Hi all and welcome to another Simpsons Sunday. This week I’m going to talk about flash back episodes. The Simpsons has done a few of those and they piece together the puzzle of how the back-story of some of the characters goes.
For example: And Maggie Makes Three is an episode detailing how Maggie was born and why Homer has his current main job at the nuclear plant. Lisa’s First Word takes a look at Lisa being born and how she began to talk, with her first word being Bart. It also gives us seemingly another look into why they sometimes fight.
The most recent episode The Kids Are All Fight also explores the same thing but 2 years later in each others lives. Like Lisa’s First Word we see Grandma Flanders and her saying “hello Joe”, along with Bart in his scary clown bed. I also laughed out loud when the song The Kids Are Alright by The Who was featured in the episode. When I heard what the name of the episode was I immediately thought of that song. Then again, when The Kid Is Alright I thought of the same song appearing in the episode then too.
For some reason I wasn’t able to purchase it on iTunes until yesterday morning. I was afraid that it would never come out digitally, but I have it and I’m happy.
As for tonights episode, I’m looking forward to it, especially with Bart’s new romantic relationship. It should be a good one. Well that’s about it for this week.
In the mean time, I recommend checking out Chris Ladesma’s blog. He is the Music Editor for The Simpsons and has been since day 1.
