Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDeclan Desmond, played by Eric Idle, asks Homer if he can use the "condiment pen" on fish and chips, to which Homer replies, "You can use it to put horseradish on your dead mother for all I care." This is a reference to a Monty Python sketch, in which John Cleese takes his mother to undertakers (Graham Chapman and Eric Idle) who suggest various means of disposing of the body, finally suggesting cannibalism - horseradish is suggested as a seasoning.
- GoofsIn one scene, we see Lisa as a baby, but in the background, there is a photo of Lisa when she is older.
- Quotes
Homer Simpson: All those years I was dreaming of other things, I was actually doing what I really wanted: hanging out with my family, drinking with my friends, making friends with my family and hanging with my drinking.

Featured review
We've got our next Emmy nominee.
Stars: Dan Castellaneta as Homer, Krusty, Barney, Quimby, Grampa, Squeaky Voiced Teen.
Julie Kavner as Marge.
Nancy Cartwright as Bart, Ralph and Nelson.
Hank Azaria as Moe, Wiggum, Carl, Frink, Disco Stu.
Harry Shearer as Mr. Burns, Smithers, Dr. Hibbert, Flanders, Lenny.
Eric Idle as Declan Desmond.
Also with: Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott.
This was a really great episode. It deals with documentary director Declan Desmond making a movie about some elementary school kids every 8 years, now on year 32. We get to see in to Chief Wiggum, Professor Frink, Homer, Lenny (sort of) and Marge's life. Not only is the concept good, but it is executed so perfectly. I laughed out loud several times, probably the most in the last 5 years, and even though it was a pretty silly episode, it still managed to have a really sweet ending. I think that this will be up for the next Emmy's and it probably will win. Best episode since season 9.
My rating: **** out of ****. TV PG D
