“do you want to know how I got these(emotional)scars?”
Even back in the days when there could still be continuity, the moon landing age was wrong. And it stood out as wrong.
I noticed because at the start of the show I was about Homer’s age, so when they had experiences for him they were about right for me. And I was not a teenager in July 1969. At the time, I thought it was an outright error rather than a wink-wink joke about lack of continuity, because as the show ages, Homer should be younger rather than older.
I hadn’t thought of that but it makes me weirdly happy. My child is now older than Bart in that timeline and yet when the family first came on tv (yes I watched original Tracey Ullman airings at that time), I was just barely older than Bart myself.
Jeebus, some day kid’s kids will be older than Bart and the show will still be on…
I just rewatched the moon landing scene, and it doesn’t seem terribly obvious that Homer is a teenager. He could be 12, which would put him at 17 in 1974 when he was a senior in high school.
Anti-Comic Book Guy? Is that like Evil Cartman, who is a genuinely nice guy?
His name would be Albert Jeffson, of course.
I like “Saddlesore Galactica” (the one with Duncan the horse and the elf jockeys) and
“The Principal and the Pauper” (Armin Tamzarian) episodes. All I care about is if they’re funny, people who got bothered by continuity or fantasy plots need to calm down.
Nelson: “Hail HYDRA-HA”
I have no comment to make about the octuplets lapping Maggie in aging, but don’t multiple birth pregnancies usually end a few weeks before the 40 week point?
I decided a long time ago that different seasons are set in different dimensions, thus the different continuities.
