    The episode begins with the family and Marge's sisters watching TV in the living room. Homer sees a commercial for Dimoxinil "the new miracle breakthrough in hair regrowth." Homer heads to a clinic in the mall where Dimoxinil is sold, but when he finds out it costs 1,000 dollars for a six-month supply, he walks away dejected. The next day at the power plant during lunch, Homer complains about the lack of tartar sauce for his fish sticks, and tells Carl and Lenny about the new hair product that he can't afford. They convince Homer that he should charge the Dimoxinil to the company's health insurance. Later, Homer heads back to the clinic to do just that. Before going to bed that night Homer applies the Dimoxinil to his scalp and says a quick prayer. The next morning Homer wakes up to discover a thick flowing mane of hair. A jubilant Homer runs through the town showing off his new hair. Homer heads over to the barber shop and gets a stylish haircut. Later, at the power plant Mr. Burns, who has to give one token promotion a year, spots Homer with his full head of hair. He appears energetic and resourceful with his new hair, so Mr. Burns promotes Homer to the position of junior executive.

    Why haven't I seen this episode before? Well, either way, I just finished watching this, and if I've seen it before, re-watching. This episode was wonderful and it was hilarious. One thing I've noticed is that this is one of the episodes where you hear Homer's voice change. Dan Castellaneta changed the voice of Homer Simpson to a deeper and easier to do voice. Homer purchases a hair growing medicine for one thousand dollars and charges it to his insurance. He seems to be happy and even got promoted since his new friend and his hair growth made a difference.

    This episode was wonderful and is probably the best episode of the second season of the Simpsons.moreless

    the first time i saw this i was bored out of my mind. every time after i am still bored. so why did i give it a 6.0? I think it has some funny scenes, they just don't have a lot. I think the plot is very boring and i really did not care what was going to happen either way, i just wanted it to end. It had some humor but definitely weak in that department. My overall grade is a low "C", because I don't think it deserves higher and i think lower is being too cruel to the episodemoreless

    • In the break room at the nuclear plant, there's a sign near the coffee pot that mentions the coffee refill "honor system" and says that refills are 25 cents. None of the workers seem to be honoring this request, however. Edit
    • Homer gets his hair cut at Jake's Unisex Hair Palace. Edit
    • LOOK HARD: The address of Dimoxinil is 485 Hair Plaza in Hair City, Utah. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • In order to receive it's former U rating in the UK on the Simpsons "Complete Second Season" DVD sexual references in the audio commentary version of this episode were cut out by the BBFC to avoid the 12 rating. Edit
    • The character Karl was played by openly gay actor Harvey Fierstein, and it is at least implied that Karl is also gay. This marks the beginning of a trend of several LGBT characters on The Simpsons. The character was supposed to reappear in "Three Gays of the Condo", but Fierstein objected. Edit

    • (After the Dimoxinil is spilled on the floor, Homer rubs his head on the carpet and cries) Lisa: Dad seems to be taking this in a less than heroic fashion. Edit
    • (Mr. Burns and Smithers study security camera footage.) Mr. Burns: Morons. Pathetic morons in my employ, stealing my precious money. This is hopeless. None of these cretins deserves a promotion. Smithers: Well, it's in the union contract, sir. One token promotion from within per year. Mr. Burns: Wait! Who is that young go-getter? (Points at a monitor with Homer on it.) Smithers: Well, it sort of looks like (Chuckles) Homer Simpson, only more dynamic and resourceful. Mr. Burns: Simpson, huh? Hmm. An unspoiled lump of clay to mold in my own image. Our new junior executive. Bring him to me! Edit
    • (After losing his hair again, Homer struggles through a presentation in front of the power plant executives.) Homer: Uh, the long-term benefits more than offsetting the one-time cost for a net savings of f-five thousand, two, uh, hundred an--(Stammers) Oh, lots of money. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Mr. Burns: You know, I was watching the DuMont last night, and I happened to catch a fascinating documentary on Rommel, the Desert Fox. DuMont was one of the first companies to produce television sets. But the pun is that back in the early 50's, DuMont had its own television network in competition with the big three, much like what FOX is doing now. In fact, many of the current FOX stations and buildings once belonged to the DuMont network. Edit
    • Minoxidil The chemical Minoxidil is commonly found in most hair grow solutions. Homer's hair restoration product is called Dimoxidil, which is a slight twist on the Minoxidil name. Edit
    • Karl: They've given you...the key! The scene where Homer receives the key to the executive washroom is a parody of a similar scene in the 1957 film Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? Edit
