History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS6E13AndMaggieMakesThree

** The dramatic weight of Homer having to give up his dream job and go back to work at the power plant to provide for loses a bit of its luster when later seasons make a RunningGag out of how many times Homer [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands either quits or is fired from his job to pursue a new one]] with nary a concern about finances, only to be [[StatusQuoIsGod right back at the plant the next episode]], to the point where [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS35E11FrinkensteinsMonster one episode]] reveals that the plant has dedicated forms for him [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity leaving the job and coming back]].

* HilariousInHindsight: When discussing the gender of the new baby, Bart tells Lisa that the baby will be a boy, since, according to him, "the order goes boy, girl, boy, girl". Not only is he soon proven wrong, but [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS21E8OBrotherWhereBartThou a later episode]] has him try to get Homer and Marge to conceive another baby so he can have a brother, only for Marge to point out that the baby might not be a boy after all, resulting in an ImagineSpot of Bart having ''three'' sisters. So much for "boy, girl, boy, girl".

** The ending of this episode, in which Homer tapes photos of Maggie all over the plaque that reads "Don't Forget: You're Here Forever" so it reads "Do It For Her" is widely considered to be one of the most, if not ''the'' most, touching scenes in the entire series.
