Season 2 is off to a compelling start, as Josh Fein and I sit down to discuss "Bart Gets an F," which originally aired in the US on October 11, 1990. This heartwarming episode came on the heels of a summer hiatus in which "Bartmania" had taken American kids by storm - and everybody wanted to either "be" Bart Simpson, or wear him on a t-shirt. Josh and I recall this pop culture powder keg as best we can. And it also gives us an opportunity to reminisce about our own scholastic adventures in underachieving. Neither of us were ever so pretentious as to deliver a book report in as pretentious a fashion as Martin does here. But only one of us had to actually resort to crime in order to pass high school chemistry. If you want to know more, by all means jump right in. TRIGGER WARNING: Bill Cosby is mentioned more than once in this episode. We don't discuss the particulars of his downfall. But his name is uttered. His voice is heard; and the theme song for his popular sitcom plays, briefly. You have been warned.
