My Octopus and a Teacher

Remember that time The Simpsons had completely ripped off Family Guy? Well, guess what? THAT JUST HAPPENED TODAY! Family Guy already touched on this exact topic in the episode Fast Times at Buddy Cianci Jr High, where Chris had a crush on his teacher.

People like to bad mouth Family Guy for ripping off The Simpsons. But what they don't realise is that The Simpsons can rip off Family Guy too!

The episode had a plot, some heart, some jokes, and a lesson. It doesn't deserve 1-star reviews. 1-star reviews are for unwatchable things like "The Hottie and the Nottie", "The Room", or any parody movie since "Not Another Teen Movie."

This is not a proper way that Bart has a crush on a teacher because he was traumatize about the time he was drowned and the new teacher saved his life with feeling embarrassed and angry at the same time, this story is way too awkward for me.

I remember he did actually had a crush on Mrs. Berrera back in 2016 until Skinner gets revenge on Bart.

Boy I miss season 27 already it has been a great season on Present day Simpsons.

This was a good episode. It wasn't bad nor average like the past couple of episodes in the last couple of seasons but it's not a hidden gem and it wasn't that exceptional.

It touched my heart a little bit and the lesson was nice.

I liked the plot with Bart and the teacher more than the B plot (The octopus and Lisa) which was kind of boring, but not that bad.

It's kind of sad that they're replacing Krabappel after all these years, but what are you gonna do, they killed her off because the voice actor sadly passed away.

I don't really understand why some people said this episode sucked, it wasn't bad.

Look, there's nothing overly wrong here. I want to get that out of the way from the start.

I've stuck with this show through some very grim periods of its thirty-three year run (yes, you read that right - thirty-three) and this episode certainly is not as bad as some others.

However, stacked up against what has been a very consistent series thirty-three it doesn't quite compare.

There are some nice ideas, but we've either seen them done better before, or they aren't overly engaging.

If this episode had been a part of say series eleven then it would get a massively higher score from me, because that was a middling year at best, but compared like for like it's not as good.
