Of course I only saw American Graffiti in its entirety a few years after watching this episode. Didn't realize the scene in the convenience store was referencing this.

I always think of this as a new-ish episode...wow. 20 years.

This is a great episode. It reminds me of what would come with Bob's Burgers, which is well done familial story telling that works in a nice little story arc for two of the characters, with the others bringing in laughs. Also, as the AV Club points out, it's prime Milhouse.

I think if I were pressed, I'd have to say this is my all-time favorite Simpsons episode.
