Homer Simpson

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.

It's a camping misadventure for 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 am mud pile.

Plot

Bart is annoyed both at having to mow the law with a muscle-powered mower and the material wealth of the Flanders, particularly when he sees Rod Flanders on a rider mower. Homer tells Bart it is not the Simpsons' job to keep up with the Flanders, until he see neighbor Ned Flanders' expensive new mobile home. Now jealous too, Homer goes to Bob's RV Round-Up to buy one of his own. However, Homer's credit score is poor, and he only qualifies for a dilapidated one, which is the least expensive one on Bob's car lot. Thrilled with the new Campervan, Homer takes his family on an excursion. Driving on remote back roads, he loses control of the camper and comes to a halt on the edge of a cliff. The family abandons the vehicle just before it plummets into an abyss.

Stranded in the wilderness, Homer and Bart set out for civilization, unaware that baby Maggie is tagging along. Separated from Homer and Bart, Maggie is soon adopted by a family of bears. Homer and Bart lose their clothes in a fast-moving river and use plants and mud to cover themselves. A nature photographer, mistaking Homer for Bigfoot, videos some badly shot footage and flees. Soon the forest is inundated with Bigfoot hunters and souvenir stands. Reporters find Marge and warn her about the hideous creature roaming the woods. When she sees the picture of Homer, Marge identifies the grotesque monster as her husband.

Cold and near exhaustion, Homer is captured by hunters, shot with a tranquilizer gun, and taken to a lab for tests. Based on Marge's earlier statements, they feed Homer lots of pork chops. Scientists observe Homer, but are unsure if he is Bigfoot or a below-average human being. They allow Homer to return to his family. The episode ends with Homer and Marge in bed watching a press conference where they said that Homer is either "a really stupid human being", or an "intelligent beast". Homer is enraged that he was treated like a lab specimen and mocked in public, but Marge consoles him by saying "Good night, intelligent beast". "
