Homer's Night Out (S01, E10-010)

Dear God, that jiggling.  Not even talking about the lady.
Plot Summary
Homer attends a bachelor party of his supervisor who was formerly his assistant six months ago.  For some reason its at the same restaurant Marge and the kids go to, but in a mostly private room.  Bart, having acquired a spy camera earlier in the episode, catches Homer dancing with the party's "entertainment", and the picture slowly but then rapidly spreads the next day.  Marge eventually catches wind of it, and throws Homer out of the house for the night, then the next day realizes that she's mad mostly because Bart was the one who took the picture and Homer was giving Bart a bad message by objectifying women.  So she has Homer go apologize to the lady in front of Bart so he can learn that women are people too, which involves hijinks of its own.

Quick Review
So in the previous review, the one for Life in the Fast Lane, I mentioned how there have been a lot of marriage-themed episodes throughout the series history.  This episode almost qualifies for that, but not quite.  Oh sure, Marge gets extremely upset at Homer, but the marriage itself wasn't in danger.  Probably.

Like Life on the Fast Lane, this episode doesn't really have too much humor going for it opting instead for the lesson.  The ending was a bit weird too (somehow Marge was at the last place Homer went to look for the dancer and saw Homer dance but then apologize for it and give the lesson).  In all, it was an okay episode, but nothing spectacular.

Also, for those of you who love continuity, at the beginning of the episode, Bart scrounges up money to buy the spy camera.  He does so by busting up his piggy bank for change.  That piggy bank, previously busted by Homer in Homer's Odyssey, is seen here all taped up back together.  It leads a hard life...

Final Score: 6.6
