Naptime at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is interrupted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which is conducting a surprise inspection and employee audit. Homer's skills are tested and not only is he found to be incompetent, he causes a nuclear meltdown. The NRC inspectors demand that Homer either take college courses to obtain the necessary credentials or else Mr. Burns will face criminal charges. Burns gets Homer enrolled at Springfield University, where he acts like an immature adolescent. When he continues to act like a know-it-all in physics class, the professor has enough and asks him to demonstrate a proton accelerator; Homer causes another meltdown. Homer is asked to hire a tutor, and does: nerds Benjamin, Gary and Doug. Instead of applying himself, Homer sees the three nerds have no social life and decides to teach them how to party. He get's them expelled. In a scheme to get them re- admitted, Homer runs over the Dean with the intention of the nerds pushing him out of the way before he gets hit. The plan fails, the Dean get run over and admitted to Hospital.

I love the central premise of this episode that Homer's entire conception of college is based on bad 70's and 80's movies.

One of the best episodes.

This just looks full of life. The animation, the jokes, everything is on point. Old simpsons is a bible for TV cartoons.

The nuclear fallout dudes in the suits running in knowing Homer is such an underappreciated bit... top notch humor.

Take THAT Bitterman

Homer making the cool young dean out to be a bitter, crusty old curmudgeon (like the deans in college movies) is one of my favorite running jokes of the show.

It's not just the writing of new simpsons that sucks; it's the animation. It's too sterile and precise.

Ahh, the 90's was a golden era for The Simpsons.

Am I the only one who is still baffled at the fact that technically ever since this episode, homer has a degree in nuclear physics?
