TREEHOUSE OF HORROR 9
- A hell-raising hair-transplant turns harmless Homer into a homicidal hatchetman in Hell Toupee! In The Terror of Tiny Town! A radioactive remote zaps Bart & Lisa into Itchy & Scratchy's cartoon universe, where the stakes are not only life and death, they're sharp and pointy! Jerry Springer presides, as Kang, a drooling alien from Rigel 7, dukes it out with Homer over Maggie's paternity in Starship Poopers.
THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY
- He who shoots first laughs best! Fearing for the safety of his family in the face of a soccer-inspired citywide orgy of destruction, Homer buys a handgun.

NATURAL BORN KISSERS
- Rock the Casbah! While trying to jump-start the old marriage, Homer and Marge discover the exhilarating private rush of almost-public snuggling. No part of Springfield is off-limits in this hilariously shameful saga of prickly hay lofts, erotic holes of miniature golf, clothing-optional hot-air balloons, and spectator-filled stadiums!
GRAMPA vs SEXUAL INADEQUACY
- This'll put the wowzers back in your trousers! The magnificent medicinal miracle of Grampa's Revitalising Tonic saves Homer's marriage - but at what cost?! THRILL to the vibrating sarcophagus of the Pharaoh's Chamber! WITNESS the vengeful love between father and son!! DRINK a cheap substitute for holy water!!!
