The “Woo-Hoo Dunnit?” episode skipped the usual storytelling style with a documentary lens turned on the family. "Smartly conceived, tightly plotted, exceptionally acted by all, and, most importantly, true to the characters even as they’re thrown outside their comfort zone, it’s one of those late-run Simpsons episode that nurtures something like hope," says Dennis Perkins. "It’s terrific."

I have been watching The Simpsons since the first season and to me, it was one of the best episodes as well as the most unusual. The episode looked like a spoof of Dateline NBC.
