When Homer lets Fat Tony make a porno film in the house, Marge doesn't get mad, she gets out...and meets up with a marine biologist (voiced by Alec Baldwin)

Can't wait for the season premiere

Seen the promo for the episode it looks good.

**Quarterley** · 09-09-2005, 12:34 PM

Haha. Premiere sounds funny.

There's a clip available on Yahoo!TV where Marge is trapped in a phone booth, and a manatee is trying to attack her.

Firestar007 · 09-11-2005, 08:51 AM

Oh cool I'm gonna go check it out

Edit, because I just saw it

Last time Alec Baldwin made a guest appearance on the show, he played himself. It will be interesting comparing that one to this appearance where he's a character instead.

New chalkboard gag - "Do kids still do this anymore?"
New couch gag - metal detector

Great episode to start the 17th season

Yeah I noticed the chalkboard gag it made me laugh

I'm wondering that also I don't think kids do that anymore now they just make them write standards on paper.

Also liked the couch gag, is Homer made of metal?

Alec Baldwin's character here was alright, probably better than playing himself. Way too obsessed with the manatees

I loved the tattoo he had on his back

I liked that scene when Marge was getting to know the manatees and it threw up and then she was cleaning the ears. And then how at the end Homer does the same like the manatee

The scene with Homer and Fat Tony and when they were hitting Homer with a hammer

They sure know they're snuggle movies

Homer: "I thought you were the GAY Mafia"

Firestar007 · 09-13-2005, 07:25 AM

I loved that scene and everyone started hitting Homer with the hammers

I seem to be in the minority, but I wasn't very impressed with the premiere. It was good, but it wasn't Simpsons good, if that makes any sense. And it was pretty Marge-centric again...what is up with that anyway?

But I didn't like last year's premiere either, and there ended up being a lot of great episodes. So I hope that's the case this season.

Firestar007 · 09-13-2005, 01:30 PM

Susan, that's right I didn't even notice that but your right another Marge-centric episode. I wonder why that is?

Grilka · 09-13-2005, 07:03 PM

In the episode, Homer was calling the locals...rubes. What does that mean?
