    After seeing that this show has mixed reviews with the later seasons, both good and bad, and this may sound tiring, but I think I can come up with a good Simpson episode, so here goes nothing:

    When Homer had watched too many movies in one week, his personality changes as he tries to emulate the actions that the characters do in the movies, so he acts like a movie character in everyday life, and does it everywhere, even at work. Marge got him help at a therapist who helps him for one week, but in the next week, his attitude changes for the worse as he becomes a therapist (in his mind) and starts being a pest to the people in Springfield, so it's up to Marge to stop him before it affects him forever. Meanwhile, Bart and his friends are competing against a bunch of new kids who try to out do them in to gain respect (and could be friends) from a new girl that would be any boy's dream girl to be with since she's rich and beautiful, but things between Bart and Bort (I know, I can think of a better name than Bort) turn ugly of course.

    So what do you think about this episode idea, in which I call this episode "Dreaming is Believing".

    NAME: One Bart is Better than Three
    PLOT:
    Homer is drunk as usual and gets Lenny to drive him back home. However, on the way, they hit Bart who has gone to prank Principal Skinner. He's badly wounded and needs medical attention. However, Lenny doesn't recognise him, and runs him over again accidentally.
    Bart is missing for two days, and finally rings the Simpsons, to tell him what happened. Distraught, instead of visiting Bart in the hospital, Homer adopts another kid like Bart, called Dennis (an obvious ripoff of Dennis the Menace). Around this time, Dennis flunks the big test, and is sent to summer school. Homer terminates the parenthood of Dennis and adopts another kid called Stanley. During the summer vacation, he is run over by a car (Lenny's infact) and has to go to hospital. Homer thinks of adopting another, but the orphanage is sick of him, and turn him down. In the end, Bart comes back after the summer holidays, and tells them he had a better time at the hospital than at home. The episode ends with Homer choking Bart like crazy.
    SUBPLOT:
    Lisa FAILS a maths test and goes insane for five seconds, before breaking down. She turns into a complete braindead moron, and Marge feels her concern, and tries to help. They visit a therapist who tells Marge to make her redo the test and purposely make her win. It works.

    I'm glad you liked it guys, it took me 10 minutes to write this episode idea because after over 380 episodes, it can be hard to come up with a original idea, not to mention a good one. Wow, I must be a good writer because I had an episode idea for Family Guy and people liked it too. Actually, I've been writing stories for 10 and more years, so I should have experince on how to write Simpson episodes. I may end up writing better episodes than the writers themselves.

    It sounds crazy enough to be a good episode, so it should work.

    Here are some quotes from "Dreaming is Believing". This should be a TV 14 rated episode.

    (Homer is sitting on the couch, with food all over the couch, and 7 stacks of 10 movies per stack were on the floor beside him. Marge comes in.)
    Marge: (To Homer) Homer, I thought we could go to the park today, unless your already drunk now.
    Homer: (To Marge) Marge, why would I do anything that'll bore us to death, lets watch 70 movies this week, 10 per day, and be in heaven, I finally have a use of your money.
    Marge: (To Homer) You spent ALL my money on your movies, how much were those movies worth?
    Homer: (To Marge)Well, the movies today would cost 5 dollars, but I brought it from this guy who would want all 500 dollars from you so I did the deal and now we can watch it to a point where our minds start to become like characters, like the geeky Harry Potter, stupid nerd, I'll kick his ass any day, even with his fruity powers.
    Marge: (To Homer) You spent my money for yourself, that's it, I'm going to the park by myself.
    Homer: (To Marge) Go ahead and leave green dressed prostitute, my wife is upstairs you idiot.
    Marge: (To Homer) Homer, I'm your wife, your looking at that filthy green dressed woman in the movie and comparing her to me.

    (Bart walks in the room)
    Bart: (Watching the movie) Whoa, check out the rack on her, why can't you have some Mom?
    Marge: (To Bart) That's because I had you, (To Homer) and Homer, this is a x-rated movie, there will be no movies like that in my house.
    Homer: (To Marge) Go to the park lady, Bart and I will watch the x rated movie ourselves, (Whrispering to Bart) your mother is crazy, just like the cat lady, only worse.
    Bart: (To Marge) Yeah, leave Mom, this is for men only, and when I'm done, I'm going to shoot hobos and call them losers while I'm at it.
    Marge: (To Bart) You are not a man.
    Homer: (To Marge) He's a little man, and quiet, I'm trying to watch the movie, now she's stripping.
    Marge: (Screams and talks to Bart) That's it, I'm picking you up Bart (she does so and left the house).
    Bart: (To Homer) Some father you are, you can't stand up to your wife.
    Homer: (To Bart) She's a prostitute, let her carry you places, and you need to pay her when your done.

    (Lisa walks in the room)
    Lisa: (To Homer) Dad, what are those 2 guys doing to that woman?
    Homer: (To Lisa) When you grow up, that's your future, because you won't achieve higher in life than this.
    Lisa: (To Homer) That's it, I'm out of here.
    Homer: (To Himself) Now those kids will never learn about this, but I must keep watching in order to do the thing I've always wanted to do: become a movie character in a real world with multiple personalitys.

    Nice ideas.

    Mine.I thought of a story,but it ws a little long,so I turnedit into 2 episodes:

    NAME: The Amazing Adventures of a Fat Man(Part 1)

    PLOT: Homer accidently saves the Power Plant millions of dollars by trippeling the work of Power,and does'nt need to work at the Power Plant anymore.He strongly argues with Burns,refusing a $5,000,000,000 payment.He does accept it with a box of donuts though.
    With his money,Homer buys Marge whatever she wants-telling her she has $2,000,000 to spend.He spends the rest on a music store,buying the local store owned by Disco Stu.He has all sorts of customers,and eventually employies Otto,Bart,Lenny,Carl and Barney to help him work at his store.Bart becomes the icon,and he calls his shop 'Bad Bart records'
    While all this goes on,Lisa becomes the most popular girl in school after she sells music that her dad gave her.Skinner does not beleive Lisa would do this,and she says she needs the new life size Malibu Stacey doll,and her dad is'nt paying her any attention.
    Homer rakes in the money,as do his collegues.Except one night,all of his windows arte broken.He receives a death threat,and wonders 'I only have 1 enemy....and he's dead.'


    NAME: Disco Homer(Part 2)

    PLOT: Homer is chased by a angry mob wearing masks down the street,and he barracades himself in Moes.No ones their though,and he realises that he left all his collegues(Including Bart)in the store.He can't leave,the angry mob will catch him.He hides under the table,as the mob bash against the door.
    Bart tries to leave,but realises that they have been locked  in.Otto accidently sets off a peice of music,alerting the mob that someone is there.He hidesunder the counter,and finds a underground tunnel.They all begin to exit via the tunnel.
    Lisa starts selling the things,and goes to the 'Closed off' area of the school to reload.She is pushed into a safe whichis locked.
    Bart and co. arrive at Moes,underground.The mob bash through,and Homer and Bart run through a window.The others just escape and close themselves off in a tunnel.
    Homer and Bart get into the closest car,and start driving.They crash off the River Springfeild,and land luckily on a boat.A man is their,standing with a cape.He identifies himself as the threat,and is actually Moe that did it,for stealing his customers.The three become friends again,but forget as the others are trapped down underground.

    Homer: (To Himself) Now those kids will never learn about this, but I must keep watching in order to do the thing I've always wanted to do: become a movie character in a real world with multiple personalitys.

    The summary of the episode seems pretty good but Homer is too much like Peter Griffin in those quotes - Homer would never act that way in the show.

    Here's my idea for a 2-parter:

    Nuclear Family

    Part 1

    Thanks to the new warning system that Burns is forced to install in the Nuclear Power Plant, employees hear the system when a malfunction occurs.  When all employees are accounted for, Burns closes off the section which is destroyed. Unfortunately, one Lenny Lenards forgot to sign in when arriving at work and it is later discovered was burned to death. At the funeral, a distraught Homer is delighted when he sees a familiar figure.  "Lenny, you're alive! It's a miracle!" "Homer" his friend replies "I'm Carl. You never could remember us!" "That's not true" Homer protests which brings in a few clips including:

    "That's Lenny? I wanted the black one!"

    "What do you think... (looks at hand which has written "Carl=black, Lenny=White")... Carl?"

    Apu agrees that Homer doesn't know his friends well to which Homer replies "Maybe you're right, Moe" "I am Apu, your friendly convenience store clerk".  Homer realises he needs to spend more time with his friends and does so but in turn starts ignoring his family.

    After being confronted by them about this, Homer promises to start spendin more time with them but fails to do so, finding it hard to balance friends, calling in sick to work and family.

    The family start coming up with plans to win him back, all of which fail miserably and when Homer agrees to go on a one-week camping/fishing trip with his buddies, the family fear they may have lost their unreliable father forever.

    To Be Continued...

    Part 2

    Skinner: I don't really know why I'm here... Oh well, last time on the Simpsons...

    Shows nuclear explosion

    Flashbacks:

    Smithers: Unfortunately Lenny leonards was still inside...

    Apu: You don't seem to know your friends very well Mr Homer...

    Marge: Homer, you're spending all your time with your bee buddies. I know you feel that you need their support after what happened to enny butyou have a family that wants to spend time with you aswell and if you can't see that then we're in serious trouble.

    Homer: Okay Marge, I'll be home more often...

    Moe: Hey Homer, me, Barney, Carl and Apu are going on a fishing trip for a week. You in?

    Homer: Sure...

    Lisa: We may have lost Dad forever...

    Skinner: Didn't seem like all that was necessary. Who am I talking to anyway?

    In the second episode of the two parter, Homer and his buddies go on the trip and Marge and the kids decide to give it one more shot at trying to turn Homer's attention back on to the family and follow him on his trip to formulate a plan but maggie goes missing. Meanwhile, Homer is having fun with the gang but feels like something is missing, until he realises that he hadn't watched TV in a month and also hadn't had a nice meal that actually stopped him being hungry and realised that all that stuff was at home.

    He decides to take a walk to clear his head and sees a stream of water with a familiar head bobbing along - Maggie was drowning! Homer juimps in and saves her, just in time for Bart, Lisa and Marge to arrive, the family reunited again.

    Lisa finishes the episode by wondering how Maggie could have drowned when she always seemed more careful than that. Maggie then winks and giggles.

    I'm glad you liked it guys, I know how to write episodes, after all, I'm a diehard fan of the show.
    Now, here's 4 plots of the next episode, "Worse Issues Than Anyone Could Imagine".

    The family gets angry at each other when they play a confusing board game, more confusing than Monopoly, so they all go separate ways outside the house, but they face terrible danger ahead. 4 plots go separate ways.

    Homer's Plot: A woman that Homer hated (because she made fun of him a lot) in high school tries to get revenge on him at the park. How, when Homer meets her at the park, she pretends that he is raping her because she tied herself to make it look like she needs help, but really she is setting up Homer. He unties her and she yells about him raping her, people heard it and Homer ran. That woman calls the cops on him and Homer must disguise himself through everyday life and going random places until he can find a way to set things straight.

    Marge's Plot: Marge meets a guy that invites him to his apartment, but she never knew that he needed her to dance around a bunch of guys that needed a girl at their party, so she does so and goes crazy. After getting drunk, she woke up the next day in the guy's apartment, and doesn't want to act wild anymore, until the guy convinces her that she can have good times  and make new friends so now she goes through life being a out of control house wife  who's drinking, smoking and partying a lot, not caring about the kids, until something bad happens................

    Bart's Plot: Bart goes to a T.V. studio and found a show that amazes him, called "Bad Kids World", a show where bad boys and girls can do extremely bad things to people on a reality show and those people can't hurt them physically, so he joins in and has fun competing against bad kids by doing worse things to people than them to win a hidden prize, until things went too far.......................

    Lisa's Plot: Lisa made a friend at the library, and he is good at writing stories(like me), so she tries to write stories just like him. After writing romantic stories and hanging out together, she wanted to take her relationship with him to the next level, but 2 things go wrong: he doesn't feel that way about Lisa, and worse, he's gay so she will try to find a way to make her plan of him liking her succeed, until a twist had shown up......................

    And sadly, Maggie doesn't have a plot. To use these 4 plots in one episode, it has to be just like that Season 8 episode "You Only Move Twice", which had plots about the main 4 instead of Maggie.

    Yep, that's the idea for the episode. What did you think about it?

    Jimbo, I think your episode would be much better without the flashback clips of Homer confusing Lenny with Carl

    I don't have any thought out ideas, but I severely would love to see a sub-plot of an episode (or perhaps even the movie) be about Maggie vs Baby Gerald

    I like your idea, but not the quotes. But maybe Homer would be watching an X-Rated movie, and Bart comes in, but nothing like that. And also, there should probably be some reason why Homer must stay at home. But, I would send the idea to Matt Groening or some Simpsons staff.

    Hey, that sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't care if you did send the idea to Matt or the Simpsons staff because my idea would work and the ratings will go up. And Homer spends 7 days watching 10 per day movies until he starts to really become a movie character in everyday life, and when he is done watching 10 movies in one day, he goes through his routine of being a movie character. And yes, the quotes do need help, because they are far from finished, if you could send the idea, that would be great, but I'm not pressuring you though.

Marge got him help at a therapist who helps him for one week, but in the next week, his attitude changes for the worse as he becomes a therapist (in his mind) and starts being a pest to the people in Springfield, so it's up to Marge to stop him before it affects him forever.

    So what do you think about this episode idea, in which I call this episode "Dreaming is Believing".

    Nice! I wish that was a Simpson episode that we can see.

    I highly doubt there going to take fan ideas. Apart from the fact that most fans' have idiotic ideas (Homer watching movies all week long....sheer brilliance!), there's lots of legal work involved in it too

    I highly doubt there going to take fan ideas. Apart from the fact that most fans' have idiotic ideas (Homer watching movies all week long....sheer brilliance!), there's lots of legal work involved in it too
    I know, they won't listen to us, especially me, because I have better ideas than most of the newer season s's episodes. And Homer does more than watch movies(that's only for one-two scenes of him watching movies for a whole week and the REAL plot jumps in afterwards before the commercial break) if you read the entire plot: He becomes movie characters in every day life. Imagine him as a jedi, terminator, or do jackass stunts from those jackass movies (with many more movie character ideas). If this works, the ratings should go up, but thanks to those Simpson writers, it won't happen.
