A hair-transplant turns Homer into a homicidal killer in Hell Toupee, A radioactive remote zaps Bart and Lisa into Itchy & Scratchy's cartoon universe, where the stakes are not only life and death, they're sharp and pointy in The Terror of Tiny Town and Jerry Springer presides, as Kang, a drooling alien from Rigel 7, dukes it out with Homer over Maggie's paternity in Starship Poopers...

Treehouse Of Horror 9 sees yet another classic collection of spooky Halloween stories. And this is one of the best. All are a little too spooky for their own good - I know I'll have a sleepless night after seeing Homer's hairpiece running around with a mind of its own. The final story, Starship Poopers, is not too impressive, but this is still a great collection.

 

Fearing for the safety of his family in the face of a soccer-inspired city-wide orgy of destruction, Homer buys a handgun. Fearing for the safety in the face of Homer's trigger-happy gun-crazed ways, the family flees...

The Cartridge Family has a great opening as the whole of Springfield turn out to watch a soccer game - a sport which has never taken off in the US. And with no provocation a football riot breaks out. Sounds crazy, but many UK football fan will see the irony here. The whole episode tackles the issue of the Freedom and the Constitution and the problems that a gun culture can generate.


While trying to jump-start the old marriage, Homer and Marge discover the exhilarating private rush of almost-public snuggling. No part of Springfield is off-limits including prickly hay lofts, erotic holes of miniature golf, clothing-optional hot-air balloons, and spectator-filled stadiums...

Oops! Natural Born Kissers is one of those episodes that will have you laughing out of embarrassment. Don't let the kids see this episode or you'll have a lot of explaining to do. One of those rare Simpsons episodes that will take you by surprise.

 

The magnificent medicinal miracle of Grandpa's Revitalising Tonic saves Homer's marriage - but at what cost?...

Grandpa vs Sexual Inadequacy starts with Homer unable to perform in the marital bed - much to his and Marge's frustration until Grandpa Simpson shows him how to make his own special sexual brew. It works a charm, but splits father and son. Hilarious and moving.
