http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/08/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----October-7th.aspx THE SIMPSONS: Whatever else he is, Homer’s got his heart in the right place as a dad. After the last bottle of milk is spilled, he drives all the way to Guidopolis to get some, and ends up on a wild towing adventure. Meanwhile, Marge decides Maggie’s become too clingy, so with Bart and Lisa’s help, she signs up for a counseling program on the Internet designed to help her raise independent children. Considering how the first two turned out, the mind boggles at how Maggie might develop. Anyway, since Homer isn’t particularly fulfilled as a FUBAR consultant or whatever the hell his official job is, he is enthralled with the romance of driving a tow truck, and takes over the Springfield territory. Surprisingly, despite a few missteps, he’s not too bad at it … although he’s a little overzealous, particularly when he tows that helicopter. In flight. Soon enough, though, the good people of Springfield are in revolt, and things don’t look good for Homer. Marge has other worries than Homer, however; the counseling program for Maggie works too well, and her independence leaves Marge in the sad, lonely dust of obsolescence. But, it all works out: Maggie takes the initiative to rescue Homer from the clutches of the mad tow truck driver that took him prisoner (Matt Dillon). en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/08/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----October-7th.aspx 77 60
