    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Christina Ricci was not able to come to the recording studio, so she recorded all of her lines over the phone. Josh Weinstein, who was a fan of Ricci, thought she did a nice performance in the episode.
    • Goofs
      When Lisa is talking to the other kids under the pier, her sunglasses disappear between shots (right after she says "like, you know, whatever").
    • Quotes

      Erin: Hey, I like your hat.

      Lisa: [thinking] A compliment! Scanning for sarcasm... it's clean! Go!

    • Alternate versions
      Syndication cuts the family's "scrod bucket/crud bucket" dialogue en route to the beach house, and the scene where Marge discovers "fill me...with water" post-its in the freezer on the ice cube trays.

    Poindexter
    The Simpsons spend time at Ned Flanders' beach house.

    This is a very strong Lisa episode with good humour and character moments.

    Lisa has a nice little arc in this story of her desperation for friendship and Bart is used well by the writers as her main antagonist. It feels like an affectionate tribute to those childhood summer vacations where children have to make new friends.

    For me the humour is consistently strong, with Homer having some exceptionally funny moments that standout. I also love the outrageously disengaged attitudes of the new friends they make.

    For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
