The part of Tom, Bart's sponsored big brother, was originally written for Tom Cruise. However, Cruise's spokesman informed the producers that the star would not do the episode. It was decided to replace Cruise with Phil Hartman providing the voice of Tom. See more »Goofs

The episode begins with Homer forgetting to pick up Bart from soccer practice. That prompts Bart to give up on Homer, he becomes a little brother in a big brother type program to spite Homer. Phil Hartman plays Tom, his impossibly cool big brother.
Generally, I like a lot of Homer/Bart relationship episodes and this one has its moments. There are a lot of very funny sequences that arise as Homer attempts to get even.
The fight in the episode is extremely memorable. It's one I recalled after not seeing this episode for years. This really is a good Homer/Bart episode.
