are unforgettable, and each character gives their best. It is Simpsons in its purest form, laughing at the system making a parody on its scale, releasing hilarious phrases to make us see the reality behind each little theater. Lisa is a complex character, selfish deep down behind her charitable facade, which is why she is also one of the characters who has the most room to evolve in each episode. And because after so many years we already know her and we laugh at her falls from the highest moral standards to her true passion to be accepted and stand out.
