Mr. Lisa's Opus

Kat Dennings, Valerie Harper, Kipp Lennon, and Jon Lovitz guest starred.

Seven years ago, baby Lisa exclaims numerous words, waking up Marge and Homer.

Seventeen years later, Lisa writes her Harvard College admission essay and reflects on her past while coping with Bart being a disappointment.

At Moe's, Lisa warns Homer that Marge is going to leave him and makes him promise to quit drinking.

[1] However, since episodes set in the future are non-canon, this led to debate regarding Lisa's sexuality as a adult.

[2][3] In March 2017, Entertainment Weekly reported that television producer Norman Lear would make a cameo as himself involving a theme song from one of his shows.

Club gave the episode a C, stating "Jean's script sends us chasing these different-aged Lisas through the years to no real purpose or effect.

There are a few sweet moments that stand out more for their abrupt humanity in the face of the gimmickry as much as their emotional impact.

Lisa's Opus' is an epic comedy film parody, along the lines of, but funnier on a line-by-line basis than, last season's 'Barthood.'

Dan Castellaneta's voice of Homer is in its glory as a rapid fire laugh delivery system.
