7G10 - Homer's Night Out (March 25, 1990)

Summary: Homer gets photographed by Bart while dancing with a stripper at a stag party.

References to Time:
- At the beginning of the episode, Homer has an assistant named Eugene Fisk who made a fool of himself to a girl who worked in another dept at an office party
- Homer is 239 lbs at the beginning
- 6 months later, Eugene Fisk (Homer's supervisor) is marrying the girl
- Homer says the party is "this Friday"
- Every day for the last 6 months, Bart has pestered the mail carrier

References to Other Episodes:
- Bart smashes his pre-smashed piggy bank (Homer smashed it in Homer's Odyssey)

SLH Presence:
- SLH is not present

Minimum Time Spanned: 1 morning, followed by 6 months later, 2 days (Thursday-Friday), cut to 3 days later (Monday - Wednesday)

Canon: Apu doesn't know Homer, contradicting later episodes showing that they've known each other before Maggie was born. So, that part is not canon (although at the moment, it is unrefuted).

Favorite Moment: Bart: "Uh-oh, it's the fe-mailman" Lisa: "Fe-mail carrier, Bart"

Review: I don't particularly like this episode. The premise is very odd. Why do people care so much about the picture of Homer? Maybe 1990 was a different time, but it just doesn't translate well to today. The moral is okay, but the Marge/Homer rocky-relationship plot is better executed in later episodes. D
