   As modern family-history episodes go, this was good. You just have to excuse   
   all the inconsistencies with every other family-history episode. It's got the   
   spark of the classic antisocial tone (if a little lighter and softer), and it   
   was cute to see this    
   version of the town's inhabitants. As it covers the origin of Bart and Lisa,   
   it certainly reminds me of the season 3 and 4 episodes (and season 6's "And   
   Maggie Makes Three"), which it doesn't entirely stack up to but it also   
   doesn't pale in comparison    
   either.   
      
   The opening sequence is a direct parody of Bill Plympton's "Your Face", which   
   I mention because it's one I actually know already!   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the episode is rated TV-14-DLSV?   
   ...the family's reasons to sit through movie credits have changed along with   
   the nation's in the decade since The Movie?   
   ...Homer claims the reason to stay through the credits in his day was to see   
   who sang "The Power of Love" (and it was usually Huey Lewis), although if he   
   is referring to its debut in Back to the Future, that was actually mentioned   
   in the opening credits?   
   ...Marge's past still manages to include some form of journalism profession?
