This episode was the first episode opening to feature Homer actually being hit by Marge's car. The updated opening starting with Season 20 began showing Homer being struck by Marge's car . In a parody of Stay Tuned, Marge forbids Bart and Lisa from watching the Itchy and Scratchy Halloween special, taking the batteries out of the remote control and putting them in her purse.
The episode is often named among the show's best, and was the first to beat The Cosby Show in the ratings on its original airing. In 2014, showrunner Al Jean selected it as one of five essential episodes in the show's history. After Homer receives the key to the executive washroom, Smithers is angry that he is now in Burns' good graces while Smithers' loyal service is forgotten. Smithers attempts to get Homer fired for committing insurance fraud, but Karl takes the blame and is fired instead. Homer is nervous about giving a speech at the plant, and discovers Bart has lost the contents of the miracle hair drug. When Snake was executed for smoking in the Kwik-E-Mart claiming to be his third strike his body is taken to the Hospital to be carved up for organs.
Simpson and Delilah
He continues to help write the show and is credited with the visual aesthetic of it. He takes great pride in his work, preferring to keep his intellectual property to himself. This philosophy was indirectly responsible for the conception of The Simpsonsin the first place. When he first signed with Fox, they wanted him to adapt his Life in Hell series instead of creating a new one.
For as simple as his appearance is, there lies one aspect to it few fans notice - his hair and ear work in tandem to form a hidden signature. The episode title is a reference to the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp in the title role. During the episode, Homer tells Marge to just call him "Homer Fingerhands". Many scenes are parallels to the movie; for example the first time Homer cuts hair for money is a reference to the scene where Edward carves the ice angel with Maggie dancing as Kim does in the film.
Production
This is not only one of the best episodes of Season 10, but one of the greatest Treehouse of Horror's of all time. It delivers some great jokes, some that are mostly absent from the rest of this season. Mr. Burns makes a million-dollar bet with Aristotle Amadopolis, owner of the Shelbyville plant, that his team will win. To ensure victory, Burns attempts to hire major-league stars Cap Anson, Pie Traynor, Jim Creighton, Gabby Street, Nap Lajoie, Harry Hooper, Honus Wagner, Shoeless Joe Jackson and Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown. After Smithers informs his boss that all the players he wants have been dead for many years, Burns orders him to find living players. Homer is distraught when Wonder Bat is destroyed by a pitch from Clemens during practice.
Shortly afterwards, Burns asks Homer to give a speech to the executives. As Homer discusses the speech with Karl, Smithers meets up with them and confronts Homer about the insurance fraud, ready to fire him on the spot. However, Karl convinces Smithers that the entire scheme was his idea, and he is fired instead of Homer. Karl politely says his goodbyes to Homer, who now has to worry about the big speech without his secretary's help. When he gets home, he finds Bart using the Dimoxinil bottle, splashing the formula on his face in order to grow a beard.

Special Guest Voices
This means that it was seen by 2.5% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 8% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast. This marked a 7 percent drop in the ratings from the previous episode. The next day, Homer loses all his hair, as he had to keep putting the drug on his head. Before the meeting, Karl appears with a prepared speech for Homer and reassures him that all his accomplishments were due to his will and effort, not the hair. Homer gives his speech, but the audience refuses to take him seriously because he has no hair and walks out on him.
At home that night, Marge insists that Homer's old "dead end" job as a safety inspector has always provided for the family and the kids will get over having less than their friends. When Homer is worried about his baldness making him ugly to Marge, she sings to him "You Are So Beautiful". At an executive board meeting, Homer comes up with a way to increase worker productivity. After this, workplace safety improves and accidents decrease, which Smithers observes is because of Homer being the cause of prior accidents. Homer spends his paycheck on home improvements and plans to give the kids what they always wanted, and when Marge is concerned he should save for a rainy day, Homer dismisses it that the good times are here to stay. If Homer had been more sensitive to that fact, he might still have a full head of hair.
With the score tied and bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Burns pinch hits Homer for Strawberry, noting that fielding a right-handed hitter against a left-handed pitcher will serve to their advantage. Distracted by Burns' exaggerated gesturing, Homer is hit in the head by the first pitch, knocking him out and forcing in the winning run. The team wins the title and Homer, still unconscious, is paraded as a hero. This episode, "Homer and Delilah," has Homer using a new hair product which enables him to grow lots of hair.
Fearing he'd lose ownership rights to those characters, he drew up the Simpsons' original design as a replacement at the last minute. While cutting the hair of Helen Lovejoy, she mentions that her husband has been basing sermons on old episodes of Seinfeld. Upon failing to "suck" at cutting her hair at the suggestion of Lenny, Homer decides to attempt to commit barbicide.
It’s only natural to think, if you were so concerned with positive depictions of gay characters, why the super-evil Smithers? Well, Smithers hadn’t sorted out his personal stuff yet, and we hadn’t sorted out our thoughts on Smithers yet. At this point he just feared being replaced as Mr. Burns’ golden boy — the most terrifying thing that could ever happen to him and something he’d go to any lengths to prevent.

"Homer at the Bat" underwent a lengthy production, as the guest stars were recorded over several months in accordance with their availability. Most of the players were accommodating except for Canseco, who demanded that his part be rewritten. Meanwhile, Milhouse has a life-changing experience after watching Finding Nemo from the beginning. Previously he and Bart only watched the film from "Chapter 2", which takes place after Nemo's mother has passed on. Choosing that, since death can happen to a fish, it can happen to anyone, he plans to live each day as if it were his last. He professes his love for Lisa, despite Bart pointing out he's expressed his feelings for Lisa all the time.
First episode appearance
However, he discovers that listening to the inane chatter upsets him. He tries to quit the business, but some people demands Homer to stay. Complaining to Moe and the other barflies, Homer understands that he cannot even look at the men in the bar without seeing everything that the women dislike about them. That’s probably why I’ve been asked so many times why Karl puts up with Homer’s boorish behavior. I don’t think he finds Homer attractive; I think Karl can do way better than Homer. As I see it, Karl likes Homer, and he turns Homer into the perfect executive he can’t be because of the way people see him.
