Knowing the rough idea of the plot beforehand, I had higher than normal hopes for this episode. Beyond some promising episodes, I'm thinking of Gone Abie Gone here, season 24 has been a bit of a drag. Changing of the Guardian is no different.
The gist of the episode is that after a minor scrape with death, Homer and Marge realize Bart, Lisa, and Maggie need guardians to take care of them in the event that they both die. This starts a search throughout Springfield for the perfect guardians.
The episode concept for this one intrigued me. Unfortunately, I don't feel the episode delivered on the concept. The highlight of the episode ended up being the beginning. The resolution at the end of Changing of the Guardian is the same one from many episodes of The Simpsons, and those episodes have expressed it better.
