Sorry for the late thread post. I didn't realize it was a new episode until it was airing

From The Simpsons Archive

The Color Yellow
Episode #MABF06

Lisa uncovers the diary of Eliza Simpson and the story of how, as a member of the Underground Railroad, she and her family helped a slave escape to freedom...and when has the fact that none of her friends believe her stopped Lisa from getting to the truth?

"Adam and Eve Simpson or, as you know them, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg"

The two librarians hooking up at the Christmas party.

The Black History month assembly with "three more Jackie Robinsons" and all the Obamas.

Bart being cool, Lisa's smooth jazz and Homer earning less than his white co-workers.

Homer using the fact that Marge is French is why he drinks so much.

And best of all, "You can march to Selma and tell her she's ugly!"

Lots of good stuff in this episode, and even if did remind me of the episode some years back in which Lisa found out that all Simpson women are successful, I still enjoyed it.

I was wondering if that would be brought up, that Lisa previously found that the Simpson women were successful.

Did you notice in their attic how many items in storage were from previous episodes?

I noticed, they also had a another room if I remember correctly where they fit things from there other adventures into. I saw it in one other episode where Smithers finds out information on his dad, Homer throws Smithers dad's head into the room and we see a couple of things that were from the past. Well any ways, good couple of quotes here and there but Lisa episodes tend to be my least favorite, so I grade this a C.

The only error with this episode (that I could find) is the flag they used for Canada.

Canada didn't get the maple leaf until Feb 15th 1965.
Before that Canada used "The Red Ensign"; A British colony flag.

Other than that... Great episode!

I think it would have been funny if Homer yelled like he did after finding the skeleton in the quarry.

I didn't like Milhouse in this episode. He could refute Lisa's claims, but he sounded very condescending.

Firestar007

I agree he did sound condescending...didn't like that especially how he was acting toward Lisa...especially how he is always crushing on her.

Grilka

I think I would have expected it from Martin instead.

Firestar007

True...that would've been the logical choice. Strange that it was Milhouse.

What I also found amusing in this episode is where Homer tells Bart that he can't believe that they're married to them (meaning Marge and Lisa)

Grilka

Wha?!? I didn't even catch that. And that made me think of Cletus and Brandine.

Firestar007

Hehe yeah...if you want to see the scene it's at 9:43 into the episode...because Marge tells Lisa they should go to the library since the diary gets destroyed and they leave and then Homer goes, "Bart, can you believe we're married to those nerds?" and they both laugh and high-five each other
