    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The origins of the episode come from a conversation between Jane O'Brien and Mike Scully, when the two were talking about how girls always want to grow up so fast, as Scully has five daughters; so they decided to produce an episode with a storyline based on this.
    • Goofs
      Homer puts three barrels on each side of his car to funnel grease into, but during the interior shots of the car no barrels are visible outside the car.
    • Quotes

      Homer Simpson: Okay, boy. This is where all the hard work, sacrifice, and painful scaldings pay off.

      Employee: Four pounds of grease... that comes to... sixty-three cents.

      Homer Simpson: Woo-hoo!

      Bart Simpson: Dad, all that bacon cost twenty-seven dollars.

      Homer Simpson: Yeah, but your mom paid for that!

      Bart Simpson: But doesn't she get her money from you?

      Homer Simpson: And I get my money from grease! What's the problem?

    A Lot of Lard
    Not a great episode in my opinion,if anything just average. It did have it's odd funny moment like the boys on one side of the dance floor and girls on the other, (been there, done that), but the grease sub plot was pretty lame.
    It's only the first episode in the 10th Season, so hopefully it will pick up in the remaining 22 episodes.
