Storyline

A new comic store opens in Springfield, which drives The Android's Dungeon out of business. Marge uses the space to open a gym for regular women, Shapes. Shapes becomes a runaway success. When Homer accompanies Marge on a business trip, he meets a group of handsome, muscled men. These men insist that Homer get into shape, because otherwise Marge will leave him. In hopes of making quick changes to his physique, Homer turns to a plastic surgeon. Written by Ken Miller <wkmiller704@yahoo.com>

Great episode with a small role from Jack Black,
2 July 2010 | by (Ireland) – See all my reviews

The Simpsons episode husbands and knives is a great episode with a small role from Jack Black.

When Bart and Milhouse get sick of the way Comic Book Guy treats everyone who comes to the store they start going to a new one across the street owned by a guy called Milo (Jack Black).

Meanwhile Marge starts to feel uncomfortable about her weight so she starts to take a gym,but it turns out to not be the place for her so she opens up a womens only gym called SHAPES.
