“And Maggie Makes Three” – Season 6, Episode 13

Flashback episodes can be tricky to pull off in a show that’s been on for as long as The Simpsons. (Recent flashback episodes suggest Homer was a teen in the ‘90s, which makes no sense but whatever…) However, “And Maggie Makes Three” from season six avoids this pitfall by basically not focusing on the era and instead using the flashback to tell us how Maggie came to be. For anyone who has worked a job they hate because it paid well, this episode will hit hard. And that ending still makes me tear up a bit.
