 Welcome to Argonaut Online
Burns is featured in three episodes (“Rosebud,” “$pringfield” and “Burns’ Heir”), and Apu is central in the brilliant “Homer and Apu,” which includes the Grammy-nominated song “Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart.” Until season five, many of these characters were just side notes.
The only truly lame episode is “Homer Goes to College,” written by Conan O’Brian.
For the most part, though, its plot and jokes are a weak parody of the (much better) “Animal House,” and the ending is forced.
