Homer & Marge 2nd Honeymoon

I just saw this episode a few days ago on a local channel. Marge and Homer are at the airport and decide to ditch their flight and take another one, filled with young honeymooners. They end up at some childless resort somewhere, make fun of the yuppies who think "childbearing will be a snap, what with all the corporate flex time and what not".

Bart & Lisa make it their mission to ruin their fun, catch up with Homer & Marge, so the parents catch a cab and get the hell out of there. Homer & Marge use Ned Flander's credit card to escape the kids, while the kids use Rod Flander's "Viza" to follow them.

Homer is on the "pot" and has a dream of the chase. The dream takes place in this weird visual and musical style, something out of the 60's. My question to you fine folks, is, what style is that? What's it called? Just wondering. Thanks.

That would be a parody of Catch Me If You Can, with Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Steven Spielberg. I enjoyed it very much, and the music and art in the parody are from the opening titles.

It is an homage or take-off of the opening credits of "Catch Me If You Can" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264464/) - although, those credits may have been inspired by something earlier, I can't say.

Oh, yes. "Catch 'Em If You Can". That was one seriously bad episode. The whole thing was pretty bizzare, but that wasn't the problem. What made it bad was how incredibly out of character Marge was. We've all complained about jerkass Homer, but this was the first and only episode in which we've had jerkass Marge.

IMO, this episode was one of the two bombs of season 15(the other being Margical History Tour).
