But when he suspects his act may be going stale, he announces that he'll perform the greatest stunt possible -- a leap off of SPRINGFIELD GORGE! Written by Daniel Timothy Dey

My first Simpson Episode i saw. Homer is the funniest man on the planet.
13 June 2006 | by (London) – See all my reviews

The Simpsons is one of the Best Programmes on Television. This is the first episode i ever watched. After watching just this one episode, i had to see more. I don't usually enjoy watching cartoons, but Simpsons is full of mature jokes. Homer Simpson is the funniest Person on Television. I have seen almost every Simpson episode, and this one is among the classics. Originally, Bart was the main character in the series. Since it was a Big Hit and Homer grew hugely popular. Homer and Bart provide the best Episodes with plenty of laughs. Episodes based on Lisa Simpson are quite boring. The funniest scene in this episode is the ending, where Homer falls of Springfield Gorge twice.
