Episode synopsis from snpp.com

      May 12 . 8:00 . Little Girl in the Big Ten (DABF15)
      Lisa tries to pass herself off as a college student

Simpsons Little Girl in the Big Ten 30 min. Two college girls mistake Lisa for a peer; Bart lives inside a bubble to contain the infection he got from a Chinese mosquito. Former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky has a cameo. Yeardley Smith, Nancy Cartwright, Harry Shearer.

Robert Pinsky-former poet laureate of the US. More information can be found at http://www.poets.org/poets/poets.cfm?prmID=204. It would have been funny if they promoded the episode by saying "Robert Pinsky! He's just not reading poetry tonight!"

How old is Hans Mulman-in one episode (I believe it is

Duffless (#9F14) )

that Hans mulman says he is 33 years old, and now he is 80?!? Something has got to give.

Strange irony of the week: Just last week, I, a college graduate, went rolling down a hill at a certain southern university. It was a hell of a lot of fun... Made me really dizzy though. Maybe I should have not have done that right before my final.

REVIEW: A subplot that ran into the episode? Jokes that made me laugh? Homer not a jerkass? An episode not based on Homer?!? Bart and Lisa as the stars of an episode? Must be the new regime at work, and things are good in Springfield. A

I gave it a B+. I thought the ending was rushed and seemed like something that Lisa wouldn't do, a more Bart like prank. Other faults of the episode were not having Willie roll down the hill after he broke his rake and cleaned it up with another rake, I thought Lisa should have got an A on her project and not an A-, because Lisa is an A student, and she should have wrecked her project after Ms Hoover graded it, not before. I lol'ed at: -The Manson family vibe part -Ralph Ralph and more Ralph -Mrs Skinners line about what Principal Skinner does at night. -"I had a dog" "YOU HAVE CAT NOW!" -the Cathy cartoon reference. -The idea that Homer would throw his pellet gun in a tree. -Grandpa's Nostalga meal -The Roddy McDowell reference (I think everything that references Planet of the Apes is funny) -Krusty in the sweat shop. -Everything about Lisa's "Party House" I think that is everything. -Aaron TheYAM.net

all the LOL's were what gave the episode an A in my opinion. That and the jokes were believable while funny, and that is a big plus in my book.

Maybe they just thought he was 80. Hans didn't say he was 80.

yeah - they probably didn't know that alcohol ruined his life.

Ironically, many of the key figures in this episode (Al Jean, Jon Vitti, and I think I saw Mike Reiss's name as a producer) are from the show's *first* regime. Let's hope they teach these young whippersnappers a thing or two about making a "Simpsons" episode.
