YMMV / The Simpsons S 26 E 18 "Peeping Mom"

• Harsher in Hindsight: In this episode, Homer muttering to Lisa that she's his favorite child is a sweet moment in the midst of a scene where she's down because of Middle Child Syndrome and he's working to cheer her up. The following season's "Barthood" would cast his Parental Favoritism in a way harsher light by showing how Bart is plagued by insecurity throughout his childhood because of it.
