The Season 37 opener for The Simpsons is bringing it again to less complicated instances for TV dramas.
Within the episode, titled “Thrifty Methods to Thieve Your Mom,” blue-haired matriarch Marge Simpson (voiced by Julie Kavner) pulls out her ’90s videotape assortment and introduces daughter Lisa (Yeardley Smith) to teen drama Keagan’s Pond, a play on The WB’s Dawson’s Creek.
As they bond, Marge even pushes Lisa to strive on her classic garments. However the mini attire and crop tops from the Simpsons’ attic catapult Lisa into a difficult social group of Euphoria-like fashionistas (one among which is voiced by Oh, Mary!‘s Cole Escola), who’re obsessive about thrifting. “After they run out of garments and the thrift shops show, mockingly, too costly, they may go to determined measures to get extra retro fashions,” teases showrunner Matt Selman.
The episode’s thought, says Selman, got here from author Jessica Conrad, as did the various retro-inspired outfits viewers see. And sure, Selman admits that the idea is “a little bit little bit of a Simpsons paradox,” on condition that the animated collection premiered earlier than the ’90s period they’re referencing as being Marge’s youth (on this explicit episode, at the least).

The plot to the premiere isn’t dissimilar from an precise Dawson’s Creek plot, admits Selman. “Lisa bonds together with her mother, then bonds with some new cool children, and chooses the cool children over her mother, and so they have a battle,” he says. “[But] Lisa learns that her connection to her mom is, in fact, the deepest of all.”
Earlier than Lisa and Marge make up, nevertheless, Marge will go to a ’90s conference and meet the actor behind her teen heartthrob, Keegan. Sadly, much more than Marge’s garments have modified for the reason that ’90s.
In the meantime, Homer (Dan Castellaneta) and practically each man in Springfield turn out to be enamored with the violent Clincher, impressed by Prime Video’s Reacher. May the actioner put together Homer to save lots of the day? Truly, perhaps.
And what’s Bart (Nancy Cartwright) as much as throughout all of this? Effectively, he’s chopping a rug with Milhouse’s mother, Luann Van Houten (Maggie Roswell). You’ll simply have to look at to search out out why!
