References To Years On The Simpsons

I have been watching different episodes of The Simpsons and seeing what years are mentioned. I am doing this for every episode in the series to see how many years have been mentioned. Would anyone like to help me with this? All you have to do is watch an episode, see what years are mentioned in it, and then post the episode and the years in this thread. Thanks!

It depends on what you mean by "years mentioned" - you mean mentioned in any way, or mentioned as applying specifically to characters on the show?

Here are some: 1955 - Homer's birth [7F02 - Simpson & Delilah] 1974 - Homer and Marge's senior prom [7F12 - The Way We Was] 1984 - Lisa's birth [9F08 - Lisa's First Word] 1990 - Krusty arrested for robbing the Kwik-E-Mart [2F02 - Sideshow Bob Roberts]

(Marge was pregnant and Bart was born in "The beginning of the 1980s", according to "I Married Marge" (8F10), but no specific year was mentioned.)

In 1972 Homer was 17. He bought some very good beer, with a fake I.D. His name was Brian Mcgee. He stayed up listening to Queen. When he was 17.

It can just be any year mentioned or seen on the show. For example, the in episode Homer And Lisa Exchange Crosswords, these years were mentioned: 1946 (It's seen as a clue on a crossword puzzel), 1958 (Grandpa says he started doing cross word puzzels then), 1997 (Skinner mentions the school's pep squad being state runner up this year), and 2008 (The crossword puzzel has the date 11/16/08 on it). Now you watch an episode and see what years were mentioned in it!

I'm starting my own database of which episodes show panties. Yes, I said panties. So everybody watch the episodes and if you see panties, post about it. It can be any panties at all, Lisa's, Marges's, Reverend Lovejoy's wife's panties, any panties.

Except Patty or Selma, because, you know, puke!

Ah, but it couldn't have been 1972, Queen didn't release their first album 'til 1973. (And if I remember right, the artwork seen on the record resembled "A Night at the Opera," which bumps it up to '75)

Then they must have been lying in "Simpson & Delilah" when they said he was born in 1955. Homer's birth must have been in 1958 or later.

Of course, you can't really take any reference seriously.

After all, Homer was a toddler at Woodstock, ie 1969, which sort of gets in the way of him being born in 1955, or him going to high school in the early seventies.
