That particular idea culminated in his shooting. Now, Burns knows that Homer exists. He doesn't necessarily know who he is off the top of his head.

only 21 and can't do that al the time. :)

He didn't address him until later on in the episode, but he at least knew he worked at the plant. He cares because he needed someone to pretend he was buds with to impress Gloria.

On Sun, 2 Dec 2001, Matt Garvey stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -

That's almost news to me too - how often have we seen him there recently?

Not that he ever actually *worked* while there, of course! :)

I think the first episode Burns called Homer by his name and not prompted by Smithers was "Monty Can't Buy Me Love."

BURNS [walking in on Homer who's juggling fuel rods]: "Homer, I need your help. I want to be loved." HOMER: "I see.... Well, I'll need some beer."

This was a Season 10 episode.

Yes, but Burns got Homer's name off a clipboard before he said it.
