(se20ep01) “Sex, Pies & Idiot Scrapes”

In the 20th season opener Homer Simpson becomes a bounty hunter after getting arrested at a St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Marge also finds that her St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes are wanted by a local baker, so he invites her to cook for him.

After almost getting himself killed, Homer teams up with Ned Flanders to become a bounty hunting tag team.

Marge discovers that the bakery she’s started working for is an erotic bakery, and is eventually persuaded into continuing to work there after initially objecting.

Homer and Ned’s bounty hunting goes – semi-well at fist – but after getting a warrant for Fat Tony Homer breaks a few too many laws and the two decide to dissolve the partnership.

Marge reveals her job to Homer – which he is initially upset about, but forgives when she recommends that the two of them take a cake to bed.

Ned goes to the bail bond office to let them know that he’s out of the bounty hunting game, when they give him one last job – catching Homer, who didn’t make his court appearance from the parade.

Ned hunts down homer in a Bond-esq city hopping escapade. Ultimately the two end up up to their necks in wet cement, and Homer has to spend the night in jail.

Marge sends him a cake that says “To The Love of My Life”.

Like many Simpsons episodes over the last few years, this episode was amusing, but not memorable. It’s still nice to have new adventures of “The Simpsons” but the show isn’t quite what it used to be.
