I graduated from High School in 1986. One of my fave Simpson tricks is when they go back to the 80's..usually when Marge and Homer are just married.

What are some great 80's references contained in Simpsons episodes. I'll start:

The B-sharps sing "Baby on Board"

Homer, coming out of a theatre showing The Empire Strikes Back: Wow, what an ending! Who would have thought Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father!

Every flashback revealing a different hair-do for Dr. Hibbert. Among them, the Arsenio Hall flat-top (although this may be more early 90s) and the Mr. T mowhawk.

In "I Married Marge" he had an afro, and I think in the "B Sharps" episode, he had the Stevie Wonder braids w/beads.

Other 80s references: -Homer's "I Shot J.R." shirt -David Hasselhoff on TV Guide -"Mama's Family" ("coming up next, a special hourlong episode"...) -84 Olympics

Hate to burst your bubble, but Homer and Marge were not married in the 80s.

In 1987, they had a 10 and 8 year old already.

Did they teach "new math" in the 80s or no math?

DUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

In 1990 Bart and Lisa were still 10 and 8. In fact, they still are. Actually, in one episode Lisa had a birthday. So she must've turned 8. Technically, when the show started she had to be 7. Right? Or did she just not get older? Now I am confused!

She didn't age, just as Bart passed Mrs. Krabappel's class but didn't, and Lisa passed second grade in military school but didn't.
