Father Knows Worst
Episode #LABF08

Homer tries to solve Bart and Lisa's academic and social problems with a bit of overparenting; meanwhile, if anybody is looking for Marge, she's probably in the sauna in the basement.

Sounds interesting. As usual, I'll have to wait for it to hit Hulu.

Firestar007

Cool looking forward to seeing it. Homer dealing with Bart and Lisa

I liked the couch gag, and what a coincidence that Amazing Race also had a swimming challenge, minus the floating body

Grilka

Argh, I forgot to mention this earlier....be sure to watch the closing credits. It features an acappella group.

I liked the acappella group during the closing credit. It was nice way to end a pretty good episode. I always enjoy the fatherhood struggles of Homer episodes and last night`s episode was one of the best recent ones.

We saw another glimpse of creepy Moe, albeit in Marge's mind.

wanderer78

I liked that a lot. That was cool.

I liked Marge and Homer at the end with Marge using Duff beer for the sauna. It was a nice change of pace for Marge to be the non chalant one and Homer be the worried one.

at Otto buying all that glue but never a model.

I think they could have done more with the helicopter parents theme.

Got to see the episode yesterday.

I liked the couch gag it was funny with them swimming to the couch and then Homer not making it

The acappella group was great I enjoyed it!

Hilarious how Marge's hair poofed with the sauna heat She had a huge blue afro.

It was great when she was thinking what would happen if she told Homer of the sauna that he would invite Lenny, Carl, Moe (being a pervert in Marge's thought)

I love how Homer became the overbearing parent with Bart and Lisa. It was hilarious when he was acting like a helicopter

Otto by the airplane glue and the cashier telling him that he sure does buy a lot of glue and never buys any airplanes and then gets some and just throws them away after he walks out of the store

Is that a term - helicopter parents?

Now how ironic is it that Homer was dreaming of people like Chaucer and Wilde while building Westminster Abbey?

wanderer78

Cyn, it's a real term. Helicopter Parents

Liz, I loved the blue afro.

Firestar007

Wow I thought it was just a made up term

Love how we saw practically all the parents hovering over their kids.

I loved it that Homer was dreaming of those people, loved seeing Wilde

The blue afro was hilarious

Grilka

Interesting read - thanks for the link, Pia! We did see parents hovering like helicopters, but Homer actually made the helicopter sounds

Firestar007

I loved that Homer made the helicopter sounds, only Homer
