YMMV: The Simpsons S 4 E 12 Marge Vs The Monorail    • Awesome
Music: The "Monorail" song.   • Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The
Flintstones part (where Homer sings the Flintstones theme as
he's driving home from work) at the beginning of the episode. It
has no place in the actual plot and it's never mentioned again.
It's just there because it's funny.   • Franchise Original Sin:
This episode, considered one of the greatest of all time, is now
the most fan-rewritten as a "modern" Simpsons episode to
illustrate how badly the show has fallen into Seasonal Rot (and
it has a lot of elements that have come to be abused during its
seasonally rotten years: celebrity cameos [Phil Hartman as Lyle

of the plot and showing him with a new job that only lasts one
episode, the Big Lipped Alligator Moment mentioned above, and
the needless musical number that also has no plot relevance.
Suffice it to say, these days, this would be more at home as a
Family Guy epi
