The Simpsons


Last night's episode has to be one of my favorites in recent memory. It can be found here for a limited time. Now apparently this episode first aired back on Jan. 27 this year, but obviously I didn't catch that. It's not on the Fox website right now but maybe soon. The Bart and Lisa bring up the fact that Marge and Homer are close to forty yet always say they had Bart right out of high school yet he's only ten. So Homer and Marge tell a little story about the nineties, it has Homer going from Boys II Men to Kurt Cobain, Marge with a Rachel hair cut while they live in a Melrose Place style apartment complex. There are cameos from Weird Al and Kurt Loder. I loved their jab at the current President Bush when they proclaim there can never be a worse president than one that would lie in a deposition in a civil case, never. While it totally ruins the continuity of The Simpson's universe and fails to even stay true to the nineties timeline.
