Was this episode Classic Simpsons, Transitional Simpsons, or NuSimpsons?

Seriously?

Classic Simpsons. Just one of the poorer episodes. Still entertaining, but more making fun of the show's own quirks than commenting on life outside the show.

It was the episode that made Simpsons unsustainable.

Reminder that Frank Grimes did nothing wrong.

Ok that's fair.
And yet I still don't see a problem with it.

Because Frank Grimes is an audience surrogate. "Normal", complains about plot things and inconsistencies and his idea for an evil plan is a minor annoyance he blows out of proportion.

Weird episode. Homer doing retarded shit and everyone praises him. Then Frank finally turns insane and dies. Everyone at his funeral laughs.

What was the message?

It's not real. Don't take it (and yourself) so seriously.

>Actually trying to bait

It's one of if not the only postmodern episode of The Simpsons. It took The Simpsons universe, examined it, and criticized it while staying within the confines of the universe itself.
