The family takes a trip down memory lane to see the origins of how Bart and Lisa first started fighting with each other.
Flashback episode eh? I watched the promos for this episode earlier, and as per usual, I was less than unimpressed.
In one of the promos Homer seems to hire Grandma Flanders as a babysitter, and she is remarkably more with it than when we were first graced with her presence during “Lisa’s First Word”. I am now going to go watch that episode to wash the promos out of my eyes.

So, what, sibling fighting is a thing that needs to be explained?
Well, they did explain Flaming Moe, didn’t they?
RIP Simpsons 1989-2000
It has no pulse and it just won’t fucking die.
It’s an abomination.
Remember when they said “Have no fears, we’ve go stories for years!”? Now, I don’t think they were trying to be funny, I think they were making a threat.
HOLY fuck!! You’re alive?!?
14 years ago I was translating your “Maggie & Eric Generations” thing into Russian. No proof of it remains.
Yep and Stan said it best as well.
Another prophetic line of dialogue are the two from the Threehouse of Horror story where the Simpsons get a monkey’s paw.
(When The Simpsons enter The Guilded Truffle)
Woman #1: If I hear another thing about The Simpsons, I swear I’m going to scream.
Woman #2: At first they were cute and funny. Now they’re just annoying
(Later, when Kang and Kodos enslave humanity)
Woman #3: This is all The Simpsons’ fault.
Man: At first I was just bored with their antics. Now, I want them dead!
Wow.
I was referencing the DHS manifesto btw.
Bart started fighting with Lisa from the very first time he saw her….because he was jealous of her.
This show outdoes itself with horrible titles.
This one looks to be an affront to “Lisa’s First Word” the same way that “The Way We Weren’t” was an affront to “The Way We Was” and the way “That ’90s Show” was an affront to both “I Married Marge” and “Homer’s Barbershop Quartet.”
I wonder how the writers plan to desecrate “And Maggie Makes Three.”
I don’t think writers is the correct word here
“Homer’s Barbershop Quartet” had continuity issues as well, like “Wouldn’t Bart be five and Lisa be three in 1985, because they look roughly the same age here?” and the brief shot of Santa’s Little Helper burying the makeshift Homer robot head, despite that SLH wouldn’t be adopted until 1989.
Then again, those are minor, compared to the later episodes.
Maybe its like the cat, they had a greyhound that looks just like SLH, it died, then they killed several other dogs in a short period of time until coincidentally getting an identical dog.
They would have had an episode about, whether or not it was a ZS episode.
But “Barbershop Quartet” admited it at the end of the episode, when Lisa and Bart start asking questions to Homer about what happened after they disbanded. And several episodes later, in “Homer Loves Flanders”, they also made jokes at the continuity of the show and the wackiness of the (back then) later seasons. Zombie Simpsons would never do something similar.
Well said and yep.
They’ve already came out with two different reasons why Maggie is named “Maggie” this season…
1. Because Bart named her.
2. Because Homer said “Yelling ‘Maggie’ sounds interesting when she’s lost”.
Now, I know continuity is a bitch for ZS, but this seems like the writers are so bored with their own creation, they forgot they already made reason #1 and then made reason #2 for tonight’s ep.
What’s the real story? Didn’t Marge name Maggie because Homer was too miserable about having to return to work at the nuclear plant to care that Marge was in labor (cf. the sarcastic way he says, “Oh, it’s magical. It’s wonderful. We have another mouth to feed!”)
The Simpsons ate midgets!!! Like that Family Guy episode where everyone is 5 years old.
…They ate midgets? So the Simpsons are cannibals now? My god, could this show sink any lower?!
It took me way too long to realize that “ate” was a typo. (It WAS a typo, right? I can’t be sure with Zombie Simpsons.)
*sigh*
-Someone reading Stan’s comments
Lol ARE midgets I meant guys ^_^
And by that I mean the kids are younger.
Noooo! Don’t desecrate Grandma Flanders! How many classic one-scene characters do we need to see destroyed? Get ready for a return appearence by Pepito, the Biggest Cat in the Whole Wide World!
Yeah, where’s that guy btw? I haven’t seen him here in ages.
They really did ruin Grandma Flanders here. She’s nowhere near as scary or crazy.
These episode titles continue to be the worst kind of stretched wordplay.
I long for the days when viewers didn’t know that there were episode titles (except for “Bart Gets Hit by a Car”).
And the Tree House of Horror episodes…
And the Simpsons Christmas episode where Homer has to work as a mall Santa and Bart gets the Mother tattoo. Only it was called The Simpsons Christmas Special, not Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.
“That’s where I used to grow my weed” – Marge Simpson, 2015
Guys, guys! You don’t understand. It’s another excuse to “mock” the early 2000s. Because nothing can be as fun as creating alternative history for the period the show was already dead in.
Actually, make that late 2000s… Fuck, sometimes I just can’t believe how long this shit has been lasting overall. Also, I’m pretty sure they slid in a joke about the first iPhone or something.
When they make “That 00’s Show”, Homer will have met Marge during 9/11, was in a boy band and invented the myPhone.
I think we’re past that point. Next one will be “That 10’s Show”.
They didn’t.
Seems they made the past a vague “early 90s” in this episode.
Look at Bart’s “sad” expression. Now Lisa’s. Then Marge. Identical. Aside from the writing, there’s no subtlety in the artwork as there used to be.
Where have you been? The Simpsons’ art has been in the dumper since season 14, though Matt Groening has pretty much called a moratorium on goofy, off-model art since season 6. Now it’s about as stiff and boring as his Life in Hell comics.
Actually, realistically speaking, it’s very well drawn. Just as Family Guy. Now, how “cartoon-y” must it get is another question.
Like, for me, it wouldn’t have been the problem were the show funny like in the 90ies. But that’s me.
No, not really. It just looks lazy and bland.
… They’re supposed to look sad?
That was so awful my IBS came back.
So I watched it. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?
Two jokes: The Jinx 2 and the social services guy. Everything else is ass garbage.
