== Biography ==
I discovered the Simpsons in 1992. Year when they started to be on Mexican TV. Bart was always a big influence, and I had tried to follow his foot steps. Now as an adult Homer is the one I like the most. I was lucky to have satellite TV, so even though I didn't know English at the time, I watched new Simpsons episodes religiously every Sunday. I have watched every episode, and used to collect every Simpson comic (Spanish edition), until i came to Canada. I didn't have the money to start over, but now I am about to find them all.

==Quest==
It is on hold. There are so many things I have to do and I want to do. I would love to learn to make sculptures and make my own Simpsons characters. I would love if there was a vast gashapon version of the simpsons the same way there are the playmate ones. I know there are some out there, but there are only a few characters made.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Simpsons Tapped Out Level 6.png|200px|left|thumb|An example of a town.]]

<big>'''How to play'''</big>

To play the game, players need to tap on things in the game. For example, the player wants a list of Bart's jobs, so the player taps on Bart. Also, when placing things in the game, you need to drag it to a space then tap it to place it. When a character does a task, or builds something, a donut can be used to speed up the task. There is an 'Other Springfield' in which the player can help every day and get money and XP in reward. There is a tutorial in the first few levels.
{{Trailer

|video=<youtube width=250 height=170>hBm6yAVpDn8</youtube>
|transcript=Yes
}}
<big>'''Tasks'''</big>

When you tap a character with a speech bubble saying "!", it means they want to say something. What they say may have something to do with a task, and if it does, a box will appear on screen. In the box, there will be a title, e.g. Square One, and underneath a task, e.g. Build the Simpson House. Sometimes there may be two tasks underneath, or three. Then you might need to buy what you need to complete the task, e.g. You go into "Buildings". "Simpson House" will be highlighted and have the price underneath. You buy whatever you need to complete the task, and if your task is to build, you drag the building to the shaded box, or anywhere you want to build it. Then, a box will come up with the reward, and perhaps another box saying you have unlocked a character, and perhaps ANOTHER box saying you have leveled up. There is also a task later on in the game where you have to catch Sideshow Bob, who has been spotted in your town, and try to catch him in between going to hiding spots. 

<big>'''Adding friends'''</big>

The player can add friends via Facebook Connect, Gmail, their device's contact list and EA's Origin. After the player has added some friends, they can visit their versions of Springfield to complete three tasks each day, which results in more rewards for themselves. The maximum number of friends you can add in ''Tapped Out'' is 100.

== Story ==
Homer is at [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]], and instead of working, he is playing ''[[The Happy Little Elves Game]]'' on his [[MyPad]]. His negligence results in the Power Plant blowing up. Homer starts rebuilding the town, and is soon aided by other characters.

== History ==
=== Connectivity problems ===
On March 3, 2012, due to connectivity problems, ''Tapped Out'' was removed from the App Store.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/TheSimpsonsTappedOut/posts/283899711679471 Facebook.com]</ref> In mid-June 2012, EA took the game offline to fix the server, and to fix the Springfields which experienced problems.<ref>[https://help.ea.com/article/the-simpsons-tapped-out-will-be-offline-temporarily EA Help - The Simpsons: Tapped Out will be offline temporarily]</ref>

It was announced on August 14, 2012 that ''The Simpsons: Tapped Out'' would return to the United States App Store later that week, and it would relaunch worldwide (apart from Germany and Canada) in either September<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/08/14/the-simpsons-tapped-out-returns IGN.com - The Simpsons: Tapped Out Returns]</ref> or later in August, with improved gameplay and enhanced graphics.<ref>[http://www.gamezebo.com/news/2012/08/14/simpsons-tapped-out-coming-back-app-store-week GameZebo.com - The Simpsons Tapped Out is coming back to the App Store this week]</ref> With the relaunch, there will be new content in ''Tapped Out'', Kotaku says it'll be packing new stuff from the [[season 23|latest season]] of ''The Simpsons''. Other outlets say it'll have some new visuals as well as mechanics.<ref>[http://toucharcade.com/2012/08/14/the-simpson-tapped-out-returning-soon/ TouchArcade.com - 'The Simpson: Tapped Out' Returning Soon]</ref> It was re-released two days later, on 16 August. After December 5, 2012, EA upgraded their software to meet the constant demand of new and improved devices, and warned that the game may not work on 1st or 2nd generation iPhones or iPods anymore. <ref>[http://www.facebook.com/TheSimpsonsTappedOut/posts/401103073292467 Facebook.com]</ref>

=== Level 21 ===
Many players of the game were convinced that there was a Level 21, and also convinced that there was a bug when the player reaches 48880 XP because the game did not level up.<ref>[http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/8934574.page ''The Simpsons: Tapped Out'' EA forums - Level 20 Hang]</ref> An update for the game was then released that introduced more characters and buildings, and the Level 21.

=== Android version ===
The Android version of the game was released on January 23, 2013 in the Netherlands and Australia; the ninth content update was included with the release.<ref name="TechTell"/> The game was added to the Google Play store in other countries on February 6, 2013. The game was made available on Kindle Fire devices in many countries on June 24, 2013.

==Reaction to the game==
"We want this to be one of the biggest titles this year," EA SVP of global publishing for social and mobile Bernard Kim told CNET. "We've invested a lot. It's absolutely a top-tier development priority for us. Hardcore Simpsons fans will get a lot out of it."<ref>[http://blog.games.com/2012/02/20/the-simpsons-tapped-out-iphone-ipad/ Blog.Games.com]</ref>

On February 17, 2012, the free ''Tapped Out'' app appeared on the Sweden, Singapore, Norway, Denmark and Finland's App Stores. It was later added to Canada, the United Kingdom and several other countries, with the United States receiving the game last. On March 1, the reaction to the app being released in the United States was so overwhelming, that it created connection problems.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/TheSimpsonsTappedOut/posts/282845255118250 Facebook.com]</ref> On March 3, 2012, three days after the US release, the app was removed from every App Store (with the exception of the Canada app store; the game was removed later), so "to make sure you current players have the best possible experience".<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/TheSimpsonsTappedOut/posts/283899711679471 Facebook.com]</ref>

Most connection problems have been fixed since then, but the bugs were the main problem with the downloaders of the game. Tons of bugs were reported on the [http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/categories/show/233.page ''Tapped Out'' forum], mostly reported was the "DC while loading friends city bug".

Tapped Out was the top-grossing iOS game for EA under the last quarter 2012 and earning $23 million in sales.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/31/ea-earnings-down-despite-fifa-simpsons-tapped-out-sales IGN]</ref> Tapped Out had generated over $100 million in life-to-date digital net revenue, by Electronic Arts in October 29, 2013. After August 2012 to October 29, 2013 has it been in the top 20 iPhone grossing games in the United States for all but 12 days since launch.<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-simpsons-tapped-out-revenue-passes-100-million/1100-6415843/</ref>

== Biography ==
I discovered the Simpsons in 1992. Year when they started to be on Mexican TV. Bart was always a big influence, and I had tried to follow his foot steps. Now as an adult Homer is the one I like the most. I was lucky to have satellite TV, so even though I didn't know English at the time, I watched new Simpsons episodes religiously every Sunday. I have watched every episode, and used to collect every Simpson comic (Spanish edition), until i came to Canada. I didn't have the money to start over, but now I am about to find them all.

==Quest==
The Simpsons will be done in two more seasons, until then, i will watch, analyze, distill, and capture as many screen shoot of every episode, clip, and game related to the Simpsons. It is a hard task, but I hope to do something with all this. On the proses I will be helping this wiki grow.

== Behind the laughter ==

'''"Some Enchanted Evening"''' is the thirteenth and final episode of [[Season 1]]. It aired on FOX on 13 May, [[1990]].

== Synopsis ==
[[Homer]] and [[Marge]] go out for dinner one night while having [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie]] responsible by a babysitter called [[Ms. Botz]]. Unbeknownst to the family, Botz is known as a wanted bandit for babysitting and which she is covering her identity while Homer and Marge spends their time fairly.

== Plot ==
The episode starts with the [[Simpson family]] fighting at the breakfast table. Lisa and Bart are fighting over a donut, while Homer is reading the newspaper. After the children leave for [[Springfield Elementary School|school]], Homer leaves to the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|power plant]] without even noticing [[Marge]]. Our heroine is left with an asleep [[Maggie]] and [[Arnie Pie]] on the radio, yelling at [[Kent Brockman]]. Suddenly, a commercial comes on the radio, urging Marge to call [[Dr. Marvin Monroe]]'s on-the-air therapy. She does so, and tells him she's tired of Homer of not treating her like the ''"hot love object you are."'' (quoted by Dr. Monroe).

At work, Homer hears his wife talking about him on the phone and instead of going home that night, goes to [[Moe's]] and asks [[Moe]] for advice. Moe tells Homer he should take her to a fancy restaurant, spend the night at a hotel, and buy her some flowers. He ends up buying her a box of chocolates and a single rose, as the flowers are very expensive, and goes home and tells Marge he loves her. Marge's complexion softens, and he decides to take her where Moe suggested. During this time, Bart has made various [[Bart's prank calls|prank calls]] to Moe's Tavern (Al Caholic and Oliver Clozoff).
[[File:Crossed wire.jpg|200px|thumb|left|"Goodness! Must be a crossed wire!"]]
However, the parents are faced with a problem when they realize their kids have nobody to watch over them. Marge picks up the phone to find out that Moe is still yapping at Bart for the Oliver Clozoff prank ("Goodness! Must be a crossed wire!") Marge picks it up again and calls the [[Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper Babysitting Service]], and the receptionist immediately freaks out, telling her she must be kidding. Homer then calls under the alias "Homer Sampson", and hires a babysitter, Ms. Botz.

When Ms. Botz arrives, Marge says that Maggie has to go to sleep. Ms. Botz (sarcastically) remembers that Marge also said that Bart and Lisa can stay awake for another hour and watch the ''[[Happy Little Elves Meet the Curious Bear Cub]]''. Ms. Botz makes them watch the video (against Bart's wishes) whilst she puts Maggie to bed. After a while, Bart gets bored, and decides to switch to ''[[America's Most Armed and Dangerous]]'', where the host is talking to the audience about the notorious "Babysitter Bandit", who's real name is Lucille Botzkowski. The host also warns the viewers that she might be using a clever alias. They then show Bart and Lisa, and the rest of their TV audience, a picture of the criminal - who looks just like Ms. Botz.

As if on cue, Ms. Botz, who is really the Babysitter Bandit, comes into the room and ties up Bart and Lisa. Meanwhile, the parents are enjoying a fancy dinner at a restaurant. Once done with their meal, the Simpson adults go to their fancy hotel, where Marge discovers there is no answer at home, as Ms. Botz has unplugged all the phones.
[[File:Botz knocked out.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Botz on the floor knocked out by Bart pretending to be Maggie.]]
Back in the house, Maggie wakes up and goes downstairs to find her siblings tied up, just as ''[[The Happy Little Elves]]'' video ends. Lisa tells Maggie she'll be able to watch the film again if she unties them. The baby complies, saving the day once more.

The Simpson children hatch a plan. Maggie goes up the staircase and into the room where the Babysitter Bandit is robbing the closet. She then sucks on her pacifier and walks out of the room. Botzkowksi, tired of the incompetent children, follows Maggie's pacifier sucking sounds and into a dark closet, where she is hit on the head by Bart, wielding a baseball bat. It turns out Bart was harnessing Maggie's pacifier to accomplish the deed. The kids then rush to a local pay phone and alert the authorities, but not before tying the Babysitter Bandit up and forcing her to watch ''The Happy Little Elves''.

Marge and Homer arrive home, worried about getting no answer. They find "Ms. Botz" tied up and gagged, and then send her home with all her suitcases (in which the stolen items are contained), plus three times her regular pay. The police then arrive, along with the media, and the officers ask Homer if he really did aid the Babysitter Bandit in escaping. Homer says, ''"Not exactly aid..."'' before Homer, in bed later, watching himself on TV, turns it off, saying he's just not that bright. Marge says she loves him the way he is, and then Homer turns out the light, to have a relaxing sleep.

== Production ==
[[File:Simpsons Pilot.jpg|500px|thumb|left|Comparison of the original workprint of "Some Enchanted Evening" (left) and the final version of the episode (right). The workprint was scrapped due to its cartoonish animation.]]
Although the episode was the first produced of Season 1 and the series, with its production code as 7G01 as opposed to later codes such as 7G08 from the first episode, "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", production was delayed and overhauled after a workprint of the episode had been poorly received and covered 70% of the episode. This share of the episode had to be remade, while airing "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" for it being a Christmas special, having to air it in Christmas 1989 and becoming the first episode during this hiatus. Penny Marshall guest stars as [[Ms. Botz]].

A workprint of the episode was the first to come back from Korea as episodes of ''The Simpsons'' are often animated overseas to a South Korean animation studio AKOM.due to the overload of episodes and saving costs in lower developed countries like Korea. Everything was produced in-house in Klasky-Csupo, although the domestic studio produces only the character and background layout of episodes. The original, rough version of "Some Enchanted Evening" is also incomplete as it ends with Bart and Lisa fleeing from Ms. Botz, just discovering that she is America's Most Wanted. Sound effects and an original soundtrack are absent and would have been inserted had this been finalized.

The workprint was not been well received in the Gracie Films bungalow, with James L. Brooks giving a response with profanity. The producers wanted a realistic environment for ''The Simpsons'' as other studios had unrealistic styles for animation such as Disney, Warner Bros, Hanna-Barbera, etc. The former two has a universe where the universe was bendy and characters seemed to be made out of rubber. Hanna Barbera used cartoon sounds which were also declined. While the shorts lacked much realism in animation, the half hour series had been intended to be as realistic as possible despite the unrealistic animation.

70% of the episode had to be redone. The episode was worked on during the course of the first season until finally being aired on May 13, 1990 as the season finale. The producers considered aborting production of the series if the next episode, "Bart the Genius" has similar production difficulties although fortunately had several fixable animation problems. They convinced FOX to postpone the season premiere for several months. Although "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" was the eighth episode in production order, it had to be aired, as it was a Christmas special, in December 1989 - becoming the first episode of the first season and the first episode of ''The Simpsons'' overall.

== Reception ==
The episode was watched by around 14.2 million households with a Nielsen rating of 15.4 and eventually ranked as the 12th most watched show the week it originally aired.

"Some Enchanted Evening" received mixed reviews from critics and viewers. According to Al Jean, viewers thought this episode was the best episode of the first season after the season ended. Penny Marshall, who played Ms. Botz, ranked on AOL's list of their favorite 25 Simpsons guest stars.

[[Kent Brockman]] and [[Scott Christian]] make their first appearances on The Simpsons in this episode. [[Kelsey Grammer]] makes his first appearance on the show as [[Sideshow Bob]].

== Synopsis ==
[[Homer]] witnesses a robbery at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], and he identifies [[Krusty the Clown]] as the culprit. Krusty is arrested, tried, jailed, and replaced on the show by Sideshow Bob. [[Lisa]] and [[Bart]] are adamant that Krusty is innocent, so they examine the evidence and they conclude that he was framed. Eventually, they uncover evidence proving Krusty's innocence and showing that the robber was Sideshow Bob, who framed Krusty. When Bart confronts Bob, he admits to the crime and is sent to jail, while a grateful Krusty is released and thanks Bart for believing in him.

== Plot ==
The episode begins with Bart, Lisa and Maggie watching Krusty the Clown on TV. During the show a reluctant and unhappy Sideshow Bob is launched from a cannon, also an episode of [[Itchy and Scratchy]] is aired (titled: [[Burning Love]]). Marge calls Homer at work and asks him to stop on his way home to pick up some ice cream. Homer asks what the occasion is, and shudders when he learns that [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] are coming over later to show slides of their vacation in Mexico. Homer stops at the Kwik-E-Mart for ice cream on the way home, and while there he witnesses Krusty rob [[Apu]] at gunpoint. Cut quickly to the [[742 Evergreen Terrace|Simpson house]], as the rest of the family watches Patty and Selma's slides. Cut back to Homer, who gives a description of Krusty to the police. Meanwhile at Krusty's apartment Krusty is relaxing with a drink when a SWAT team busts down his door and take him into custody. At the police station Homer identifies Krusty as the armed robber. Homer finally makes it home just as the news report about Krusty's arrest comes on the air. Bart is devastated that his idol Krusty could have done such a thing.

On the news, [[Kent Brockman]] reports on the upcoming trial and history of Krusty the Clown including the fact that Krusty has a pacemaker. [[Reverend Lovejoy]] calls for a public burning of all Krusty merchandise. The next day as Krusty walks up the steps to the courthouse Bart and Lisa watch in disbelief and Bart notices that Krusty has small feet. Inside the courtroom during the trial, even after Bart begs him not to, Homer points out Krusty to the jury as the armed robber. Later back at the house, Homer and Marge gather up all the Krusty merchandise in the house and head to the public burning. An upset Bart watches as the pile of merchandise goes up in flames. The next day at the trial, it is revealed after being asked to identify some evidence that Krusty is illiterate. Later, the jury reaches a guilty verdict. At the Simpson house, Lisa and Maggie watch Sideshow Bob who has now taken over for Krusty on TV. When Bart walks in and sees this, he is upset. He tells Lisa, he thinks Krusty is innocent and he convinces her to help him prove Krusty's innocence.

Bart and Lisa return to the scene of the crime at the Kwik-E-Mart to search for clues. They find out the first clue that Krusty could not have used the microwave as depicted by the hidden camera footage from the store because he wears a pacemaker, due to a heart attack he suffered years ago and that there is a sign saying that people wearing pacemakers should never be near the microwave. They also find out the second clue that Krusty would not have been reading at the magazine rack, because he is illiterate, as he confessed to it during the trial, despite his show's endorsement of child literacy. Lisa recalls that while watching the security tape, she noticed the robber yelled at Homer when he stepped on his shoes. It was the third and final clue, indicating the robber had big feet. Upon learning the three clues, she realizes that Bart was right and Krusty was framed for a crime he didn't commit. They believe Sideshow Bob might know if Krusty had any enemies who want to see him fall, and decide to go talk to him. Cut to Sideshow Bob who after just finishing taping of his show enters his changing room and emits an evil diabolical laugh.

The next day, Bart, Lisa, and [[Maggie]] meet with Bob at the studio to ask him if Krusty had any enemies. But before they can ask him, Bob dismisses their investigations as the show is about to start, although he gives them tickets to his show. At the live broadcast, Bart comes on stage and explains to Bob about his investigation. Bob brushes Bart's investigations aside, stating that Krusty never really followed doctor's orders (thus why he used the microwave) and could simply have been looking at the cartoons in the magazine. Bob tries to change the subject, admits to the audience that he had 'big shoes to fill'. This helps Bart figure out the identity of the mystery robber from the Kwik-E-Mart: Sideshow Bob. The former sidekick had the most to gain from Krusty's downfall. He has feet large enough to fill his clown shoes and therefore he yelled at Homer when he stepped on his feet before the robbery.

Outraged, Bart rightfully levels his accusation towards Sideshow Bob. He grabs the microphone and contends to the audience that Bob was the real robber and proves his point by smashing the end of his shoe with a croquet mallet. This causes him to scream in pain and grab his foot. Bob yells at him for hitting his foot and the kids are shocked to hear the words uttered on the security tape. Bart continues that even though Krusty wore big clown shoes on his show, he always had little feet like everyone else. He mentions that Sideshow Bob had the most to gain in his downfall by filling his shoes with his huge feet and hits it once more, causing him to fall down. Bart removes Bob's clown shoes and reveal his huge feet on T.V. The police, having watched this realized Bart was right and they overlooked one key piece of evidence that could've kept Krusty out of jail. [[Chief Wiggum]] orders them to immediately go to the studio and arrest Sideshow Bob for the robbery.

Outside the studio, an arrested and exposed Bob dramatically confesses to the crime. He reveals that he framed Krusty for the Kwik-E-Mart armed robbery out of frustration because he finally had enough of constantly being on the receiving end of the clown's humiliating antics for more ratings. He felt his intelligence was wasted on the Krusty the Clown show and wanted it gone so he can make an educational program where his intelligence is appreciated by the public. Bob is taken off to jail and swears revenge on Bart for foiling him. He also warns adult criminals to treat children like equals because they were smart to catch him and will be smart to catch them too. The charges against Krusty are dropped and he now regains the trust of the community and the crowd cheers for him. Homer, the people and the police gave their apologies to him for their misunderstanding. Grateful to be free, Krusty thanks Bart for standing up for the truth and sticking to his convictions. The episode then ends with Bart tacking up a photo of him and Krusty on a wall. He happily goes to bed with his room refurnished with new Krusty merchandise.

== Production ==
[[Sideshow Bob]] makes his first appearance as a major character in this episode. However, his official first appearance was in the background of a scene in the season one episode "[[The Telltale Head]]". Bob's design was revamped, with his original round hair being turned into his now-famous "palm tree" style. [[James Earl Jones]] was originally cast as Bob, but the producers decided to try Kelsey Grammer. Also making their first appearances in this episode are [[Kent Brockman]] and [[Scott Christian]].

== Reception ==
The episode finished thirteenth place for May 23–29, 1990, with a Nielsen rating of 16.4. The episode received positive reviews from critics. [[Matt Groening]] has listed it as his ninth favorite episode of the show and said "I have a peculiar love of TV clownery". In a DVD review of the first season, David B. Grelck gave the episode a rating of 3/5. Colin Jacobson at DVD Movie Guide said in a review that "throughout the episode we found great material; it really seemed clear that the show was starting to turn into the piece we now know and love. It’s hard for me to relate any deficiencies" and added that "almost every Bob episode offers a lot of fun, and this episode started that trend in fine style."

[[Agnes Skinner]], made her first appearance on the show in this episode, although her voice is different to that of later episodes.

== Synopsis ==
When [[Bart]] flushes a cherry bomb down the toilet, [[Principal Skinner]] suggests that he should partake in a foreign exchange scheme. Bart ends up in [[France]], working for some crooks that want to put antifreeze into wine. Meanwhile, back in [[Springfield]], [[Adil Hoxha]], an [[Albania]]n boy, is exchanged to the Simpsons to receive in the scheme, shows an interest in the power plant, and sends information back to the Albanian government.

== Plot ==
[[File:About to drop the bomb.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Bart about to drop the bomb into the toilet.]]
While being forced to clean his room (after accidentally causing [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] to trip down the stairs, hurting his back), [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] discovers an old cherry bomb, and decides to flush it down the boy's restroom toilet at school. This decision is unknowingly made at the same time as [[Principal Skinner]]'s mother, [[Agnes Skinner]], is in the girl's restroom, the resulting explosion blows Mrs. Skinner off the toilet.

Shortly afterwards, Principal Skinner arrives at the Simpsons' house with Bart in tow. Skinner explains that the incident has 'transcended incorrigible.' Feeling that detention, suspension or expulsion won't do, he suggests deportation. The idea shocks [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], but Skinner explains his plan: In order to be rid of him, Skinner proposes to the Simpsons that Bart should participate in a foreign exchange program. Bart is sent to France, whereas the Simpsons host a student from Albania named Adil Hoxha.

In France, Bart is greeted by [[Cesar]] & [[Ugolín]], who work him worse than their [[Maurice|donkey]]. After confiscating all of Bart's clothes and items, Bart is made to collect and crush grapes, sleep on the floor, and test wine adulterated with antifreeze.
[[File:Trying to explain.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Bart tries to explain his situation to the policeman.]]
Back at the Simpsons, it is revealed Adil is actually a spy who is after nuclear secrets, which he intends to obtain from Homer. Homer is happy that Adil is taking an interest in his work, and promptly shows him around the plant.

Back in France, Bart is sent out for a case of antifreeze. As he wanders the streets, he finds a [[Police Officer (The Crepes of Wrath)|police officer]], who, sadly, doesn't understand Bart's English. When he gives Bart a piece of candy, Bart then leaves, feeling that he will never learn French, even though he has been there for two months. He then suddenly starts speaking French, and tells the officer about the child abuse and how they put the anti-freeze in the wine. Ceaser and Ugolin are swiftly arrested for the anti-freeze in the wine, and Bart becomes a national hero in France.

Back in the 'States, Adil is caught by the FBI and is exchanged for a boy who is an American spy caught in Albania. As Adil leaves, Bart returns, and his family is grateful to see him again.

'''"Homer's Night Out"''' is the tenth episode of [[season 1]]. It originally aired on March 25, [[1990]]. The episode was written by [[Jon Vitti]] and directed by [[Rich Moore]]. [[Sam McMurray]] guest stars in the episode as [[Gulliver Dark]]. [[Carl Carlson]] made his first appearances on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in this episode.

== Synopsis ==
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] purchases a [[spy camera]] through a catalog, and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] goes to a stag party at a local restaurant. The rest of the family also go to the restaurant coincidentally, and Bart snaps a picture of Homer dancing with a belly dancer, called [[Princess Kashmir]]. Soon, all of [[Springfield]] sees the picture, and [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] orders him out of the house. Homer takes Bart to a burlesque show to explain how he shouldn't take advantage of women.

== Plot ==
Bart purchases a miniature spy camera from a mail-order catalog which arrives six months later. Bart uses it to take candid photos around the house, including ones of Homer and Marge during their private time.

Later, Homer announces he's going to a bachelor party for [[Eugene Fisk]], his supervisor at the power plant (formerly, his assistant). Marge decides to take the children to [[The Rusty Barnacle]], a seafood restaurant where Fisk's bachelor party is taking place (in a separate area known as Davy Jones' Locker). Fisk and his father clearly are uncomfortable and want to leave after a sexy belly dancer named Princess Kashmir arrives. When Kashmir is unable to arouse the Fisks, Homer is invited onstage to dance with her. Homer has a great time dancing with Princess Kashmir. Bart later investigates the noisy party, sees that his father is onstage putting money in Kashmir's G-string and snaps a photo with his spy camera. Homer: "This is the most fun I've had in my entire life!"

At school, Bart joins the camera club. [[Martin Prince|President Martin]] compliments Bart for the picture of Homer dancing with Princess Kashmir and asks to have a copy. Bart refuses, but gives one to [[Milhouse van Houten|Milhouse]]. Milhouse promptly gets requests for a copy of the picture, and it isn't long before everyone in Springfield has one. Marge sees a copy of the picture at her aerobics class and furiously rips it from the wall.

Later, Homer is on his way home from work, oblivious to what others are referring to when they make sly remarks about his sexual prowess. But when Homer opens the front door, Marge immediately shoves the picture in his face and demands an explanation. Bart admits he took the picture. Marge sends Bart to his room and, after scolding Homer, shoves a hastily half-packed suitcase his way and kicks him out of the house.

Homer eventually spends the night at [[Barney Gumble|Barney]]'s poorly kept apartment. The next day – after enduring questioning from [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] about the picture – Homer goes home to apologize. But Marge doesn't want an apology; she wants Homer to take Bart to meet Princess Kashmir and show that women are not sex objects.

Left with no other alternative, Homer and Bart scour the strip clubs of Springfield to find Princess Kashmir. Eventually, they track her down at the [[Sapphire Lounge]]. Homer introduces himself and Bart to Kashmir, who is preoccupied with getting onstage for her performance. She eventually tells Homer about herself. Just as Homer is about to leave, he accidentally finds himself on stage for the night's feature attraction: dancing by scantily-clad women from all nations. Homer, however, after seeing Bart, manages to make a passionate plea to the audience to treat women with respect. This plea moves the audience. Marge, who is in the audience, accepts Homer's comments and the two make up.

== Plot ==
[[File:The Telltale Head title card.PNG|250px|thumb|left|]]
The episode begins with [[Homer]] and Bart walking on a sidewalk in downtown [[Springfield]] at nighttime. Bart has the head of a statue in his arms. As the two turn the corner an angry mob advances on them. Homer and Bart are forced to turn and run away. The mob corners Homer and Bart in the town square next to the headless Jebediah Springfield statue. As the mob angrily advances, Bart climbs up onto the statue and begs everyone to please listen to his story. Flashback to Sunday morning: the family is getting ready for church and Homer is preoccupied with a football game. On the way into church [[Marge]] confiscates Bart's personal radio with earphones and gives them to Homer. During Sunday school the teacher and students discuss the topic of who is allowed in [[Heaven]] all the students ask a lot of questions and at the end confuse and drive the teacher crazy. Back in the [[First Church of Springfield|church]] while the sermon is about sports gambling; Homer is oblivious because he is using Bart's headphones to listen to the game. On the way home from church Marge expresses her disapproval of Homer's headphones and Bart sees that the movie theater is playing ''[[Space Mutants (films)|Space Mutants]]'', and begs to go see it; Homer doesn't care but Marge tells him no. Later at home Bart asks for 5 dollars from Homer and then takes off on his skateboard. Bart skates over to the movie theater, once there he encounters 2 of the worst kids in school: [[Jimbo]] and [[Kearney]]. Bart makes a good impression on them and when [[Dolph]] pokes his head out the emergency exit door and says the coast is clear, they invite him to sneak into ''Space Mutants 4'' with them. Bart, a little unsure of the situation, agrees to sneak into the movie also.

Inside the movie theater the kids watch the movie and are discovered by an angry usher and kicked out of the theater. Back outside the group including Bart head to the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]. While Bart unwittingly distracts [[Apu]] and orders 4 [[Squishee]]s, the other kids swipe a bunch of stuff from the store. Bart meets up with them in the parking lot and realizes he was used to help steal from the store, and in an effort to stay cool with the group he doesn't say anything. They all wander over to the town square to throw rocks at the Jebediah Springfield statue, once again Bart goes along with the group so they will like him. Later while the group shoots the breeze, one of the kids says it would be cool if somebody cut the head off of the statue. When Bart hears this he defends the town founder, Jebediah Springfield, and then the other three ridicule and tease him for it. Bart walks away embarrassed. When Bart walks home by himself he passes by the statue again, and thinking about what the kids said earlier he gets an idea. Bart arrives home and talks to Homer in the kitchen about the importance of being popular. Homer tells Bart that no matter what it takes popularity is the most important thing in life. That night after everyone is asleep a black clad Bart sneaks out of the house and heads to the town square. Once at the square Bart climbs to the top of the statue with a hack saw and beheads Jebediah Springfield.

The next morning Bart wakes up in bed next to the head of Jebediah (an homage to “The Godfather”). Bart heads downstairs to the kitchen with the head in his backpack where everyone is eating breakfast when a report comes over the radio announcing the decapitation of the town statue. Bart starts get nervous when he sees how everyone in the family becomes angry after hearing the report. Scenes from [[Moe's Tavern]] and the [[Retirement Castle]] reveal that everyone else is upset about the statue as well. In town Bart meets up with the 3 kids from the day before. He is about to show them the head when he hears them say they were just kidding about decapitating the statue and would like to pound whoever stole Jebediah's head. Bart quickly picks up his backpack and hurries away toward home, passing through a growing angry crowd downtown. On the way, Bart's guilty conscience talks to him in the form of Jebediah's voice. Back at home Bart quickly goes to the back yard and tries to bury the head, but his guilty conscience, acting as Jebediah, talks him out of it. Cut to the living room where the rest of the family is watching TV; Bart walks in with the head and confesses, much to the shock of the family. When Bart tells Homer he stole the head to become popular, Homer realizes he is at fault as well. Homer and Bart head back into town with the head and now the story meets back up with the beginning of the episode. As Bart finishes the story he apologizes to the angry mob and they have a turn of heart and forgive him. Bart places the head back on the statue and all is well as the mob cheers.

== Production ==
This is the first episode of the series in which Sideshow Bob, Reverend Timothy Lovejoy, Krusty the Clown, Jimbo Jones, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Dolphin "Dolph" Starbeam, [[Ms. Albright]], and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon appear.

== Reception ==
Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, said they enjoyed: "the Simpsons being grossly dysfunctional in church, Homer dispensing terrible advice, and a real moral dilemma for Bart." And DVD Movie Guide said "Good little moments abounded, and this was a generally solid episode. I liked the objects the boys saw in the clouds, and quite a few other funny bits appeared. “Telltale” wasn’t a great episode, but it was generally entertaining and clever."

"'''The Call of the Simpsons'''" is the seventh episode of [[season 1]]. It aired on February 18, [[1990]]. The episode was written by [[John Swartzwelder]] and directed by [[Wes Archer]]. [[Cowboy Bob]] and [[Rod Flanders]] make their first appearance in this episode.

== Synopsis ==
It's a camping misadventure for [[Simpson family|the Simpsons]]. First, the Simpsons get lost in the woods and lose all their camping equipment. [[Bart]] and [[Homer]] go get help, but get washed down a waterfall, and lose all their clothes. Meanwhile, [[Maggie]] meets up with some bears, while Homer is confused for [[Bigfoot]] after he goes in a mud pile.

== Plot ==
The episode begins with Homer and Bart outside doing yard work when [[Ned Flanders]] pulls up in his brand new RV, the [[Land Behemoth]], and shows it off to Homer and Bart. In an effort to try to keep up with Ned, Homer takes the family to [[Bob's RV Round-Up]] in search of an RV of their own. Bob the RV salesman comes out and introduces Homer to an RV called the [[Ultimate Behemoth]], and gives the family a tour. During the tour Homer and the kids express their awe of the RV and Marge worries about the cost. Bob takes Homer into the office to work out a price and run a credit check. It turns out the Ultimate Behemoth is a little out of Homer price range. So, Bob shows Homer the most [[Crappy RV|run down, beaten up, small RV]] on the lot and pressures him into buying it, ignoring Marge Lisa and Bart's disapproval. Later, after loading up their "brand new" RV Homer gloats to Flanders about his purchase and the Simpson family head out to go camping. On the way Homer take a less beaten path and ignores Marge's suggestions for a map or stopping for directions. Calling his RV an all-terrain-vehicle, and much to the worry of everyone else, Homer plows through a forest and decides to stop randomly in the middle of nowhere. When the RV finally comes to a screeching halt it ends up teetering on the edge of a cliff. Everyone quickly gets out of the RV and it plummets over the edge along with everything they brought with them, resulting in a fiery explosion at the bottom of the drop.

The family is now left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and they are lost in the middle of the forest. Homer tells everyone to relax because he is "an experienced woodsman." He then builds a makeshift shelter for Marge, Lisa and Maggie, and takes Bart along with him to find help. Marge and Lisa watch as Maggie follows behind Homer and Bart; however, they are not aware of Maggie behind them. When Homer and Bart hear Maggie sucking on her pacifier they think it is a rattle snake and take off running scared leaving Maggie far behind. Homer and Bart then stumble through some brush and end up falling off another cliff and into a raging river below. Meanwhile Marge and Lisa seem to be just fine, they are tidying up their camp and have built a much better shelter for themselves. Cut to Maggie who has been left all alone, a [[Springfield Bears|bear]] approaches her on its hind legs and roars; Maggie unafraid sticks an extra pacifier in the bear's mouth which calms the bear down. After Homer and Bart fall down a waterfall Homer sees Bart's lucky cap float by and he thinks Bart has drowned. Bart tells a crying Homer, "Don't have a cow man." Homer is relived to see Bart alive and they both realize they are now naked after falling over the waterfall. Back to Maggie, who is being carried by the bear back to its cave where she is accepted as one of the group by 3 other bears. Meanwhile, Homer and Bart look for food after clothing themselves with shrubbery. Homer's attempts at catching rabbits for food fail. Back to Maggie, the bears find another family of campers and steal things from their site, like a bottle and baby toys and bring them back to Maggie. Meanwhile it is nighttime and Marge and Lisa have made themselves a fire and get ready for bed, while miles away Homer and Bart shiver without a fire and try to go to sleep and Maggie is sleeping warmly with her new family of bears.

The next morning Homer and Bart look for food and come across a bee hive. When Homer steals some honey the bees attack him. To stave off the bees Homer jumps into a muddy stream where a naturalist cameraman is filming footage a deer. The cameraman runs off scared after seeing Homer covered in mud and screaming incoherently due to the big glob of honey still in his mouth. Cut to a breaking news report claiming the existence of Bigfoot and using the footage of Homer as proof. A 5000 dollar reward is offered for "Bigfoot's" capture. The next day at the edge of the forest Bigfoot mania has set in, people are selling Bigfoot memorabilia and the press is everywhere covering the event. Marge and Lisa, who have been found by a park ranger, are surprised to see all the excitement and they realize it is Homer and not Bigfoot everyone is after. Meanwhile, Homer and Bart, accidentally come across the bear cave with Maggie inside, just before the bears are about to maul Homer and Bart, Maggie communicates to the bears that it is okay. Homer takes Maggie back and along with Bart they wander back out into the woods. After awhile Homer is spotted in the forest by hunters looking for Bigfoot and is shot by a tranquilizer gun. After being tested and studied Homer is released to go back home. Dr. [[Marvin Monroe]] announces at a press conference that the evidence is inconclusive as to whether or not Homer is Bigfoot. Homer and Marge watch the press conference just before going to bed and Marge consoles an upset Homer who is worried about the teasing he is going to receive at work.

"'''Moaning Lisa'''" is the sixth episode of [[season 1]]. It originally aired on February 11, [[1990]]. The episode was written by [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]] and directed by [[Wes Archer]]. It features the first appearance of [[Bleeding Gums Murphy]].

== Synopsis ==
[[Lisa]] meets a new friend, Bleeding Gums Murphy, a jazz musician who helps her cope with the blues. Meanwhile, [[Bart]] and [[Homer]] duke it out in video game boxing.

== Plot ==
The episode starts with a sad Lisa staring at herself in the mirror in the bathroom while Homer pounds on the door waiting for his turn. Later in the kitchen before work Homer searches for his keys, while Bart and Lisa eat breakfast before school. Lisa finds the keys still in the front door. Marge only has two cupcakes for Homer, Bart and Lisa; Lisa defers the cupcakes to Homer and Bart, she is clearly depressed. During band practice at school the band plays terrible while Lisa jams away expertly with her saxophone much to the dislike of the band teacher [[Mr. Largo]]. At lunch during a food fight Lisa does nothing but sit and look sad. During gym class while playing [[dodgeball]] Lisa doesn’t move and gets pummeled by dodgeballs, all while looking sad. After school in the living room Bart and Homer play a boxing video game called'' [[Super Slugfest]]''. Homer suffers his 49th loss at the hands of Bart while [[Marge]] walks and shows Homer a note from school about Lisa.

The note is a progress report from [[Principal Skinner]] informing Homer and Marge that Lisa was too sad to play dodgeball at school. Homer attempts to discover the cause of Lisa’s sadness and Lisa tells Homer she wonders if the world would be any different if she didn’t exist. When Homer clearly can't come up with a good quick answer Marge tells Lisa to take a hot bath and Homer tells Bart to vacuum the floor. When Lisa is done with her bath she walks into the living room where Bart is still vacuuming and is not happy about it. [[Maggie]] sits by herself on the couch watching Bart and Lisa. In an effort to see who Maggie likes more both Bart and Lisa coax her to each other, instead Maggie chooses the TV. Later Homer and Bart are playing Super Slugfest again where Bart easily wins again, Homer blames the loss on Lisa’s loud saxophone playing. Homer goes up to Lisa’s room to yell at her. Lisa agrees to just practice on playing the notes without blowing into the saxophone. After Homer leaves the room, Lisa hears a saxophone playing off in the distance outside her window and leaves the house to go find the source. Lisa walks through the town at nighttime and discovers a man playing a saxophone alone on a bridge overpass. Back at the Simpson house everyone is asleep and Marge dreams about her childhood. In the dream Marge is a sad little girl and before going out to play her mother tells her to make sure she smiles. Homer also has a dream that he is trapped inside the boxing video game with Bart. Bart K.O.’s Homer and he wakes up screaming from his nightmare. Marge expresses her concern with Lisa’s sadness to Homer. Meanwhile Lisa is jamming with the man who introduces himself as Bleeding Gums Murphy. Lisa and Bleeding Gums play the blues together, and he tells Lisa he plays at a club called the Jazz Hole when a worried Marge, after realizing Lisa is gone, shows up to bring her home.

Homer watches a news report in the living room when he discovers [[Barney's Bowlarama]] has burned down. He runs in the kitchen to tell Marge the bad news, but Marge is fretting over Lisa. Bart enters the kitchen and Marge tells him to go find Lisa and act nice to her and cheer her up. Bart goes and finds Lisa and in an effort to cheer her up he plays a prank phone call on Moe, Lisa is not amused. Cut to Homer walking into the local video arcade. Homer seeks advice on Super Slugfest from [[Howard]] at the arcade. After some time Homer feels he has learned enough tricks to defeat Bart. Meanwhile Marge takes Lisa to band practice, and on the way Marge tells Lisa to smile and keep her true feelings inside so she can fit in with the other kids. Marge drops off Lisa in front of the school and observes Lisa fake smiling and interacting with the other kids. Marge sees that she has reduced Lisa to a child without opinion or complaint. Mr. Largo comes out of the school to gather the children in for practice and tells Lisa he hopes he doesn’t hear any more creativity from her again today. This makes Marge realize the error of her ways and she quickly does a tire squealing u-turn, snatches Lisa and drives away. In the car Marge apologizes and tells Lisa it is okay to be sad and that she should always be herself no matter what. Lisa is now once again happy. Back at the house Bart and Homer are playing Super Slugfest again and this time Homer puts Bart on the ropes and dominates the fight. Marge walks in to make announcement and Homer is too busy winning to listen. Much to Homer’s dismay Marge pulls the plug on the video game to gain his attention. Bart announces that he has retired from the world of video game boxing undefeated. Marge then tells the family that Lisa has a fun idea for everyone. Cut to the club, [[The Jazz Hole]], where the family listens to Bleeding Gums play a [[Moanin' Lisa Blues|blues song written by Lisa]].

"'''There's No Disgrace Like Home'''" is the fourth episode of [[season 1]]. It originally aired on January 28,[[1990]].

== Synopsis ==
After an embarrassing experience at the company picnic, [[Homer]] begins to wonder if his family is too dysfunctional. Homer, [[Marge]], [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie]] attend family therapy sessions with [[Dr. Marvin Monroe]], an unorthodox psychotherapist who uses shock therapy to "cure" them.

== Plot ==
The episode begins with Bart and Lisa in the living room, pushing and shoving each other, while having an argument. Homer quickly rushes in to break them up. He tells them to get the bad behavior out of their system, because they are going to [[Mr. Burns]]' company picnic, and he doesn’t want his family to embarrass him in front of Mr. Burns. In the kitchen, Homer admires all of the gelatin desserts that Marge has prepared for the picnic. Homer is hoping to earn brownie points with Mr. Burns because Mr. Burns commented once before on how he liked Marge's gelatin dessert. The Simpsons drive to [[Burns Manor|Mr. Burns' mansion]] and each family member carries a dessert in their lap. As they arrive at the mansion and walk up to the front door, Homer reminds his family that they need to behave and show him some love and/or respect. At the front door to the mansion, Mr. Burns greets his guests. The kid in the family ahead of the Simpsons, makes a smart aleck comment, and Mr. Burns orders Smithers to fire the father of the child. A nervous Homer and the rest of the family make it through their greeting with Mr. Burns without incident.

Cut to the backyard of the mansion where Homer once again tells his family that they have to act normal. Bart and Lisa quickly run off to play in the water fountain and Homer chases after them leaving Marge and Maggie behind. Another woman carrying a baby approaches Marge and suggests that they go place their babies in the nursery and grab a glass of punch together. Marge is reluctant at first, but then after seeing Homer chase the misbehaving kids around the backyard she decides to have a glass of punch. Cut back to Homer who is disciplining Bart, when [[Smithers]] comes over a loudspeaker and announces the father-son sack race. Homer reminds Bart that they have to let Mr. Burns win. Meanwhile, Marge is conversing with all the wives of the workers; she begins to get a little tipsy from having a little too much punch. Back to the sack race, where Smithers gives Mr. Burns a head start and then fires the starting gun. Mr. Burns is out in front of everyone, when suddenly Bart can’t stand it anymore and decides to make a break for the finish line. Homer quickly hops up ahead and tackles Bart just short of the finish line, allowing Mr. Burns to finish first. Meanwhile, a heavily intoxicated Marge leads all the women in a [[Hey Brother, Pour the Wine|song and dance number]], when Homer, who is chasing Bart and Lisa, runs by and is shocked at Marge’s behavior. He quickly whisks her away from the punch and tells her to keep it together because Mr. Burns is about to give a toast.

Everyone at the picnic gathers as Mr. Burns gives a toast, he thanks everyone for coming, but tells them all to leave immediately as the hounds will be released in 10 minutes. Everyone heads out, and Homer notices the family ahead of them; the son gives the father a kiss and tells him he had a great time. Mr. Burns witnesses this, and Homer overhears Burns tell Smithers to give that man a raise. Homer quickly turns around, and tells Bart to give him a kiss; Bart reluctantly agrees, Homer puts on a cheesy smile, and Mr. Burns is not amused. Outside in the parking lot Homer confronts the father from the "perfect" family ahead of him, and tells him he can stop the fake cornball routine. But the father doesn’t understand what Homer is talking about. Homer watches as the two kids from the "perfect" family politely open the car door for each other and he notices that the wife offers to drive the family home after a long day. Homer turns to his family and sees Bart and Lisa fighting over the backseat and Marge in the front seat, who looks like she is about to vomit. As the "perfect" family drives off, Homer envisions the clouds opening up and a beam a sunlight coming down upon them as they float up to the [[Heaven]]s. When Homer turns back to his family, he envisions them as devilish creatures trying to pull him down to [[Hell]]. Homer, ashamed of his family, drives them home.

The next day the Marge and the kids eat TV dinners in the living room and watch TV together when Homer walks in and decides that tonight they are all going to eat at the dinner table like a normal family. Cut to everyone seated at the dinner table, Lisa asks if he is happy now and when Homer says yes, everyone begins piling food into their mouths. Homer yells at them to stop and tells Bart to offer a prayer first before everyone eats. Bart half attempt at a prayer forces Homer to lead a prayer of his own. During his prayer he expresses his dissatisfaction with the way his family behaves. When Marge and the kids tell Homer they think that nothing is wrong with the family, Homer decides to prove to them that there is something wrong. He leads the family in a tour around the neighborhood, peeking into random houses to observe their neighbors family life. The first house they peek into contains a happy family sitting down to a nice fancy dinner. Bart suggests that this family is the exception to the rule and Homer shows his family another house. Inside the next house, the two parents have a nice conversation with their son. But the father hears the Simpsons just outside his window and chases them off with a shotgun. The Simpsons run off into another families’ yard, walk up to the window and peek in. Only after Bart comments about what a dump the place is and after Homer tramples the flowerbed, do they realize that it is actually their house. Everyone goes back inside except for a bummed Homer, who announces that he is going to Moe’s for a while.

At [[Moe's]], Homer sits at the bar, watches some boxing on TV and drinks a beer when [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], the two local corruptible cops, stop in for a beer. They mention that they are searching for a family a prowlers and their scent dog goes crazy when he picks up Homer’s scent. Lucky for Homer, the cops are oblivious to the dog and leave without incident. Homer explains what is on his mind to Moe and [[Barney]], and when Barney tells Homer that he got dealt a bad hand and that no one could control his kids, Homer becomes defensive with Barney and punches him in the face. An unfazed Barney pounds Homer on the top of the head and Homer goes down hard; mimicking the fight on TV. As Homer lies on the ground he looks up at the TV and sees a commercial for Dr. [[Marvin Monroe]]'s Family Therapy Center. Dr. Monroe claims he can fix any family’s problems or double their money back. Homer suddenly realizes the answer to his problems and dials the toll free phone number from the commercial.

Marge and the kids watch an [[Untitled Itchy & Scratchy cartoon (There's No Disgrace Like Home)|untitled]] [[Itchy & Scratchy]], when Homer walks in the living room and announces he has made an appointment at Dr. Monroe's Family Therapy Center. The family balks at the idea, but Homer is insistent even though it is going to cost $250. Homer decides to use the money from the kids’ college fund to pay for the appointment. But when it is revealed that the fund has only $85.50 in it, Homer goes to extreme measures and pawns the TV for the remainder of the needed money. The family pleads with him not to, but Homer is on a mission to make his family better. In the waiting room at the Family Therapy Center, Homer approaches the cashier with $250 in cash and as he holds the money in his hand he begins to wonder if the therapy will be worth it. But when Homer sees a happy family exit from a treatment session, Homer becomes determined again to make his family better. Homer plunks the money down and Dr. Monroe comes out into the waiting room to greet the Simpsons.

The therapy treatment begins as Dr. Monroe brings them into another room, sits them down and asks them each to draw a picture that represents the source of their unhappiness. Marge and the kids all draw a picture of Homer, while Homer gets lost in the task and begins drawing a picture of an airplane. Dr. Monroe explains to Homer that he is viewed as a stern authority figure. When Bart chimes and agrees with Dr. Monroe, Homer becomes filled with rage, picks up a lamp and threatens to smash Bart with it. Dr. Monroe calms Homer down and asks the family to try a different exercise. The next exercise involves the family beating each other with giant foam mallets. The exercise doesn't seem to work though, as the family grows tired of swinging the mallets; the exercise ends when Bart removes the foam from his mallet and whacks Dr. Monroe in the knee with it. Dr. Monroe can see that the Simpson family is not responding to conventional treatment, so his next exercise for the family is a bit different. He places each of the Simpsons in their own chair, hooked up to deliver an electric shock. Each chair has buttons that when pressed will deliver an electric shock to another corresponding chair. With all of the Simpsons strapped in, Dr. Monroe instructs them only to shock someone else if that person hurts them emotionally. But the exercise goes haywire when everyone goes free for all and mashes the buttons shocking each other repeatedly. The lights in the Family Therapy Center and all across Springfield dim and fade. A quick cut to Mr. Burns shows that he is loving all the energy use. Back at the Family Therapy Center Dr. Monroe screams at the Simpsons to stop, but no one listens and Dr. Monroe is forced to pull the plug on the machine because the Simpsons are overheating it. Dr. Monroe kicks the Simpsons out, but before he can, Homer demands double his money back just like the commercial said. Once outside, Dr. Monroe pays Homer $500 and the Simpsons happily walk away. They all feel a sense of camaraderie with each other and feel good for having “earned” the $500. Everyone expresses their love towards Homer and he announces that with the $500 he is going to buy a brand new TV.

The episode shows telltale signs of being one of the earliest shows of the season produced. The characters act slightly different than they would in later seasons. Lisa is a brat, Marge is a drunk and Homer is concerned that his family is going to make him look bad.<ref name="reiss">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> It was an early episode for Mr. Burns, in which he had a different voice than the one it would later become. Originally, the character was influenced by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan Ronald Reagan], which was later dropped. The idea that he would greet his employees using index cards was inspired by how [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan Ronald Reagan] would greet people.<ref name="reiss"/> The episode marks the first time Burns says "release the hounds".<ref name="jean"/> It also marked the first appearance of [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], although Lou was not black, but instead yellow like the rest of the characters. Lou was named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Whitaker Lou Whitaker] - a former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball Major League Baseball] player.<ref name="jean"/> It is the first appearance of [[Itchy & Scratchy]], although the cat and mouse duo appeared in the [[The Simpsons shorts|shorts]].<ref name="jean"/>

The idea behind the scene in which the family takes turn to electrically shock each other was based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_and_Hardy Laurel and Hardy] throwing pies at each other, albeit played out more sadistically.<ref name="groening"/> The scene was rearranged in the editing room, because when it was first produced it played out differently. The edits made to the finished product were preliminary, however they were received well and remained unchanged.<ref name="groening"/>

== Reception ==
The authors of the book ''I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide'', Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, note: "It's very strange to see Homer pawning the TV set in an attempt to save the family; if this episode had come later Marge would surely have taken this stance." They continue, "A neat swipe at family counselling with some great set pieces; we're especially fond of the perfect version of the Simpsons and the electric-shock aversion therapy". In a DVD review of the first season, David B. Grelck gave the episode a rating of 2.0/5.0, placing it as one of the worst of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wdbgproductions.com/cinerama/reviews/simpsonsseason1.htm|title=The Simpsons: The Complete First season|accessdate=2008-01-14|year=2003|author=Grelck, David B|publisher=WDBG Productions}}</ref>

"'''Homer's Odyssey'''" is the third episode of [[season 1]]. It originally aired on January 21, [[1990]]. The episode was written by [[Jay Kogen]] and [[Wallace Wolodarsky]] and directed by [[Wes Archer]]. This episode was the third to be produced, despite being the first to be written. [[Otto Mann]], [[Chief Wiggum]], [[Jasper Beardley]] and [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] make their first appearances. [[Blinky]] makes a brief cameo.

== Synopsis ==
[[Homer]] is fired from his job as technical supervisor at the Springfield nuclear plant. Unable to provide for his family, he contemplates ending it all - until he discovers a new life path as a campaigner for safety.

== Plot ==
The episode begins in front of [[Springfield Elementary]], as [[Mrs. Krabappel]] rounds up her class, including Bart, and prepares them for a field trip to the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. [[Otto]], the bus driver, pulls up to the curb, and [[Bart]] chats with him outside of the bus, as the other kids find their seats. Mrs. Krabappel yells at Bart to get on the bus. When he scurries to find a seat, he is bummed to see the only one left is right next to [[Wendell]], who is always queasy and pukes on every bus ride. As Otto takes the long way to the power plant, Bart struggles to behave on the bus ride. Mrs. Krabappel warns Bart that one more outburst will result in him singing to the class in the front of the bus. [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]], who are sitting behind Bart, decide to get him in some more trouble. At the same time, they both kiss Bart on the cheek, causing him to yell out. Mrs. Krabappel makes good on her threat and forces Bart to sing in front of the class. The bus finally arrives at the power plant, and Bart congratulates Wendell for making the whole bus ride without puking, by slapping him on the back, which results in Wendell vomiting anyway.

Once inside the plant, [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] shows a film on nuclear energy in a small theater. The film stars [[Smilin’ Joe Fission]], a little animated character, who explains the ins and outs of nuclear energy. After the film Smithers gives a tour of the plant. As the children walk behind and listen, Sherri and Terri tell Bart about how their dad, who also works at the power plant, says that Homer is an incompetent worker. Cut to Homer, who is sitting in a small motorized cart with his feet propped up, and eating a donut. Homer comments to a co-worker that Bart’s class will be here any minute, and he drives off in search of him. The children continue their tour, while walking on a catwalk above the working area of the plant. Just then, Homer turns the corner in his cart, underneath Bart and the other kids. Bart spots Homer and calls out to him, as Homer looks up to wave back at Bart he doesn’t pay attention to where he is going and crashes into a vent pipe causing it to leak dangerous gas. The supervisor nearby, who happens to be [[Sherri and Terri's father]], demands to know who caused the accident. When all the workers point at Homer, the supervisor tells Homer he is fired. He then looks up and sees Sherri and Terri and waves, and they wave back as a humiliated Bart hides his face.

The next morning at breakfast, everyone gives words of encouragement to a depressed Homer, on finding a new job. After hearing what they all have to say, a re-energized Homer heads out to find a job. But, after a long day of doors slammed in his face and no new job prospects, Homer relieves his stress at [[Moe's Tavern]]. As Homer drinks a beer, the phone rings, [[Moe]] answers it, and it is Bart playing a prank phone call. Homer reaches for his wallet to buy another beer, only to discover he doesn’t have any more money, and when Moe won’t run Homer a tab, Homer heads for home. Later that night in bed with [[Marge]], Homer expresses his concerns about finding another job. Marge consoles him and tells Homer that for the time being she can go back to the old job she had before they got married, as a waitress.

The next day with Marge gone at work, a depressed and unresponsive Homer lies on the couch. Even when the kids try to cheer him up he does not respond or move. Later that night, after seeing a [[Duff Beer]] commercial, Homer finally gets up from the couch. Homer wanders into the kitchen and searches the fridge for a beer; he becomes enraged when he can’t find one. He heads up to Bart’s room and while Bart sleeps, Homer steals his piggy bank. Back downstairs in the kitchen Homer smashes open Bart’s piggy bank only to find that Bart doesn’t even have enough money for just one beer. Homer suddenly realizes what he has done and how low he has sunk and decides solve his problems by committing suicide. Homer writes the family a farewell note, and heads outside. In the backyard, with intentions of jumping off a bridge, Homer ties one end of a rope around his waist and the other end around a large boulder. A tearful Homer looks back at the house one last time and then struggles down the road alone, with the boulder in his arms.

Homer continues on his journey to the bridge, while back at the house Bart and Lisa rush in to Marge’s room and wake her up, telling her they’ve been robbed. Bart thinks they’ve been robbed because his piggy bank is stolen, but then Lisa discovers Homer’s note and everyone gasps. Cut back to Homer; as he nears the bridge, he crosses an intersection without a stop sign and is nearly struck by and oncoming car. Homer continues on to the bridge, and just as he is about to jump into the water below, Marge and the kids, running behind Homer, shout from a distance and tell him to stop. As they rush over to Homer, they cross the intersection and are also nearly hit by a car. But Homer quickly runs in and pushes them out of the way. He comments on how dangerous the intersection is and how someone should put a stop sign there, suddenly a light goes on in Homer’s head and he realizes that he now has a purpose in life to make the intersection safer.

The next day at [[Springfield Town Hall]], Homer presents his proposal for a stop sign at [[12th Avenue]] and [[D Street]], the dangerous intersection. His proposal is accepted and a stunned Homer feels a greater sense of purpose and decides to go on a campaign to make all of Springfield safer. A montage of newspaper headlines ensues, chronicling all of Homer’s new signs and his growing public support. Later the next week, after the town has been covered with safety signs, Homer still feels he must do more and decides to take on the nuclear power plant and attempt to make it safer. The next day at in the power plant, in front of a large cheering crowd, Homer stages a protest about the lack of safety at the power plant. [[Mr. Burns]] glowers down at the protest from high above, through his office window, and orders Smithers to bring Homer to him to talk privately. Smithers goes down to the protest, retrieves Homer and sends him to Mr. Burns’ office. Once inside, Mr. Burns offers Homer a new job at the plant as the safety inspector. Homer mulls over the job offer and accepts. Mr. Burns tells Homer that his first duty is to step out on the balcony and lie to the crowd and tell them the power plant is safe. Homer reluctantly steps on the balcony to lie to the crowd and suddenly has a change of mind; he heads back into Mr. Burns’ office and tells him he can’t do it. Mr. Burns realizes that Homer is very passionate about safety and won’t back down to anything; he keeps Homer on as the safety inspector anyway. Homer goes back out to the balcony to announce to everyone his new job, the crowd cheers and Homer does a celebratory dance on the balcony ledge. However, Homer, the safety inspector himself, falls off the balcony. The crowd catches him below, and they carry him off on their shoulders, chanting his name.

== Production ==
[[File:Smithers-black.jpg‎|thumb|right|Smithers with dark skin and blue hair]]
The cartoon at the power plant was given an old-time reel footage feel by having the animation cells dragged across a cement floor to scratch it up. This trick was used several times by the animators for the next 10 seasons.

This episode marks the first appearance of [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.|Mr. Smithers]]. His skin color was actually black instead of yellow. According to David Silverman, Gyorgi Peluci, the person who did the color styling randomly decided the ethnicity of various characters, which usually wasn't much of a problem, but it sort of ruined the white sycophant personality for Smithers. In his next appearance, he was colored right, but still with blue hair.<ref>"Background Guide to The Simpsons" (PDF). ''Hurtwood Media''. September 2002. Retrieved 2007-10-25.</ref>

Although [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] was seen in "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", this was his first appearance in order of production codes (as well as the first use of his name), hence the dramatic music when the camera pans out on him.

== Reception ==
Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book ''I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide'' stated that "the story rather fizzles out at the end, but there are many good moments, especially in the power plant."<ref>"I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide Book"</ref>

"'''Bart the Genius'''" is the second episode of [[season 1]] and the first episode of the series to use the famous [[Opening Sequence|opening sequence]]. It aired on January 14, [[1990]].

== Synopsis ==
[[Bart]] swaps papers with [[Martin Prince, Jr.]] during an intelligence test at school. When the school psychologist compiles the test results, he believes the switch and refers Bart to the [[Enriched Learning Center for Gifted Children]]. The new school's laid-back liberal ethos suits Bart just fine - until he's asked to show evidence of his neglected genius.

== Plot ==
[[File:7G02-00009.png|thumb|left|The family playing Scrabble.]]
The episode begins as the Simpson family plays [[Scrabble]], in the living room, in an effort to build Bart’s vocabulary for his aptitude test tomorrow at school. The game ends when Bart cheats and makes up an imaginary word, “Kwyjibo”, and defines it as, “A big, dumb, balding, North American ape with no chin.” Homer is instantly angered and chases Bart out of the room. The next day before class, in the schoolyard, Martin Prince, the school genius, tattles on Bart, for spray painting graffiti that defames [[Principal Skinner]] on the school building. Skinner orders Bart to see him after school. As the children file into class, [[Mrs. Krabappel]] hands out aptitude tests to everyone. When she instructs the class on taking the timed intelligence test, Martin raises his hand, and reminds her that Bart is supposed to face the window during any test so he can’t cheat. A grumbling Bart turns his desk to face the window and the test begins. In an attempt to figure out a lengthy math word problem, Bart tries to visualize the problem so he can solve it. The visualization turns into a daydream and when Bart finally comes back to reality, Martin announces that he has finished his test already. Mrs. Krabappel sends Martin outside to read a book, during the remainder of the testing period. While Bart is still taking his test, he looks out the window to see a smug Martin sticking his tongue out at him. In retaliation, Bart makes faces back at Martin; Mrs. Krabappel spots Bart making faces and looks out the window to see what Bart is looking at. While her back is turned, Bart, who is seated at the front of the class, reaches over to Mrs. Krabappel’s desk and steals Martin’s test, replaces Martin’s name with his own and then puts the test back on her desk. Bart then quickly fills out random answers on his own test and then writes Martin’s name at the top and turns it in.
[[File:7G02-00161.png|thumb|Bart visualizing the math problem.]]
Later, after school, [[Marge]] and [[Homer]] are called to Principal Skinner’s office for a meeting about Bart’s behavior at school. Skinner informs Marge and Homer about Bart’s graffiti from earlier that morning. As he reaches for Bart’s rather extensive permanent record, and is about to suggest something along the lines of expulsion for Bart, his secretary buzzes in and says that [[Dr. J. Loren Pryor]], the school psychiatrist is waiting to see him. Dr. Pryor walks in on the meeting, and surprises everyone when he tells them that Bart is a "gifted child," and according to the aptitude test from earlier, Bart has an I.Q. of 216. Dr. Pryor suggests that Bart’s history of bad behavior stems from a lack of interest in his school work, due to the fact that it is too easy for him. Skinner wants Bart retested, but when Dr. Pryor suggests moving Bart to a school for "gifted children" Skinner jumps on board with the idea, and Bart quickly agrees when he hears that the school doesn’t have much structure and that you get to make your own rules. Dr. Pryor hands Bart some paperwork for the "gifted children" school, and he, Homer and Marge leave the meeting stunned.
[[File:7G02-00292.png|thumb|left|Homer reading Bart's IQ upside-down, thinking it is 916.]]
The next morning at the breakfast table, Marge and Homer hover around their new genius child and Homer tells [[Lisa]] to start eating what Bart eats for breakfast, so she can become a genius too. However, Lisa is not fooled by Bart and knows that he is still just a dimwit. After breakfast, Homer takes Bart to the "Enriched Learning Center for Gifted Children". Once inside the school they find Bart’s class, and after peeking in, they see that all the boys are wearing ties. So Homer gives Bart the tie he is wearing, and he gives Bart a little pep talk about his first day at the new school and shoves him in the classroom door. Once inside the class, [[Ms. Melon]], the teacher introduces herself and the new classmates to Bart and shows him around the classroom. She tells Bart about the independent learning and that the only rule is for him to make his own rules. Class begins with a debate on the topic of free will and the paradoxes that it creates; Bart struggles to understand the discussion. Later at lunch, Bart’s classmates realize that Bart isn’t really that smart when he accepts their ridiculously uneven trade offers. (Ex: 1000 Pico liters of milk for 4 gills worth. A gill is much, much larger than a Pico liter.) A dejected Bart walks away from the lunch table as the other kids laugh at him.

After school, Bart relaxes in his room, when Homer walks in to see about Bart’s first day at the new school. Homer suggests they all go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes and Bart agrees. Just then Marge walks by, and tells Homer and Bart that she bought tickets to the opera in an effort to try to help nurture Bart’s brain. Later during the opera, a bored and impatient Homer and Bart goof off and cut each other up, even though they are continually shushed by an upset Marge. Cut to the next day at school where Bart feels even more stupid and left out when he can’t understand a calculus problem on the chalkboard. Later, as a sad Bart walks home from school, he passes by the playground of his old school, where [[Richard]], [[Lewis]], and [[Milhouse]] are shooting marbles. When Bart greets them and tries to talk to them, they treat him like a nerd, call him names and tell him to get lost. Cut to later at dinner, as a depressed Bart eats, Marge reminds everyone that they can’t be late for the film festival that she bought tickets for, as another way to nurture Bart’s brain. Bart is reluctant to go to the festival and Homer tells him they don’t have to. Just as Bart is about to tell Homer what is on his mind and confess about the false I.Q. test, Homer insists on going outside to play catch. After playing catch, Bart sees how much being a genius means to Homer and decides not to confess about what he has done, out of fear of disappointing him.

The next day at the "gifted children" school, while performing a chemistry experiment, Bart accidentally causes an explosion, which results in green goo everywhere. Cut to Dr. Pryor’s office, where a green stained Bart meets, with Dr. Pryor. They discuss the reasoning behind his recent failings at the new school, and Dr. Pryor thinks that once again Bart isn’t being challenged enough, while Bart suggests that he just go back to Springfield Elementary again. When Dr. Pryor wants to know why, Bart makes up an excuse and tells Dr. Pryor he would like to go undercover and study regular kids and their school environment, "to see what makes ‘em tick". Dr. Pryor agrees and tells Bart to write up a proposal to present to Principal Skinner while he goes to talk to him. Bart struggles to write a proposal and instead changes his mind and writes his confession. When Dr. Pryor comes back in the office and reads Bart’s confession he suddenly realizes that Bart was never a genius to begin with. Later at home, a still green stained Bart greets his parents and Homer offers to give Bart a turpentine bath to wash off the green. Out in the backyard, as Homer gives Bart a bath, Bart confesses about cheating on the aptitude test and tells Homer that he loves him and that he has enjoyed the extra attention from being a "genius". He tells Homer that he doesn’t think something that has brought them closer than they ever were before could be bad. But, Homer doesn’t see it Bart’s way, and he chases Bart out of the tub, trying to choke him. Bart is too quick for Homer and runs into his bedroom and locks the door. An angry Homer pounds on Bart’s door, and tries to coax him to come out, while Bart taunts him from inside his room. Everything is back to normal in the Simpson home.

== Production ==
:''See also: [[Bart the Genius/Music]].''
{{Wikidump}}
The concept for the episode developed from writer Jon Vitti coming up with a long list of bad things Bart could do and imagining the potential consequences. The only idea that developed into an interesting episode concept was Bart cheating on an IQ test. This idea was based on an incident from Vitti's childhood when a number of his classmates did not take an intelligence test seriously and suffered poor academic treatment because of it. Because Bart was already obviously unintelligent, Vitti reversed the problem for his episode. Vitti used all his memories of elementary school behavior to produce a draft script of 71 pages, substantially above the required length of about 45 pages. It was Vitti's first script for a 30-minute television program. Bart's use of the phrase "Eat my shorts" was intended to reflect his adoption of catchphrases he had heard on TV; the creative team had told Vitti that he should not come up with original taglines for the character. The scene where the family plays Scrabble was inspired by the 1985 cartoon The Big Snit.

Director David Silverman had difficulty devising a legible Scrabble board for the opening scene that would convey the idea that the Simpsons were only able to devise very simple words. The design of Bart's visualization of the math problem was partially inspired by the art of Saul Steinberg. The increasing appearance of numbers in that sequence derived from Silverman's use of a similar tactic when he had to develop a set design for the play The Adding Machine. Each successive scene in the sequence was shorter than the one before it by exactly one frame. The scene where Bart writes his confession was done as one long take to balance the shorter scenes elsewhere in the episode. It was animated in the United States by Dan Haskett. There were a few problems with the finished animation for the episode. The banana in the opening scene was colored incorrectly, as the Korean animators were unfamiliar with the fruit, and the final bathtub scene was particularly problematic, including issues with lip sync. The version in the broadcast episode was the best of several attempts.

The episode was the first to feature the series' full title sequence, including the chalkboard gag and couch gag. Matt Groening developed the lengthy sequence in order to cut down on the animation necessary for each episode, but devised the two gags as compensation for the repeated material each week. Groening, who had not paid much attention to television since his own childhood, was unaware that title sequences of such length were uncommon by that time. As the finished episodes became longer, the production team were reluctant to cut the stories in order to allow for the long title sequence, so shorter versions of it were developed. The episode also introduced the characters Martin Prince and his parents, Richard, Bart's teacher Edna Krabappel and Dr. J Loren Pryor.

=== New opening sequence ===
This episode marked the first time that the opening sequence was used, which was different from the second season opening which would be later introduced in "[[Bart Gets an "F"]]".

*The Simpsons logo is in a darker blue sky with a few clouds that are whiter and transparent.
*The school is a very light purple instead of orange.
*The background that is used when Bart is skating out of school is crudely drawn.
*At the power plant, there is a bald man eating a sandwich with tongs.
*The walls of the supermarket are red.
*Maggie's hands are in triangle position.
*Lisa has a much higher-pitched saxophone solo.
*When Homer throws the rod out of the car, it bounces near [[Moe's Tavern]].
*When Bart is skating through town, he steals a bus sign from a group of waiting people. The people run and chase the bus when it passes by them.
*Marge and Maggie ride home in a red sedan.
*There is a sequence with Lisa riding home on her bike with a stack of books and her saxophone. (This was later replaced with the whip across the Springfield citizens.) Also, Lisa gets home first, so Homer only has to dodge Marge after getting out of the car.
*The TV is brown with a dark blue screen.

Hi, what episode is this image from? We like to categorize images by episode now. You can do it yourself by adding "|Episode name" in the Image Fox template.

Hi, please read that policy. All ages added into articles must be sourced with a reference to the episode, comic or book they were mentioned in. I have therefore remove the [[Capital City Goofball]]'s age until a source is provided.

== Image names ==

Hi! When naming images we usually try to make the image name be the same as the page name, especially when the image being uploaded is going into the page's infobox. This just makes it easier for people when they're making image galleries. :) --[[User:Nick97|'''Nick97''']] ([[User talk:Nick97|'''talk''']] ~ [[Special:Contributions/Nick97|'''contribs''']]) 19:18, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

== Couch gags ==

I don't think the couch gags you've uploaded should belong in the main episode article. Prehaps the gag sub-article if the episode has it. I suggest you go ask an admin, but I don't think putting the couch gag in the main article is a good idea. -- [[User:WebkinzMania|'''WebkinzMania''']][[User talk:WebkinzMania|'''Talk''']][[Special:Contributions/WebkinzMania|'''Contributions''']][[Special:Editcount/WebkinzMania|'''Editcount''']] 18:13, 16 January 2013 (EST)

OK now I see what you mean. I will post them now on the Gag section. It will take me a bit longer to restore the pages to their original state, which only had a couch gag description. [[User:EximiusMx|EximiusMx]] 18:23, 16 January 2013 (EST)

By the way, before I start doing that. Can some one tell me how to add tabs? The New Kid on the block does not have the gag tab. I do not want to be asking for one each time I find a page like that. Thanks![[User:EximiusMx|EximiusMx]] 18:32, 16 January 2013 (EST)
:In the Tab template, i.e. {{t|Tab}}, {{t|TabA}}, {{t|TabC}} etc. just add another parameter, |gags=yes. See [[At Long Last Leave]] for an example. [[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]] 04:04, 17 January 2013 (EST)

== Image names ==

Hi! When naming images we usually try to make the image name be the same as the page name, especially when the image being uploaded is going into the page's infobox. This just makes it easier for people when they're making image galleries. :) --[[User:Nick97|'''Nick97''']] ([[User talk:Nick97|'''talk''']] ~ [[Special:Contributions/Nick97|'''contribs''']]) 19:18, 17 August 2012 (EDT)

== Couch gags ==

I don't think the couch gags you've uploaded should belong in the main episode article. Prehaps the gag sub-article if the episode has it. I suggest you go ask an admin, but I don't think putting the couch gag in the main article is a good idea. -- [[User:WebkinzMania|'''WebkinzMania''']][[User talk:WebkinzMania|'''Talk''']][[Special:Contributions/WebkinzMania|'''Contributions''']][[Special:Editcount/WebkinzMania|'''Editcount''']] 18:13, 16 January 2013 (EST)

OK now I see what you mean. I will post them now on the Gag section. It will take me a bit longer to restore the pages to their original state, which only had a couch gag description. [[User:EximiusMx|EximiusMx]] 18:23, 16 January 2013 (EST)

By the way, before I start doing that. Can some one tell me how to add tabs? [[The New Kid on the block]] does not have the gag tab. I do not want to be asking for one each time I find a page like that. Thanks![[User:EximiusMx|EximiusMx]] 18:32, 16 January 2013 (EST)

"'''Three Men and a Comic Book'''" is the twenty-first episode of [[season 2]]. It originally aired on May 9, 1991. The episode features references to comic book characters such as ''Casper the Friendly Ghost'' and ''Richie Rich'' and introduces new characters including [[Comic Book Guy]], [[Radioactive Man]], and [[Mrs. Glick]].

== Synopsis ==
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] becomes obsessed with buying the first issue of Radioactive Man, but can't scrape together the $100 he needs to make it his own. Enlisting [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] and [[Martin Prince, Jr.]], Bart is finally able to buy the comic, but ends up fighting with his two best friends over who gets to keep it.

== Plot ==
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] attends a comic book convention and finds the first issue of [[Radioactive Man]] at [[The Android's Dungeon]] sale table for $100. He doesn't have enough money in his own allowance and his parents refuse to give Bart extra money. So Bart turns to [[Mrs. Glick]], who has some rather unsavory chores around the house that he can do, but she only gives him 50 cents for his hard work. Bart returns to the comic book store, only with a few cents extra, and runs into [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] and [[Martin Prince|Martin]]. He talks them into pooling their money and buying the first Radioactive Man Comic from Comic Book Guy. None of them want to let the comic book out of their sights and decide to spend the night together in Bart's treehouse. As a storm approaches, Martin devises a plan so that the three boys have equal access to the comic. As he attempts to leave with the comic, Bart stops him. Bart gets progressively more paranoid and becomes convinced that the other two are conspiring against him.

Eventually, each boy is at each other's throat. When Martin gets up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, Bart thinks he plans on stealing the comic book and subsequently ties him up. Meanwhile a storm is raging outside. Milhouse falls out of the treehouse as a gust of wind takes hold of the comic so that it flies towards the entrance. Bart reaches out to grab Milhouse by the hand. He is forced to decide between Milhouse and the comic. After mulling over his options, Bart chooses Milhouse and pulls him up into the treehouse. The comic flies out the door, is zapped by lightning, and shredded by Santa's Little Helper.

The next morning, the three boys reflect on how their inability to share lead to the destruction of the comic book. However, they never noticed that the final panel was not shredded and was peacefully being a nest mat for a mother bird.
