The Story of Grunge Revealed...Ok Maybe Not.

In this week's episode of The Simpsons, Matt Groening and company continue to kill the once hilarious sitcom. This week, they give Homer and Marge a completely new history that doesn't work on any level because it contradicts anything the show has said in its previous 19 seasons.

This time around in what appears to be 1992, 3 years after the show started airing, Marge goes to college, leaving Homer behind to work a dead-end job. While Marge becomes infatuated with her left-wing professor, Homer starts a band called Sadgasm (think Nirvana but much worse than they actually are). The episode is complete with two songs, a Weird Al parody and a sad Back to the Future reference already used by Family Guy last year.

To be honest with you, this episode seems like a complete ripoff of Family Guy's travel back in time episode entitled "Meet the Quagmires."
