Judge Me Tender is the twenty-third episode and season finale of Season 21.
Plot
At an ugly dog contest, Krusty is realized to be a horrible judge and Moe makes cracks about his judging. Krusty decides to have Moe judge and he turns to be mean, yet hilarious. The Springfieldians cheer at Moe's judging, however, Santa's Little Helper (named Satan's Little Helper) doesn't appreciate the fact he won, even though he was revealing a painted butt. Moe decides to judge around Springfield and he is soon asked to go into professional judging, choosing to go to American Idol. Unfortunately, he has to close down his bar, upsetting Homer and the gang.
Homer spends a lot of time at home with Marge, driving her crazy with him appearing in her locations. Moe meets Simon at Hollywood and Simon warns him that even though his mean judging is hilarious, he could get emotionally scarred by losing his friends and family. Moe decides to keep it low and be helpful but semi-mean. Meanwhile, Homer really drives Marge crazy and she drags him to a sports bar, saying "he deserves a treat after staying at home."
Moe judges his first episode of American Idol, complimenting one of the competitors on a revised 'Happy Birthday' along with Randy, Kara, and Ellen. Simon, however, reverts back to his old ways and Moe realizes he's been double-crossed. He threatens to break his voice box and is banned from going to California ever again. Homer, however, is forced out of the sports bar and Marge puts him in golf. Soon, a senior comes up to Marge and tells her that if Homer plays, he'll forget about birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and more. Marge decides to take Homer home and have sex.
