The Simpsons (animation)/Recap/S01/E04 There's No Disgrace Like Home

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Homer is horribly embarrassed by the rest of his family at Mr. Burns' company picnic; Bart and Lisa are horrible brats while Marge gets smashed on the slightly alcoholic punch. Back home, he announces that he wants them to become a healthier family, the efforts for which ultimately lead to a classic scene of the whole family giving each other shock therapy.

  • Early Installment Weirdness: As noted in the commentary, everything about the episode is wrong compared to what the show soon became, with Homer as the concerned family man embarrassed by the rest of the family. Only Bart is anything close to his regular personality.
