The Mansion Family

Production code: BABF08 Original Airdate: 23-Jan-2000

Synopsis

Britney Spears is a guest voice as the Simpsons housesit for Mr. Burns. It all starts at the Springfield Pride Awards (hosted by Spears and Kent Brockman), where Burns is saluted for being Springfield's oldest man. The dubious honor prompts the billionaire to get a checkup at the Mayo Clinic, and he chooses Homer to watch the mansion, figuring the employee is "due for a good performance." Well, not so fast, money breath. Homer turns Burns's yacht (the "Gone Fission") into Party Central on a voyage with his pals in international waters, "the land that law forgot." Meanwhile, doctors find Burns has "everything" - but "in perfect balance."

Title Sequence

• Blackboard: CLASS CLOWN IS NOT A PAID POSITION
• Couch: Role reversal time. The family runs to the couch, but Bart and Lisa are now the adults, while Homer and Marge are the children. Maggie is the same size she always is. Homer carries her to the couch, and reaches for the remote when he sits. Lisa slaps his wrist, and takes the remote. Homer sounds disappointed.
