The Simpsons - 6x21 - The PTA Disbands

    Springfield Elementary is running out of money, leading to escalating conflicts between Principal Skinner and the teachers.  When the teachers go on strike, Bart takes the opportunity to play pranks all over, Lisa gets focused on achieving the satisfaction that schooling brings, and eventually, Bart needs to bring an end to the strike in order to prevent Marge from being his teacher.
    Yep, that's not a great summary.  The episode is a bit scattershot, but it's still very enjoyable.  The things I don't like are very brief things - like the time lapse of Skinner and Krabapple arguing and pounding on the door.
    But there are great things, like the foreman with Bart's voice.  The brief, unnecessary gags, like the bullies playing games in the arcade.  Cathy's a big fan of Lisa's storyline, especially when Lisa comes up to Marge, begging to be graded.
