A year and a half ago

What storyline did Abe Simpson mention right before Marge said, "That happened a year and a half ago" in tonight's repeat?

happened

Grampa: "Homer bowled a 300 game?" which is referring to BABF02 "Hello Gutter, Hello Father" that aired 11.14.99 and involved homer bowling a 300 game.

Thanks.

"Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder" - November 14, 1999 "Half-Decent Proposal" - February 10, 2002

18 months before February 2002 is August 2000. That's not good. :-)

oh well, it's *pretty* close anyway. and what the hell is wrong with me today? i *meant* to type "Fadder" in that title. i wasn't paying attention and typed "Gudder" accidentally, then changed it and then typed "Father" instead of "Fadder" *despite the reminder. oh, it's too hot today. it actually is pretty warm, warmest day of the year so far!

but she was talking about 18 months from production dates, not Air dates

yeah, i was thinking about that earlier. it would probably be quite difficult to base that joke on airdates back in production days and then have it turn out to be true when the episode actually aired. but it was a pretty good joke nonetheless.

Which means the script for Half-Decent Proposal was written in May 2001.
