- ट्रिवियाA clip from a fictional action movie titled 'McBain' is shown (a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and violent 1980s cop films like the लीथल वेपन (1987) series). Months after this episode was first broadcast, the action movie McBain (1991) was released, starring Christopher Walken as Robert McBain, an ex-soldier who takes on a Colombian dictator.
- गूफ़During the flashback (which is set in 1974), the Van McCoy song "The Hustle" is played. That song was released in 1975.

Marge Simpson: [Marge leaves the dance room and sees Homer sitting on the stairs crying heavily. She walks up to him] Homer?
Homer: [He sniffles and looks up at her] What?
Marge Simpson: [She sits down beside him] Why are you doing this? Why can't you accept that I'm here with someone else?
Homer: [Sniffles; his voice breaks as he talks] Because I'm... sure we were meant to be together. Usually when I have a thought, there's a lot of *other* thoughts in there... some things says, yes, some things says, no... But this time, there's only yes!
[Cries as he talks]
Homer: How can the only thing I've ever been sure about in my life be wrong?
Marge Simpson: [Looks down] Hm... I don't know... But it is.
[Walks away]

This is one of my favourite episodes of the Simpsons.
I think both aspects of the narrative are exceptionally good. It has an excellent nostalgic flashback as two parents tell their love story, plus very funny reactions from the children, whose TV is broken.
The high school romance of Marge and Homer is a highly entertaining story, with brilliant humour and period detail. Even though you know the outcome it still manages to compel. All the supporting characters such as Artie Ziff and the younger versions of Barney Gumble, Patty, Selma, and Abe Simpson are used to great effect.
It has one of the best finishes to an episode as the sentimentality reaches its emotional climax and we have a fantastic reaction from Bart.
For me it's a 9.5/10 but I round upwards.
