Have they done an episode on Marge becoming a robot yet?
Days of Future Future had Homer turn into a robot at the end. Though most of the episode he was an uploaded consciousness.
Man, I can't wait to hear the Dead Homer Society's reaction. Onee renewed season was bad enough but TWO?!

Nope, Homer has monopolized all of the "robot" plotlines.
He worked with robots in Season 23's Them, Robot... all of the robots sound like Data from Star Trek, how droll.
He then became a robot in Season 25's Days of Future Future...
And then he befriended a robot in Season 26's Simpsorama...
Yoooooooo

The Heartbroke Kid, Season 16.
He also ended up with Bender in an earlier episode, Future-Drama where he shared him with Bart.

This, the best episodes were the ones with the less slapstick comedy. Homer actually used to be a human being im the first 10 seasons not just some baby man.
some of my coworkers are close to being a decade younger than me and i introduced them to classic simpsons. they were really surprised that there were a lot of funny, timeless jokes and a lot of heart, because they were expecting something more like family guy.
that said, there was a lot of dated stuff in there. i love summer of 4'2", but it's 20 years old now.

It's just homer's fantasy/daydream.
Yes, so they fulfilled that prediction, even if just through a daydream.
It still counts though.
Ullman shorts, Christmas show, Marge's fling, Homer's bro, Bart in well, Flanders fails, Whacking snakes, Monorail, Mr. Plow, Homer space, Sideshow Bob steps on rakes, Lisa's future, Selma's hubby, Marge not proud, Homer chubby, Homer worries Bart is gay, Poochie, U2, NRA, Hippies, Vegas and Japan Octuplets and Bart's boy band, Marge murmurs, Maude croaks, Lisa Buddhist, Homer tokes, Maggie blows Burns away, What else do I have to say?! They'll never stop The Simpsons! Have no fear, we'll have stories for years, like Marge becomes a robot, Maybe Moe gets a cell phone, has Bart ever owned a bear? Or, how 'bout a crazy wedding? Where something happens and doo doo doo doo doo... Sorry for the clip show. Have no fears we'll have stories for years.
--> Bart hasn't owned a bear. That is the only story left.

They flew there? I thought they took the train or something.
tbqh it's true though, like a reactionary effect from South Park and Family Guy whose style of writing became more predominant in adult animation.
Yep. Plenty of old season eps are very emotional.
How is it dated outside of the clothes though?

Dated or not... that episode is still timeless and easily recommended to any Simpsons enthusiast young or old.
(I am clearly biased.)
not a ton. there are some references and lingo that don't really work though:
-baywatch
-blossom
-'radical' (although 'radical' is back in 2015 as 'rad', which is pretty rad)
-dennis the menace (which was experiencing a resurgence in a pretty big way at the time)
it's an episode that stands as one of my favorites though. like it may be #2, just behind marge vs. the monorail.
OH BOY, A CARNIVAL!

Ah right, lingo and some old references. Still I think it can hold up today.
Was the beach ever revisited in future eps?

They flew. Bart goes into the cockpit and presses the button to make the oxygen masks come down, and everybody panics.
Examples pls

They've been to the beach plenty of times. Just not THAT beach.
We've had beach scenes in several HD era episodes - The Changing of the Guardian, The Squirt and the Whale, Diggs and possibly one or two others that I've forgotten about.
Although I would argue that the closest approximation of a summer vacation episode we've had in recent years has been A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again (which took place on a cruise ship).

easily one of the better hd eps if only because of how Bart feels childlike

She does look eerily calm so I guess it fits

if it was, i don't remember it.
i don't think milhouse was as ever on fire as he was in summer of 4'2". everything he says, does, or has done to him is fucking gold.

The carnival line sells it because Lisa and Bart were arguing and the scene made it look like Mihouse wasn't there
