Trivia[]

  • It is the last season documented by the Frinkiac website.
  • This season has the 365th ("Simpsons Christmas Stories") and 366th ("Homer's Paternity Coot") episodes, meaning that a viewer can watch a Simpsons episode a day for a full year (or a leap year, in the case of "Homer's Paternity Coot") without repeating, provided the viewer doesn't watch any of the Tracy Ullman Show shorts or skip over the now-banned season 3 episode "Stark Raving Dad".
  • This is the first season ending in the 7 digit to use the full intro as season 7 was the first to not use it, leaving out the 138th episode spectacular.
  • This is also the first 7 digit season to use the intro first introduced in season 3, albeit one episode, as season 7 did not use it for any of its episodes.
  • This is one of the seasons where only some episodes are pal-pitched in some other countries.
