Lisa’s rival was Winona Ryder. She “stole the show,” as they put it on the commentary track. 😉

1. What was Jebediah Springfield’s real name?

2. In the Cape Feare episode, when the Simpsons are driving to their new houseboat what song are they listening to, and who sang it?

\*\* Incidentally, how the heck do you guys know in-depth trivia from seasons that haven’t been released on DVD yet? I think I know seasons 1-7 pretty well, but after that it’s just sporadic. Do you tape episodes and rewatch them, or do you guys just have much better memories than I do?
