Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe footage of Lisa calling Homer at work to say she loves him is recycled from Bart's Dog Gets an F (1991), as you can clearly see Lisa has the mumps in this scene.
- GoofsWhen the boys from school are watching Lisa ride her pony, Ralph speaks with Nelson's voice.
- Alternate versionsHomer's dream sequence was accompanied by a version of the Beatles' "Golden Slumbers" when originally aired. A different song is featured in the syndicated version, although the original soundtrack plays on the Season 3 DVD set.

Featured review
A classic with a bit of everything
Homer attempts to win Lisa's affection with a pony.
This is a great episode with a strong plot and brilliant humour.
The first part is the set up for the Pony to be introduced and it's done with some sharp observations of family life, particularly parents who largely ignore children or have the wrong priorities in life.
When the Pony arrives it does so with a spectacularly funny homage to a great cinematic moment. From then onwards (for me) the dialogue and general interaction between characters is consistently hilarious. There are also some excellent visual gags relating to Homer's tiredness.
It all ends perfectly with a dilemma and decision one character has to make for the good of the family.
