    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Towards the end, Homer tells Marge: "We were so close to winning the championship. Now, thanks to Burns, it's never going to happen. And I spent so much time building that trophy case." The scene then cuts to the trophy case with an Academy Award in it that Homer has stolen, with Don Ameche's name being crossed out. In the original broadcast, it was Haing S. Ngor's name who had been crossed out. Ngor was murdered between this episode's original air date and the subsequent repeat broadcasts, and his name was changed to Ameche's because the producers were afraid it would be implied that Homer may have murdered Ngor to steal his Oscar.
    • Goofs
      During the scene where the students riot in Bart's classroom, Ralph Wiggum is shown eating paste. Ralph has repeatedly been shown to be in Lisa's class.
    • Quotes

      [after getting school uniforms]

      Bart: These uniforms suck.

      Marge: Bart, where did you pick up words like that?

      Homer: Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked. I've seen teams suck before but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

      Marge: Homer! Watch your mouth!

      Homer: I gotta go, my damn wiener kids are listening.

      Bart, Lisa: We are not wieners!

      Homer: Then why are you dressed like that for?

    • Alternate versions
      When the episode "Team Homer" (where Homer forms a bowling team) first aired on Fox, Homer displayed an Academy Award belonging to Dr. Haing S. Ngor (Best Supporting Actor 1984 for "The Killing Fields"). After Ngor was killed, the inscription was changed for a time to Don Ameche (Best Supporting Actor 1985 for "Cocoon"). The change remains in some syndicated reruns.

    10/10
    One of the finest episodes of the Simpsons
    Team Homer is probably a episode that much focuses on how much Homer really joined the Bowling team, the episode follows Bart and Milhouse finding a MAD Special and when Bart gets a T-shirt saying Down With Homework, everybody gets Down with their homework and screams around. But then when Skinner realizes that he knew it was from MAD they made all the students wear uniforms but Homer on the other hand was joined on a bowling competition by getting Money from Burns accidentally that he is hallucinating a Poppins character, then Moe, Otto and Apu are joined in the game, but when Burns joins the game because of reputation, he steals the trophy and escapes with Homer trying to get it back

    Great episode, brings me back the memories of the Simpsons, great acting and marvelous script, The humor as always funny

    10/10
