When Homer and Marge are naked and there are lawn ornaments covering their privates.... Homer looks at the lawn ornament covering his wee-wee and says "Marge I don't trust these guys!" LOL! Or what about when they're at the church with the glass ceiling and Naked Homer is moving across it! Excellent! Did this episode air before or after The Simpsons "jumped the shark"? Or has The Simpsons jumped the shark?

How can anyone vote "Cape Fear" as a JTS moment?

El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer was bad...

Cape Feare wasn't.

Cape Feare was great, not arguing that, but El Viaje was hi-larious.

Phil, "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer" was not bad. I mean, come on, Guatemalean Insanity Peppers, Hot Pants and the Sun breaking add up to a classic ep, especially when compared to the travesty that was seasons 11 & 12. So take that, Space Coyote!

I liked it, or maybe I've brained my damage?

Simple guess, but my guess would be (if it's the ep I'm thinking of) because of the time-filling scene with Sideshow Bob and the rakes. THAT was stupid.

I don't know why everyone keeps bashing that scene. I know it was a time filler, but because it went on so long, it was funny... to me, at least.

Knowing that it was a time filler makes it less funny? Maybe, I really don't know. I thought it was funny too.

It was funny, but just knowing that it was only there for one purpose - that they couldn't think of anything else to do with that time - just ruins it for me. Jumping the shark doesn't mean that when it happens, it can't be in a good episode or it can't be funny, it's just the point at which the show started to be past its prime. Not that I think the Simpsons are there.

My favorite brilliant moment was when Homer and Bart were watching the Thanksgiving day parade on TV. They turned to talk to each other, and missed the Bart Simpson blimp going by on TV.
