"Double, Double, Boy in Trouble" When Lenny wins the lottery and invites the Simpson family to a celebratory party at a posh hotel, Bart meets his doppelganger, Simon Woosterfield, who happens to be a member of the richest family in Springfield. Simon and Bart decide to switch places, and Bart arrives at the lavish Woosterfield mansion only to find football great Joe Montana hanging around the estate. As Simon adjusts to the simple life over at the Simpson household, Bart begins to notice his wealthy new siblings acting strangely toward him. With some frightening words of wisdom from Mr. Burns, Bart realizes his new siblings are plotting his demise so they can inherit the Woosterfield family fortune all for themselves. Lisa and Simon must reach Bart before he goes from riches to ditches. Originally Aired: October 19, 2008

It had its moments, but it was more run of the mill than anything else. I was quite a fan of the Burns material, although faux Bart's family didn't do anything for me.

I would like to have seen a lot more of Simon in the Simpson's house.

I was wondering when we would get to see Simon's father.

Pretty good episode though.

"Thanks, Future Bart, for coming back in time to tell us!"

@ sight gag with Marge's one drop of alcohol ensuring Bart's destiny as a hellraiser.

I thought this could have been a two-parter. They could have kept the gag going a bit longer. Funny episode, though. The Burn's gags cracked me up.

I thought this was a good episode -

The animation kind of changed mid way through the episode. Kind of like they had some material left over from the movie (when they were in Vail) The charachters looked less cartoons.
