Episode Information Showrunner: [[{{{showrunner}}}]]

"Bart to the Future" is the seventeenth episode of the eleventh season.

Reception

This episode, like Kill the Alligator and Run, is often considered one of the worst episodes in the show's long history, receiving almost universally negative reviews from critics and fans alike. Entertainment Weekly named it the worst Simpsons episode of all time, stating that, "while Bart to the Future was likely better than anything else on TV the week it first aired, even Mojo the monkey could've banged out a more inventive script," and that, "We didn't know it was physically possible for something to both suck AND blow."

Cultural references

The title is a pun on Back to the Future.

Trivia

• It aired exactly five years after Season 6's, "Lisa's Wedding", which also depicted the Simpsons' universe in the future.

The scene in which Bart was talking to the ghost of Billy Carter in a bar at Camp David was, most likely, supposed to be like Treehouse of Horror V where Homer was talking to Moe's ghost in the bar of Burns' mansion.
