    • Trivia
      The Krusty Burger Olympic promotion mirrors a marketing stunt that backfired on McDonalds in the 1984. The Soviet Union and East Germany boycotted the games, resulting in the United States winning more gold medals than expected, and McDonalds lost millions giving away free food honoring the promotion.
    • Goofs
      Krusty is clearly seen reading a fax about the Russians dropping out of the Olympics , but in "Krusty Gets Busted" it is clearly stated that he can't read.
    • Quotes

      Marge: Oh Maggie, when are you going to talk?

      Lisa Simpson: Well, don't push her. Remember, it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

      Homer: [thinking] What does that mean? Better say something or they'll think you're stupid.

      [outloud]

      Homer: Takes one to know one.

      [thinking]

      Homer: Swish!

    Another Memorable Flashback!
    This is the tenth episode of the fourth season of the Simpsons, and it's a good one based off sentimental flashbacks. In the four seasons so far, this is the third flashback episode based off Marge and Homer's history. But this is more modern history featuring a two-year-old Bart and a newborn Lisa. The episode also features an emotional moment, which is helped in a voice cameo by Elizabeth Taylor.

    In this episode, "Lisa's First Word," the Simpsons are trying to coerce Maggie into saying her first word, but she is being very stubborn. Homer and Marge decide to tell their children the story of how Lisa said her first word and how Bart was extremely jealous of Lisa when she was born.

    Overall, this is an excellent episode because of its historical nature. I have a soft spot for these kind of episodes as we truly learn about the Simpsons from viewing their past. It's a sentimental, but funny episode. That last scene though......I rate this episode 9/10.
