A fantastic episode that never gets the praise it deserves. The whole episode looks great, there a lot of good uses of shadows. It may not be particularly funny and not very "Simpson-y" in a way, but it has an intriguing story that's great from start to finish. A great exploration of Grampa and Bart's relationship and showing how Grampa wasn't always a pathetic old coot. Since humour isn't the strong point at the moment, I'd love to see an episode like this this season.
A true hidden gem.
