User Reviews

Absolute classic episode,one of their finest,

Flaming Moes is one of my favorite Simpsons episodes,its a laugh from start to finish.

Homer teaches Moe how to make his favorite homemade alcoholic drink,the "Flaming Homer",but Moe steals the recipe (cough syrup and light it on fire)and calls it the Flaming Moe and changes his bars name to Flaming Moes and,it becomes a huge success ,he starts making a lot more money than before and even gets Aerosmith (guest starring)to play at the tavern.
