The part of this episode that really got my attention, besides the part that Ned has FINALLY hit Homer because his nerve, its the story of the new character: Ms. Cantwell. Many schools have one of this kind of teachers, who bullies the students; and It's already awful that the kids are bullying between them! This woman has been a jerk, cruel, mean, disgusting... All the words I can write in here without using the 'b', 'w' and 'f' words. Even tho this character seem to be gone for good, I wouldn't mind to see her back again with an episode about bullying or maybe about her getting a serious punishment for her actions.

Two Mediocre Side Stories,
lesleyharris302 December 2013
Black Eyed,Please is a decent Simpsons episode with an average story and side story that both just felt like side stories,they both seemed like good ideas but they didn't follow through with them all that well.Lisa having a substitute teacher that hates her definitely could have been so much more enjoyable and they could have giving a comedy star as big as Tina Fey some funny dialogue,also Ned punching Homer would have worked out better as a side story and could have been more enjoyable that way.The episode definitely has its moments,mainly anything Homer says in this episode is hilarious,but Black Eyed Please is certainly one of the weakest episodes of the twenty fourth season.
Flanders is riddled with guilt after punching Homer,and Lisa gets on the wrong side of her substitute teacher.

The couch segment for Black-Eyed, Please was animated by Bill Plympton in a film noir style that was quite surreal and bold for The Simpsons.
Anyway, here Tina Fey voices a "permanent substitute teacher" who absolutely hates Lisa Simpson. We learn at the end it's because it's because Lisa is beautiful and Lisa is thrilled by that for sure.
Richard Dawkins has a lame cameo as the devil version of himself, for which I'm deducting two stars in my rating really.
Anyway, this episode is okay, but it's not something I would write home about. I was kind of hoping Poochie would make a cameo appearance.

Lisa somehow finds a teacher that does not like her and this new substitute teacher is voiced by non other then funny girl Tina Fey. The opening animation to the episode was very inventive and creative and I loved it very much. Back to the episode where Ned Flanders got violent with Homer punching him twice which was really out of character for him. Seeing Ned's parents be completely different was also funny how they are hippies compared to him being such a religious man. Back to Lisa and her bully teacher who was done so well by Tina it took me till the end of the episode to figure out it was her when she said that Lisa was pretty with her pearls.
EPISODE GRADE: B+ (MVP: Tina Fey)

It's like if the movie "Schindler's List" ended with the words: Hitler was perfectly right.

I have seen worse things in my life and also things that annoy me a lot more but something about this episode has gone so wrong that I just miss the words.
Honestly I do not like Lisa Simpson back then she was still one of my favorite characters but after the episode where she became a vegetarian I lost her less and less and after becoming a Buddhist I simply despised her character.
It has nothing to do with discrimination or religion. It has to be done. I just despise its character because of what it represents, and for that very reason I was very fond of the idea that Lisa was bullied. it's a good episode and a good idea because it finally addresses a topic that concerns us all and that above all, somebody really has to understand it and still problems were the positive aspects and the message so good that I wanted to applaud the creators because There was another episode in the bad Simpsons Eva about which I can say a lot of positives. But the end ruined everything that killed the series for me and mutilated the corpse.
Lisa just never gets down to earth and this episode has further strengthened her ego and just turned the full statement 180 °.
It was the worst end that could have given such a consequence and I was so excited that at this moment I was so happy to live alone because not much was missing to beat wildly around me.
It is as if the film Schindler's list ended with the words: Hitler was perfectly right.
