Both episodes were pretty funny.
The second episode ends with a somewhat touching sendoff to Mrs. Krabappel.

I guess it was a recycled scene or one that was cut from a previous episode... any scene would have worked.
But I thought the Diggs episode was kind of depressing, and the 2nd episode just kind of ended abruptly.

Didn't they have a chalkboard scene, close after she passed away? I did like the quiet ending of the 2nd episode with a character acknowledging it.
The first episode was decent.. Did not like the couch gag bit at the beginning. Too long and not very good at all.

Well, shee-it! I missed the first one. I didn't turn it on until 7:00. I thought it was okay.

I really liked the first episode, it was a change of pace for a Bart episode. Lisa would usually get that type of friend. It was a nice farewell for Mrs. Krabappel, I can't believe another long-time character is now gone.
I wonder if they have ever thought of permanently adding new supporting characters? Will Mrs. Hoover now be Bart's teacher?

I thought both the episodes were good too. I do agree that the first episode felt like a storyline that would usually go with Lisa more than Bart but it was a nice change up and I overall thought it was a good episode.
I also liked the second episode and enjoy seeing Sideshow Bob popping up as he's always a favorite character. I liked that we got a tasteful sendoff for Mrs. Krabappel too. I know it's not anything the actress could control but poor Flanders can't catch with losing two wives now. I wonder if the show will address her death beyond that short scene or not.
