The Simpsons Episode Recap: "Homer the Whopper"

In The Simpsons' 21st season premiere, it's discovered that Comic Book Guy (CBG) has been writing his own comic book entitled "Everyman" for the past several years. Once the "Ginormous" movie studio catches wind of the comic, they are convinced it will be the next big thing and secure the movie rights. Against the studio execs' wishes, Comic Book Guy casts Homer (Springfield's own everyman) as the lead in the feature film. Will Homer continue his streak of being the butt of everyone's jokes or will he be the best action hero the movie community has ever seen?

Premise: Matt Groening's subversive, animated satire about Springfield's hapless first family stumbling through life became a cult favorite soon after premiering on Fox in 1989. Not since `The Flintstones' in the '60s has a cartoon series drawn such a large adult audience, and, ay caramba, given us pop-culture expressions for the ages. `The Simpsons' was originally seen in 1987 as a short on `The Tracey Ullman Show.' It has since become television's longest-running comedy and has received 18 Emmys.
