Episode Summary

A new student in Mr. Garrison's class has a problem; he is handicapped and can only say his name. The faculty believes that Timmy has ADD, which means he doesn't have to do any homework. Everyone in the class soon manages to get diagnosed with ADD so that they don't have to do any homework either. A side effect from the drug is the complacency that will let them sit through an entire Phil Collins concert.

    Timmy is diagnosed with ADD, and when the other kids hear he does not have to do homework because of this, they all fool a doctor and are mistakenly diagnosed with ADD Too. Timmy forms a band with a couple older kids, but Phil Collins objects because he thinks people are making fun of Timmy. Can anyone set this straight?

    I think it was pretty good. Timmy is a hilarious character and this episode was of course, very funny. My final grade for this episode is an A+. Not the best episode ever or anything, just a really good story.moreless

    Why does everyone love Timmy. Can someone tell me what they like about him other then the fact that he's handicapped and can only say his name. I don't like him, he's such a dull character. Jimmy is boring too but at least he has a personality. I didn't like this episode cause it was mostly about Timmy and I don't like his character, just like I don't like Towlie either. Whyyy does everyone like them?moreless

  • Finally, an episode focused on Timmy.

    "Superb"
    As it says in the very short summary, finally, and episode focused on a very special person, Timmy! Timmy is a hilarious character. Even that he has a mental illness, it is very funny that all he says is Timmy! I think that Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Kenny McCormick, and Stan Marsh were not shown enough in this episode. They should have played him more. Very great episode. The band thing was very weird that he would be in a band. Timmy would be a great singer, and he was a great singer. Overall, I give this very special episode a 9.moreless

    "Superb"
    This is one of the most groundbreaking eps and probably the most so of season 4. Timmy is introduced for the first time and he happens to be oen hell of a rockin and rollin singer. The Lords of The Underworld are looking for somethign to improve their band and they find Timmy and the band takes off. But is Timmy getting too much of the fame? Meanwhile, all of the kids are pretending to have ADD so that they can get out of homework! I mean, Ritalin doesn't have nay side affects right? So why not take it? You'll see if you watch the ep.moreless

    Though how I adore Timmy and his name (TIMMY!) I think that sometimes the plots based around him and his handicapped life are a bit boring and this one is pretty lame itself. A new kid in class (Timmy's first appearence) causes a disruption when they learn that he doesn't have to do any homework. The children get pissed off and decide to get diagnosed with the syndrome he has himself, and that means they do not have to do any really boring homework for their irritating gay teacher Mr. Garrison.
    :( Why is this such a bad episode? Make it better!moreless
