"What fun can you have in a pool anyway that you can't have in a bathtub with a garbage bag taped around your cast?" - Bart Simpson

Broadcast season six kicks off with the Simpsons making their grandest upper-lower-middle-class purchase yet: a pool! Lisa is crowned the Queen of Summertime, while a treehouse mishap causes Bart to break his leg and become isolated and weird—but no more so than any child who would later grow up to become a podcast host. And did Ned Flanders kill his wife? Listen in as we wrap everything up in a NEAT LITTLE PACKAGE! (Sorry if that sounded sarcastic.)
