Simpson and Delilah

The second episode of the second season of the Simpsons is another strong episode thanks to a great story which involves Homer having hair and a fiery guest star voiced by Harvey Fierstein. It may be debated whether the issue of homosexuality is being crossed or not, especially for his time period. But that issue doesn't bother me too much.

This episode, "Homer and Delilah," has Homer using a new hair product which enables him to grow lots of hair. Using his new hairstyle, he gets a promotion at work and becomes friendly with Mr. Burns.

Overall, this is a very solid episode and continues what the first episode started. A very strong episode that is also one of my favorites. For those who love Homer, this episode is for them. I rate this episode 9/10.

Homer has had a quest to find a way to restore his hair. When he finds one, the cost is exorbitant. But he puts the cost on his medical insurance. Soon he becomes a shining star in the company (with the help of a strange man). Of course, the writers show us that once again it is all about being superficial, no productive or competent.

Fun little Homer-centered episode wherein he discovers a miracle medical breakthrough in regards to male pattern baldness. Only, he can't afford it! What ever will he do? Not one of the best episodes out there but still enjoyable.

Homer gets hair and an assistant in a wonderful episode from the second series of the show.

Full of heart and warmth this for me, is the show at its best.

A wonderful twenty or so minutes

"Simpson and Delilah" is a heartwarming episode that stands out for its beautiful use of music. Throughout the episode, the music enhances the emotional moments, even reacting negatively to certain events, such as when Homer meets the pharmacist in the alley.

A particularly beautiful scene involves a ringing bell, with Homer joyfully running in slow motion and then collapsing onto a bed of flowers. His children express their love, a moment reminiscent of a heartfelt movie scene. While I can't pinpoint the exact film they're parodying, the way they make the scene their own is stunning.

The emotional depth of the episode reaches its peak with Marge consoling Homer in the touching final moments. Additionally, the introduction of Karl, Homer's new assistant after his promotion to executive, is brilliantly conceived. The character adds a unique layer to the storyline, making "Simpson and Delilah" a standout episode in the series.
