> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > The production code was 3F13 but it was actually the sixteenth episode of the seventh season and first broadcast in 1996, just over 13 years ago. Exactly. The production codes started with 7G, then went to 7F, 8F, 9F, 1F, etc. skipping over 6F and going to AABF, BABF, and so on. Bonjourrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, ya cheese-eatin’ surrender monkeys! ---

I came in to say what **Cazzle** said, but it looks like everything’s copacetic already. I vicariously resent the implication that Lisa uses big words to impress people. Lisa, like me, has a big vocabulary because she reads a lot. ---

The couch gag for “Homer’s Paternity Coot” (original air date 1/8/2006) shows a series of photos of the Simpsons family in the future. The 2008 pic has no Homer and Marge in a mourning outfit. (And 2009 has her married to Lenny, so they better get on that.) ---
