* AngstWhatAngst: Bart isn't bothered by being bumped down from fourth to third grade except insofar as it will mean sharing a class with Lisa. Compare his struggle not to get held back in "Bart Gets an F." FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you remember that "Sideshow Bob Roberts" saw him being downgraded all the way to kindergarten, which he actually enjoyed. He enjoys himself just as much in this episode, easily acing third-grade exams due to remembering all the answers from the year before.

If Lisa was forced to admit that she wasn’t the genius she thought she was, than perhaps this wasn’t unintentional.
