    Good but the storyline was a little dry,

    Moms Id like To Forget is a good Simpsons episode although although the storyline was a bit dry and it is one of the weaker episodes of this season.

    After Bart and a fifth grader discover that they both have a similar scar on their hands,Marge admits that he got that back when Marge use to hang out with a gang of mothers that she stop hanging out with because their kids were bad influences on Bart.

    Marge decides to reconnect with the group every Tuesday night and Marge starts to enjoy to pleasure of going out without her kids.Bart and Lisa try to find out how Bart got that scar and they find out the truth from Comic Book Guy.Homer has to start hanging out with Marges friends husband again which he dreads the same as them because they all hate each other.

    Dear Matt Groening ..

    Dear Matt Groening,

    I've enjoyed The Simpsons since as long as I can remember. But lately it seems that there's a new sheriff in the vast land that is Simpsons country. New episodes lack humor, depth and seem to been put together in a hurry - or maybe stories are being used that didn't make the cut the first time around. And this particular episode just offended me - with the whole Ralph-was-dropped-on-his-head-when-he-was-a-baby: c'mon now, that's not funny - that's just terrible (especially the look on Wiggums face when he dropped him). I know it's just a cartoon, it's not real or anything, but this kind of 'humor' is beneath what the Simpsons (to me) is all about. I don't know, maybe I'm just complaining about nothing, maybe I'm just getting too old for the show or whatever and I should just stop watching. And that would be too bad, 'cause The Simpsons were (are?) just awesome.

    Thanks for many years of animation at it's finest.

      It's implied in this episode that the reason Ralph isn't particularly intelligent is because Chief Wiggum dropped him on his head
    • Goofs
      Only in the Italian version: in the couch gag where the couch commutes to work reading a newspaper, while the original English title reads "Ottoman Empire Falls", in Italian it's "L'IMPERO OTTOMANO CLOLLA" - a spelling mistake (it should be "CROLLA").
