The Simpsons: 10 Giant Plot-Holes You Probably Missed

2. Marge and Homer's Changing Backstory

Bart Pregnant One of the most egregious examples of the series' retconning came in the Season 19 episode "That 90's Show", in which Marge attends Springfield University in the 90's and Homer quits his job at his father's laser tag warehouse to become a wildly successful grunge singer. His band "Sadgasm" score a big chart hit "Shave Me," but glorious achievements aside, this blatantly contradicts the third season episode "I Married Marge"(as well as many other episodes) where Homer worked at a mini-golf course in the 80's and knocked up Marge with Bart there after hours, after their romantic date of watching The Empire Strikes Back. To the show's credit, this bizarre alternate timeline has never been mentioned again. Here's hoping it stays that way.

Hi there, What Culture-ers! I'm William Graff, a 40-year old freelance writer from the wilds of Capitol Hill in beautiful Denver, Colorado. I enjoy many things such as beer, Doctor Who, The Simpsons, record collecting, stand-up comedy, long aimless walks, and of course the Broncos, which is required by law if you live here. I appreciate all feedback for my writing, but I prefer cash and/or deleted Smiths singles in lieu of praise. Rock on!
