SPOILERS
This is probably the third best episode in Season One of the Simpsons. I think Some Enchanted Evening is the best, followed by Krusty Gets Busted, and that is followed by this. Anyway, this is the first episode of the Simpsons written by John Swartzwelder, and this is a good script. I love the references to Patton, and when I mean references I mean the music, and two-thirds of the scenes in this episode are taken from Patton. This is also the first appearance of Nelson Muntz.
Here is the plot of this episode. Bart makes a bully named Nelson bleed. Nelson then starts beating Bart up each day. Bart needs help. His grandpa helps him. He, Bart, and a guy named Herman set up a plan to attack Nelson. Bart rounds up every child in Springfield to go through hard and painful training to finally get payback on Nelson. When they see Nelson again they attack him with hundreds and hundreds of water balloons. Bart forces Nelson to sign a peace treaty.
Overall, this is a fantastic episode of the Simpsons first season. I also like the ending in which Bart tells the viewers that war is not cool, except for the Revolutionary War, World War II, and the Star Wars trilogy. Anyway, this is an enjoyable Season One episode of the Simpsons that is written by the king of the Simpsons writing staff John Swartzwelder. Wait, I have more to say. The plot of this episode if incredible and I also like the references to the Longest Day and Full Metal Jacket apart from the obvious references to Patton. I also found that the animation on Bart when he is blown dry with a blow dryer by Homer is kind of disturbing. I also found Bart's tears to be freaky looking. This is a great episode that should not be missed if you are a huge fan of the Simpsons like me.
9/10
