7-11 is having the Simpsons Global Fanfest trivia game, it consists of lottery type scratch off cards. I stopped in for gas this morning and asked the guy about it and he gave me a stack of cards. I was able to answer almost all of them but two I am not sure enough of and I dont want to risk loosing the grand prize, a trip to LA for the global fanfest. I already mucked one of them up. But I have also won a Slurpee, a cafe’/frut cooler, two Big Gulps and three Bakery Stix. The one I mucked up was, “What was maggies first word? Homer, Daddy or Mommy” I swear it was Homer but they say it was Daddy. OK so there right, I was thinking of the episode where the baby Lisa was running around saying, “Homer”.
OK back to the trivia,
What is Marge’s name short for? A. Margaret B. Margot C. Marjorie
In the weekly opening sequence how many times does the uranium rod bounce before it lands in Homer’s collar?
A. Once B. Twice C. Thrice
I think the second one is B but I’m not sure. I knew I could count on the fellow SD simpsons maniacs. Thanks!
Whammo: it was indeed “Daddy”. Bart and Lisa both refused to call him daddy; they opted for ‘Homer’ instead. Maggie said “Daddy”, which was a sweet touch. and it was liz taylor behind the pantyhose.
I am pretty sure it’s 2 bounces. Why don’t you just wait until you watch a Simpsons to figure it out for sure? I have a bunch on tape and will check it out tonight.
If you wanna get nit-pickey about it, Maggie’s first word was “Bart”. She belched it to Homer when he was trying to remember what he had to do (pick up Bart from soccer practice.)
I love the Simpsons. Here in Baltimore, we can watch it 3 times a day, all in a row! (Wheeee!) I knew both answers above, but something I have always wondered is this: Watch the opening credits. After Bart swerves past the Uranium Rod, he skates down a sidewalk, weaving around Springfieldians- Bleeding Gums Murphy, Chief Wiggum, etc. He also skates past Apu Nahasapemapedalon. ( YOU spell it! ) Apu is walking a small dog. I never saw this dog again. Am I forgetting an episode with the dog?

Did anyone else notice that they changed the opening way way back? I remember in the early days, instead of having Bart skate through all the minor characters, he grabbed either a bus stop sign or a stop sign and skated off with it. I distinctly remember a shock the first time I saw the new version, though I can see why they changed it. Anyone else remember that?

Yes, there used to be different opening, and Maggie’s first word was “Daddy” not “Bart” as MOUTHBREAKER would have you believe. She said “DADDY” a good 2 or 3 seasons before she said “Bart”.
As to the OP, IIRC, after a whole show of Homer trying to get Maggie to say daddy without success, he kissed her good-night and left the room. In the darkness, just before the credits, Maggie does indeed say “daddy”. Unfortunatley, while all the rest of the world was privy to this moment, Homer never heard it.
Or I could be wrong, that’s just the way my remaining brain cells recall it.
