"Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" is the fourth episode of Season 2. It aired on November 1, 1990. The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and Sam Simon while Wes Archer directed. The episode features cultural references to several American films, mostly the 1941 film "Citizen Kane", with Burns in the role of the character Charles Foster Kane.
Mr. Burns wants to run for Governor against model politician and liberal Mary Bailey. But to win the hearts of the residents of Springfield, he must prove that it isn't his plant that's mutating the fish in the lake into three-eyed radioactive monsters.
Plot
Bart and Lisa go fishing downstream of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and Springfield Shopper reporter Dave Shutton pulls up just as Bart catches a three-eyed fish, Blinky. From the resulting publicity the governor, Mary Bailey, calls for an investigation of the power plant and its owner, Montgomery Burns. After an inspection, Mr. Burns is presented with a list of over 342 violations, which would cost $56 million to rectify. Distraught, Mr. Burns talks to underperforming employee Homer Simpson who half-heartedly suggests Mr. Burns run for Governor. Mr. Burns pounces on the idea. Marge wants nothing to do with Homer's campaigning for Burns, even though Homer implies that he could move up to an executive position this way, because she believes Mr. Burns is attempting to gain political office in order to cover up problems at the plant. Homer's support for Burns divides the Simpson house because Marge and Lisa support Bailey. It is unsure whether Bart himself supports either Bailey or Burns, but he is seen wearing a "Vote for Burns" T-shirt, probably because Homer made him do so.
Burns's political advisors break the news to Burns that he is not well liked and force Burns to try being friendly and even smile. Burns also does a TV commercial, discussing Blinky with an actor portraying Charles Darwin, who claims Blinky is an evolutionary step. Combined with a smear campaign against Mary Bailey this eventually leads to Burns tying Bailey in the polls. On the night before the election, Smithers and his other advisors suggest that Burns have dinner at the Simpsons' house as an opportunity to put Burns "over the top". To everyone's surprise, Marge serves Blinky, the three-eyed fish that Bart caught, for dinner. Mr. Burns tries to act as if it doesn't bother him, but is not able to keep from spitting it out. The cameras flash as the bite flies through the air, but the press is gone and his gubernatorial campaign is over by the time the chunk hits the floor. But nevertheless, it brought the Simpson family back together again.
