I Wanna Be Suspended is the 3rd episode of season one of the television sitcom Grounded for Life. It first aired on Wednesday January 24, 2001 on FOX.
Plot
Jimmy's science project, a model of the solar system, is due and he's eager to get back from the street fair to finish it. However, when Sean and Claudia find out The Ramones are playing, Jimmys science project is forced to wait. Sean decides to write a note to Jimmy's principal, Sister Helen, to explain that he felt it was more important for Jimmy to attend the concert than to finish his science project. The note only ends up getting Jimmy suspended. To make it up to him, Sean and Eddie take Jimmy to the Statue of Liberty, again with disastrous results.
The episode's title is a reference to the song "I wanna be sedated" by The Ramones.
