Simpson and Delilah

Homer buys a hair restoration formula.

This is a very strong episode with great character based humour and satire.

As a bald man this episode is now quite close to my heart. Homer's arc is excellent and the driving factor of hair/confidence, plus the humorous take on everybody's reaction to him with and without hair is superb.

I love Homer's guardian angel, Karl, who is one of the most memorable guest characters to appear on the show. 'The Simpsons' was light years ahead of most popular culture with such a positive depiction of an implied gay character and Harvey Fierstein gives an epic voice performance.

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.

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

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.

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.
