The Simpsons - 4x10 - Lisa's First Word

    In this flashback episode, we see Bart living with Marge and Homer, Marge's pregnancy, and Bart having difficulty with having a younger sister, all set against the 80s.
    This episode is just about perfect.  I have one minor reservation, which is the repeated audio loops when Bart is worrying about his bed and Grandma Flanders.
    I love some of the deliveries, particularly the stereotypical voices at the beginning of the flashback, talking about MASH and "Youse guys wanna play stickball?"  And the performance of Bart banging the pots and pans and singing "I am so great" is so spot-on that it's scary.
