Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSmithers first appears in the episode "Homer's Odyssey" where he is shown being apparently African-American. However, in his second appearance, There's No Disgrace Like Home (1990), he appears as having a yellow complexion, which remains throughout the rest of the series. In "There's No Disgrace Like Home," Lou the policeman is depicted not as African-American (as he later appears), but as Simpson-Caucasian (yellow).
- GoofsWhen Marge and the kids catch up with Homer on the bridge just before he jumps, she says, "Gasp! Oh, Homer, how could you think of killing yourself? We love you!" but the movement of her mouth suggests she is saying something entirely different.

Featured review
The Human Spirit
Bart observes his father's incompetence as the old man loses his job at the power plant. Home drops into a state of deep malaise. An incident on a bridge leads him to make safety his number one priority and he actually gets a little involved politically (in his own shortsighted way). But it all works out pretty well and is worth a look.
