    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When the episode was being written, many writers' contracts had just expired, so there was a small number of writers at the annual story retreat. Al Jean was very nervous about how they could write a whole new season with such a small crew. In addition, there were several scenes added after the animatic, making the schedule even tighter. However, Jon Vitti was very committed to this episode and pitched almost the entire plot by himself.
    • Goofs
      The safety pins used on the cloth diaper Barney is wearing disappear and reappear between shots. They completely vanish when the wind carries his diaper away.
    • Quotes

      Total Disaster Insurance Man: Now, before I give you the check, one more question: ah, this place Moe's you left right before the accident, this is this a business of some kind?

      Homer's Mind: Don't tell him you were at a bar!

      [gasps]

      Homer's Mind: But what else is open at night?

      Homer: It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography.

      Homer's Mind: Heh, heh, heh. I would never have thought of that.

    The only true Catwoman is...
    Homer starts a snowplough business.

    This is a strong episode with some enjoyable character moments.

    This one is in the mould of 'Flaming Moe's' with a strong narrative about Homer in conflict with another regular character, and it is supported by good humour and pop culture references.

    My favourite moments include the flashback Homer and Barney's youth, all the movie references, the radio dial gag, Adam West's cameo, and Homer's arty commercial.

    For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
