While I say that about a number of favorite episode from various series this one feels particularly underrated.
Fred doesn't get an expected raise and looks for another job. He nearly choked when he finds out it's to drive a school bus! Must have been stressful even back then. I agree the various stops on the way with the kids and their mothers is particularly funny. It's a rare look at more of Bedrock's population.
Fred's break at a diner for the bus drivers is both funny and a little spooky!
Fred ends up on an extra important errand at the end of his first time letting the kids off. Later Barney shows up at Fred and Wilma's. Fred never picked him up. Meanwhile it seems Fred is leaving kids at the wrong houses and in the middle of the freeway ( accidentally of course) . Everyone shows up at the hospital including Mr Slate to give Fred a dangerous job, Fred " Dangerous? After driving a school bus?!" It's driving a dynamite truck . Fred says he'll take that cinchy job! We then see what Fred was doing. He drove an expectant mother to the hospital where Fred becomes godfather to triplets all girls and all named Fred!
A top ten episode for me.
