Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBart sees a vision thirty years in the future in 2030 when Lisa is the President of the United States and she has to fix the economy after the disastrous presidency of Donald Trump. Episode writer Dan Greaney later stated he chose Trump for the reference because it "just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane." Trump was also being parodied for his first presidential run as a Reform Party candidate in 1999, which had commenced while the episode was being produced. In a case of life imitating art, Trump was elected president in 2016 and also, after Trump's presidency Kamala Harris wore a similar outfit to President Lisa's when she was sworn in on January 20, 2021.
- GoofsLisa's plate of food keeps changing between shots during the scene where she has dinner with her parents and Bart. At some points, she is eating a brown pasta or rice dish, but at others she has a plate with the same meal as her family: steak, mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. Also, Lisa wouldn't eat steak in any case because she's a vegetarian.

Worst episode ever?
How was this was considered to be the worst episode ever? Did they not see the musical flashback compilation episode?
This has one to be one of the better episodes set in the future.
