    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In one of his many characteristic anachronisms, Mr Burns thinks that Homer is a reporter for Collier's magazine, which ceased publication in 1957.
    • Goofs
      Homer states that Mr. Burns hasn't fired him "even after three meltdowns and one China syndrome". But Mr. Burns fired Homer in Simpson Tide (1998) -- the previous episode.
    • Quotes

      Homer Simpson: [Homer doing his taxes] Okay, Marge, if anyone asks: You require 24-hour nursing care, Lisa's a clergyman, Maggie is seven people, and Bart was wounded in Vietnam.

    Wonderful stuff
    Homer has to work undercover for the FBI and spy on Mr Burns having bungled his tax return in this lovely 9th series episode of the show.

    Full of brilliant Homer moments (him not wanting to walk, him cracking under pressure from the IRS) but it's also nice to see him interacting with Mr Burns.

    The Simpsons was at the top of its game at this stage of its run, and this episode is a prime example of why.
