The Flaming Moe revitalizes business, turning Moe's Tavern into the hottest spot in Springfield, and causing Homer's and Moe's relationship to splinter.

    Overall, this episode was great, I loved Bart's prank call for "Hugh Jass" (huge ass)

  • In the immortal words of Comic Book Guy, this is "Best Episode Ever." It has withstood the test of time, even after it has aired two decades.

    "Flaming Moe's" was worth it just to see Edna Krabappel in those bicycle shorts in the scene where she hits on Aerosmith's drummer, Joey. Those bike shorts should be Edna's everyday wear instead of that drab skirt she wears to Springfield Elementary. Better yet, Edna herself should be a rock musician, playing guitar in her own band and starring in her own spinoff series. It couldn't do any worse than Cleveland Show or Bob's Burgers.moreless

    In this episode, Homer leaves the house to go to Moe's during Lisa's slumber party. While there, Homer shows Moe a new drink he invented called "Flaming Homer." Soon, Moe steals Homer's recipe and claims it as his own, winning millions of fans and even the attention of Aerosmith. One company, a restuarnt brand based around alcohol, continually offers to buy the recipe for a million dollars. For the first couple of times, Moe says no to them, but his new waitress/girlfriend convinces him to sell it and give half to Homer. Overall, this was a pretty good season 3 episode, it had me glued to the screen in wonder of what would happen next, and it was funny, so I would reccomend it. 9/10 A-moreless

It wasn't until they found out the episode was titled "Flaming Moe's" that they decided to do a guest spot. On top of that, the band's manager at the time, John Kalodner, was requested by the band to be animated in at the table. Edit
    • Colette was to be voiced by Catherine O'Hara, but the producers preferred Jo Ann Harris' reading better. This also marks Harris' last episode. Edit

(Flaming Moe's…) And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away… Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away… Edit
