Summary: Lisa has the blues and Bart and Homer play a boxing video game.
References to Time:
- Bart implies Homer is at least 30 years old
- Lunch is at 12:00 in Springfield Elementary
- Bart has beaten Homer 48 times at Super Slugfest at the beginning of the episode
- Maggie walks
- Marge remembers how her mother approached her sadness when she was Lisa's age
- Saddest day of Homer's life was when he realized he could beat his dad at most things (Bart experienced this at the age of 4)
- Lisa's the saddest kid in grade #2
- Lisa has band practice...in addition to music class? Band practice for Saturdays, I'm assuming
- The kid in the arcade has had over 2000 fights and is still on his original quarter
- Homer appears to have gone through all his quarters at the arcade before Lisa arrives at band practice. Maybe some scenes were shifted for better dramatic tension. Maybe they happened simultaneously.
References to Other Episodes: None
SLH Presence:
- SLH is not present
- Lisa meets Bleeding Gums Murphy
- Bart prank calls Moe
- Moe's TV is color
Minimum Time Spanned: 2 days (most likely Friday & Saturday)
Canon: All canon
Favorite Moment: Bleeding Gums Murphy's song "I Never Had an Italian Suit Blues" and his quote, "The blues isn't about feelin' better. It's about making other people feel worse. And makin' a few bucks while you're at it."
Review: Nice first big Lisa episode. Not the greatest, but not the worst. Very average when compared to the big Lisa episodes that will follow. B
