<P> The season started off with `` Homer 's Barbershop Quartet '' which was chosen as the season premiere because it guest starred George Harrison . The Fox executives had wanted to premiere with `` Homer Goes to College '' because it was a National Lampoon 's Animal House parody , but the writers felt `` Homer 's Barbershop Quartet '' would be a better episode because of Harrison 's involvement . Even though the episode aired during the beginning of the fifth season , `` Cape Feare '' was the last episode written by the original team of writers and guest starred Kelsey Grammer as Sideshow Bob . Compared to previously produced episodes , the episode featured several elements that could be described as cartoonish . This was a result of the staff 's careless attitude towards the end of season four as the majority of them were leaving which , combined with the shortness of the episode , led to the creation of the rake sequence , became a memorable moment for this episode . `` Cape Feare '' and `` Rosebud '' were both broadcast early in the season and are amongst the series ' most acclaimed episodes , both having placed highly on Entertainment Weekly 's list of the top 25 episodes . The episode `` Deep Space Homer '' was the only episode to be written by David Mirkin and was controversial amongst the show 's writing staff when the episode was in production . Some of the writers felt that having Homer go into space was too `` large '' of an idea . Matt Groening felt that the idea was so big that it gave the writers `` nowhere to go '' . As a result , every aspect of the show was worked on to make the concept work . The writers focused more upon the relationship between Homer and his family and Homer 's attempts to be a hero . `` Sweet Seymour Skinner 's Baadasssss Song '' was the series ' 100th episode . It was chosen because it heavily featured Bart and was promoted as `` Bart 's biggest prank ever , '' even though Bart did not actually pull any pranks in the episode ; rather , Bart accidentally let his dog loose , eventually resulting in Principal Skinner 's firing . Cletus Spuckler and the Rich Texan were the only recurring characters to be introduced this season , first appearing in `` Bart Gets an Elephant '' , and `` $ pringfield '' respectively . Other minor characters who first appeared this season were Luigi and Baby Gerald . Two more episodes , `` Bart of Darkness '' and `` Lisa 's Rival '' were produced as part of the season five ( 1F ) production run , but both aired the following season . </P>
