    In this episode, Homer helps tame out a mob at a huge sci-fi convention, and is enlisted to be mayor Quimby's personal bodyguard. Homer turns a blind eye to his bribery and shifty deals, until he learns that the milk for Springfield Elementry is supplied by rats, and Homer forces him to stop these deals with Fat Tony and his gang. Will Homer be able to protect Quimby when the mob wants vengence? This episode was a great concept (even if it was just another Homer job) and it was very funny. Overall, definitly one of the best of the season. 10/10 A+moreless

    This is probably one of, if not, the best of s10. Everything in this episode is pretty good, and there weren't many, if any, jokes i disliked. it's kind of a typical "homer gets a job" episodes but it was handled better and funnier than others of the same type. i like everything, the plot, the star wars references, the ending, the characterization- easily one of the funniest and best episodes of the mediocrity known as season 10 {in my opinion}. My overall grade for this episode is an easy A+, and this is one of the only s10 episodes to get that from memoreless

    This is another one of my favorate episodes of the show and just goes to show there are still sparks left in the show.

    This one is just funny as hell, there isn't one dull moment. I really loved some of the first half with the sci-fi convention when Mark Hammll showed up. I'll admit he's one of my top ten guest stars on the show and one of the ones I've been waiting long and hard for and on a side note I'm a fan of the "Star Wars " series.He was just great playing himself and just slightly exagerated, he says one of my favorate quotes.

    Mark: Homer use the Forks.

    Those Star Wars jokes just never get old. Or even that musical Mark was in, the song he sang was hillarous.

    The highlight for me of course in that convention was once a riot in the convention starts and Mark is hurt, Homer says another of my favorate quotes from this episode.

    Homer: NERDSSSS!

    And of course that is a reference joke for "Revenge of the Nerds", voice actor Dan just did that so well, Homer at that moment looked like the character Ogre. And Homer is just beating the crap out of ever crazy conventioner in the way.

    And of course the middle was just as good when Homer became a body guard, I really loved how he utilized his training though he at first missuses it, in one other favorate scene when he gives everyone in his family the vulcan nerve pinch. But I felt it goes to show that Homer can be an action hero if he wants to be. Homer truely is the ultimate body guard.moreless

    this episode is extrmely funny and some hillarious parts are when Homer sleeper holded the whole family then sees that there is 30 minutes until dinner then he sleeper holds himself and when the guy who was teaching Homer and some other people how to be a bodyguard and after the guy tells him to sat his nooooo better when he takes the bullet and tells him to do 20 pushups and then Homer screams at the top of his lungs nooooooooo. Overall a classic episode that I will watch many more times and this is an episode I recomend to any Simsons fan.moreless

    What a great episode! Mark Hamil ranks amongst the greatest of guest stars!
    This episode is funny all the way, from the Sci=Fi Convention (see the robots from Battlestar Galactia fight the gay robots from star wars) to Homer protecting the Mayor from The Mob.
    Speaking of Fat Tony, he has never been better. This episode is one of Tony's best, after Bart The Murderer. The way he used rats milk at the school was strangely humours.
    So, another great episode. Season 10 is highly underrated, but with such classics as this one, I really think people's opinions should reall change for the better.moreless
