Season 7's "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" premiered 30 years ago, yet it still resonates with fans just as loudly as it did in 1996. The title is a play on the title of the 1971 coming-of-age film, Summer of '42.
Lisa struggles to avoid her favorite places, such as the library. After spotting a group of kids, she acts aloof and pretends the big words she knows are from watching Baywatch. After she pretends to know how to skateboard, the kids accept her. Erin (voiced by Christina Ricci) even makes her a friendship bracelet. At the same time, her new friends make fun of Bart, mocking him for trying too hard.
