Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBob Arnold tells Lisa that there are "quite a few women senators", but Lisa responds that there are only two. At the time of this episode's airing there were indeed only two female senators, Nancy Kassebaum Baker and Barbara Mikulski. Less than a month after this episode aired, the sexual harassment allegations of Anita Hill during the Senate confirmation for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas drew nationwide attention to the lack of women in the Senate. In the 1992 elections, dubbed the "Year of the Woman", the number tripled from two to six.
- GoofsGeorge Bush is shown in the Oval Office sitting at the Resolute desk. Bush never used this desk, and instead used the C&O desk, a walnut desk without a front panel.

Disney+ This Isn't the Season Premiere
Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington was an amazing episode. I am researching Season 3 with my Dad and we have watched 3 really good episodes. This episode is one of those. Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington is a nice episode. It's political, but not too political. Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington has an interesting plot and great humor. Who could ever forget the famous Barbara Bush scene. Anyway, I have something else to discuss about this episode. On Disney+ it says that this the first episode of the season. That's not true too. The first episode in the season is Stark Rank Dad. Now I know that Stark Rank Dad is a banned episode, but Disney+ acts like it never existed. Why does Disney+ want to cover it up that the episode is not on there? They just should have labeled this as the second episode of the season. Easy as that. I mean come on Disney+!! I'm sure every Simpsons fan knows that that episode was banned, and if they don't they can just look it up. At least on Amazon it says that the episode exists but it is just not available. I really want to see Stark Rank Dad too! I don't understand why Disney+ has to hide it. I really don't. Is it because Disney doesn't want people to even know about it? It's just weird. In all, I give this a 8.4 out of 10.
