Last Exit to Springfield

“Hey, kids! Who do you love?”
“KRUSTY!”
“How much do you love me?”
“WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!”
“What would you do if I went off the air?”
“WE’D KILL OURSELVES!”

  • Krusty Gets Busted, where Sideshow Bob has some big shoes to fill.

Mr. Burns: If only we’d listened to that boy, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven.

And also:

I prefer the personal touch you only get with hired goons.

Based on this thread, and how season 4 has so many of my favorite episodes, I bought the season on Amazon. Thanks!

I watch both LEtS and Krusty Gets Kancelled last night, because of this thread. I see the season also has Selma’s Choice, another classic! That one tonight.

“I am the lizard QUEEN!”

It was a great show. Those first five years were some of the best TV ever made and subversive in its day.

And that’s the tooth!

Whoops, I left the gas on.

Also good, but sadly maligned, Saddlesore Galactica and the Principal and the Pauper!

An yes, i’m serious, I love those eps.

I agree. On a slight tangent, Season 5 has an amazing number of great episodes.

Not to derail the thread, but the Homer/Giant hoagie sequence in “Selma’s Choice” kills me everytime.

I’d like to be alone with the sandwhich.

Are you going to eat it?

Two more feet, and I can fit it in the fridge.

I still wonder what were the “original” third and fourth lines to Lisa’s song. The lines, “We’ll fight 'til we drop, the girls and the fellas / We’ll march to the death or else fold like umbrealls,” do not match Lisa’s lip movements.

And in the 25 years since then, I can’t remember any subsequent reference to Lisa’s braces don’t even think about replying "Dental Plan"

Perhaps all those episodes take place before “Last Exit to Springfield”? I.e., it is set sometime late in the Eternal Year in the Simpsons Universe.

I thought she got invisible braces at the end of the episode once Homer’s dental plan was reinstated. Maybe she STILL has the braces after 25 years.

You have to wear braces for at least a year, and Lisa is still the same age, 25 years later. So they are still on her teeth. Straightening.

She probably had them off sometime before she became President, though.

I assume her braces are never referenced again because of a court decree, similar to the end of The Principal and the Pauper.

And yet, Lisa did mention it again only 7 years later.
