'Scuse Me While Miss the Sky
It's a case of Idle, not "Idol," mania. Eric Idle plays pompous documentarian Declan Desmond, who's filming "A Day in the Life of Springfield Elementary." Lisa may be its best pupil, but Declan declares that her diverse interests show a lack of focus and make her a "buffet-style intellectual." That criticism prompts Lisa to embrace astronomy as a career path. But when Springfield's night lights prevent her from gazing at the sky, Lisa successfully lobbies to have them dimmed. However, a resulting crime wave spawns a public backlash that Mayor Quimby quells by restoring even brighter illumination — making a decent night's sleep a dim memory for the increasingly neurotic townspeople.
