Contents
Synopsis
When Bart discovers that a fifth grader has a scar identical to one Bart has, Marge tells him about a club of mothers she was in once where they set playdates for their kids; when she tries to reform the club, things turn out better for Marge than they do for Bart.
Plot
Bart asks Marge why he has the same scar as a fifth grader. She tells him that her and other moms used to set playdates for their children and they eventually broke up. Bart wants Marge to get the group back together, but he tires of the same playdates. Bart discovers that on July 4, 2003, he and his friends set off loads of fireworks, causing the sword forks to fly off Comic Book Guy's sandwich, making a sword scar on his hand. Bart and Milhouse plan to frame his friends for setting of fireworks, making the group break up again, but Marge does the deed herself.
Production
The episode was written by Brian Kelley and directed by Chris Clements
Reception
"Moms I'd Like to Forget" was viewed by an estimated 12.65 million households in its original broadcast.
Rowan Kaiser rated the episode with a C+ writing that if felt "The entire episode just seems to be hurtling towards a reset button: Of course Marge isn't going to end up with three new best friends, and of course Bart isn't going to have an entirely new crew to hang out with. The writers seem to know this, and the resolution is half-assed at best."
