![]() The episode is a commentary on The Simpsons' audience at the time and its inability to accept change, but the episode 'The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show' did the same thing more successfully. But the execution of this episode is actually very good: it features a number of great jokes, even if the plot is hard to swallow. This is a wild story, and it's extremely controversial among fans for the way it retcons the Skinner character. Our Skinner, it turns out, is really a former bad boy called Armin Tanzarian. This episode features the revelation that Principal Seymour Skinner is, in fact, an impostor, when the real Skinner returns from a POW camp long after the Vietnam War. A lot of people point towards The Simpsons episode 'The Principal and the Pauper' as a 'jump the shark' moment.
