I was seriously digging the 24 format of the first half hour. It was fantastic in the way it was done, and Kiefer Sutherland was very good in his Bauer cameo. I wish they had it go the entire hour, in the real 24 format, which I actually thought was the plan, but even the half hour was very impressive.
Homer and Milhouse in the dumpster had me cracking up, as did Martin in his 'mole' role, the bullies playing the role of the terrorists, Lisa as a quasi-Chloe, the big red cancel button on top of the stink bomb, Jack cringing as the nuclear bomb went off, after diverting all resources to get Bart for his prank call, it was all great.
My one question though, they were trying to stop the smoke bomb to save the Bake Sale, didn't they kind of ruin it anyways with the hot dog water flooding?
Either way, this was probably one of the best Simpsons episodes I've ever seen, right up there with 'Behind the Laughter' and 'The Computer Wore Menace Shoes'.
I'm going to completely gloss over the second half hour, because the first 30 minutes completely overshadowed it in my mind, but I will say that they really kept that 24 vibe going with Marge's sprint back to the house didn't they?
