This episode was the last episode to be shown in the UK of season 22 during August, 2011. If all Season 10 episodes were as good as this, it might just be better than Season 9. If you're a fan of the prime, classic seasons (how couldn't you be?) then I'm quite sure you'll enjoy this episode, if only on a few levels.
The Toronto Star named Homer's conversation with Darryl Strawberry as the "greatest conversation of all time, involving the word yes". Ken Griffey Jr. became frustrated while recording his line "there's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited" because he had trouble understanding it. He was directed by Mike Reiss, and his father Ken Griffey Sr. was also present, trying to coach his son. Roger Clemens, who made his own chicken noises, was directed by Jeff Martin, as was Wade Boggs. Mike Scioscia accepted his guest spot in "half a second," while Ozzie Smith has said he would like to guest star again "so can get out ".

While the two laugh, Scratchy's head asks why Bart and Lisa are laughing to which Itchy replies that they are laughing at his misfortune. Scratchy re-attaches his head to his body, declares what the duo did was very mean, and forms a partnership with Itchy to "teach them a lesson they will never forget", and begin to attack Bart and Lisa. But as they try to escape, the hated character Poochie passes by, but he is run down by their car.
Fearing he'd lose ownership rights to those characters, he drew up the Simpsons' original design as a replacement at the last minute. While cutting the hair of Helen Lovejoy, she mentions that her husband has been basing sermons on old episodes of Seinfeld. Upon failing to "suck" at cutting her hair at the suggestion of Lenny, Homer decides to attempt to commit barbicide.
High Heat Review: Solid Action & A Good Cast Can’t Save This Film
The Simpsons made its official debut on Fox in 1989, and has since become the longest-running American sitcom, and has successfully expanded to other media, most notably comic books and film. The Simpsonsis responsible for many of TV's most recognizable characters, yet many people probably never noticed Homer's head hides a secret set of initials. Since the series began, the citizens of Springfield have risen to iconic status in pop culture. Given their caricatured nature, most of the characters are easy to draw. The laboriously diverse Homer especially is so familiar he could be drawn from memory by most people.
It’s only natural to think, if you were so concerned with positive depictions of gay characters, why the super-evil Smithers? Well, Smithers hadn’t sorted out his personal stuff yet, and we hadn’t sorted out our thoughts on Smithers yet. At this point he just feared being replaced as Mr. Burns’ golden boy — the most terrifying thing that could ever happen to him and something he’d go to any lengths to prevent.

Treehouse of Horror IX
This is a reference to the reunion episode of Seinfeld from Curb Your Enthusiasm, which has a joke about barbers killing themselves by drinking comb disinfectant. After Bart and Lisa accidentally throw paint into Patty's hair, Homer uses garden shears to cut the remaining hair, miraculously styling it. Selma demands that Homer style her hair as well, and he soon becomes Springfield's most popular hairdresser. Soon, he is styling hair for Helen Lovejoy, Luann Van Houten, Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon and numerous other women in Springfield.
In a parody of the 1989 horror film, Shocker and the Amazing Stories episode, Hell Toupee, Snake is arrested for smoking inside the Kwik-E-Mart. He is buying a comb and uses nacho cheese as hair gel, before lighting up a cigarette in a no-smoking area. Before hauling Snake away, Chief Wiggum helpfully points out that Apu, Moe and Bart are all witnesses to Snake's infraction; Snake threatens to kill all of them. Snake is executed in the electric chair on World's Deadliest Executions, hosted by Ed McMahon and proudly broadcast on Fox.
Fearing he would lose the rights to his most successful characters, Groening came up with a new batch as replacements. On a tight schedule, he threw together an early sketch of the Simpson family and Fox executives went for it. The time crunch coupled with the beginning of their future-telling sitcom influenced their appearance going forward - hair included. In its original American broadcast on May 8, 2011, "Homer Scissorhands" was viewed by an estimated 5.480 million households and received a 2.5 rating/8% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49.
Burns gives Homer his old job back, sympathizing with him having male pattern baldness like Burns does. (We generally tried hard to avoid bad sitcom habits anyway.) So in “Simpson and Delilah,” dimoxinil works wonderfully, and it gets Homer hair, respect and a better life. Karl was originally supposed to return for a cameo appearance in the season 14 episode "Three Gays of the Condo". In the script, Homer was thrown out of the house by Marge, and encountered Karl. The purpose of the appearance was to introduce a gay couple that Homer would live with. Fierstein however felt that "the script was a lot of very clever gay jokes, and there just wasn't that Simpsons twist" and turned the role down.
This means that it was seen by 2.5% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 8% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast. This marked a 7 percent drop in the ratings from the previous episode. The next day, Homer loses all his hair, as he had to keep putting the drug on his head. Before the meeting, Karl appears with a prepared speech for Homer and reassures him that all his accomplishments were due to his will and effort, not the hair. Homer gives his speech, but the audience refuses to take him seriously because he has no hair and walks out on him.
Their current design dates back to the mid-90s, with only slight clothing alterations made in the meantime. Since then, Simpson's family patriarch Homer has contained a neat Easter egg in the form of initials on his head. They're not noticeable at first glance, but a critical eye unveils the subtle letters. He is currently attending the University At Buffalo for a Bachelor's in Film Studies and has been studying film independently for years. He has also delved into the tedious world of stop-motion animation, putting together a handful of short films. Of course, when he needs to wind down his Xbox controller is never far away.
The two letters are the initials of the series' creator, Matt Groening, who is also responsible for "Jerkass" Homer's design. The Simpson family has been tweaked only a handful of times since their creation in the late 1980s. Their early rendition on The Tracey Ullman Show was quite different from their modern one. They looked angrier, with pointy features and a hand-drawn quality to them. Over the years they smoothed out the kinks, finding their proper form evenwithout their original cat.
