      First appearance and speaking role of Dr Marvin Monroe in many years. The actor portraying him says the voice is physically painful to perform and they scratched the character early on in the series.

      When Homer is at his second job as a car salesman, he uses a plug to make the inflatable mascot to work. When the inflatable mascot rips of and floats off into the sky, the shot afterward shows the plug is now gone.
    • Quotes

      Homer Simpson: I'll have to read Marge's book. And I swore never to read again after 'To Kill a Mockingbird' gave me no useful advice on killing mockingbirds. It did teach me not to judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do me?

    Brownie break!
    Homer becomes an ambulance driver and Marge writes a romantic novel in this fun episode from the 15th series.

    It's an episode that mixes the silly with the heartfelt, and is all the better for it.

    Another good episode from S15,which seems to be stabilising after a run of duds.
