Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Bart and Lisa are in bed at seven o'clock, and Lisa opens the blinds, you can see a previous version of Bart playing baseball outside.
- GoofsHomer and Marge are ordered to stay at least 100 feet from their children while they are in foster care, but the Flanders residence is right next door and not necessarily 100 feet away.
- Quotes
Reverend Lovejoy: Ned, have you considered any of the other major religions? They're all pretty much the same.
- Alternate versionsIn the original airing of the episode on Oct 1, 1995: "Home Sweet Home-Dum-Diddly-Doodly", when Milhouse was telling Bart where he got a monkey from, he says "We bought this wicker basket from Pier One, and we found him passed out inside." In all syndicated airings of the show, the store name of 'Pier One' in that line has been replaced with "Trader Pete's". One can clearly see how the new words do not match with the animation. (However, in the UK, where Pier One isn't recognized, they air the original version.)

You negligent monster
The Simpson children are placed on foster care when Child Protection Services visit the home.
This is a fairly dark episode with cleverly written humour and a quite vicious parody of religious parenting.
The story is strongly written with a great arc for the Simpson family that goes to a darkly funny place, includes some humorously suspenseful moments and a very sweet ending.
I particularly like the comedy in the build-up to the CPS decision the Homer and Marge are unfit parents, which is very well thought out. Where Bart, Lisa and Maggie end up is a brilliant and ironic gag and never fails to make me laugh. Maggie is used especially well by the writers and animators.
