At the local auto show, Homer is pressured into buying a snow plow truck and he starts up a surprisingly successful business as "Mr. Plow." Things go well for Homer until Barney starts his own slow plow business and steals all of Homer's customers.
Write a Recap »This is one of the most iconic Simpson's episode to date. Homer loses his car in a snowstorm and attends an auto show in the hopes of finding a new car. He is then talked into buying a large truck in which he uses to start a new snow plow business. He is very successful in his business and is even given the key to the city. Homer's friend, Barney, starts his own business, "The Plow King" and begins to steal many of Homer's customers. This is one of my favorite episodes and one that I would recommend it to anyone.

At the auto show, Homer impulsively buys a snow plow and starts a business as Mr. Plow. An incredibly snowy winter sets the business rolling, making Homer a success and earning him the key to the city from Mayor Quimby. All is well until Barney sets up a rival business as the Plow King and wipes the streets with Homer. To cut out his competition, Homer calls Barney under an assumed name and dispatches the Plow King to clear a path on forbidding Widow's Peak. Barney foolishly drives up there and is caught under an avalanche. Only Homer can save him from an icy death and both men agree to work together as a team. Right at that moment, the sun bursts out and all the snow in Springfield melts into puddles, leaving them both without livelihoods.
Call Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr.Plow! hide show
Another great, memorable, and classic episode of The Simpsons, deserving of an Emmy. Homer and Barney at their throats in a snow plowing buisness, with a numerous amount of hilarious results. I'm glad that Dan Castenella got an Emmy for his voiceover in this episode. A 9 for a great episode from the best season.
Hey Kids! Its Batman hide show
This is with out a doubt my favourite simpsons episode ever. The episode is none stop jokes, and laughs. The once great show and its great episodes is no doubt thanks to this one.
I have to say I hate the new seasons, but season 4 rocked, not one bad episode in the entire thing. Homer is the greatest character in T.V. history, you cannot watch this episode and not burst out laughing.
"Its a pornagraphy store, I was there buying pornography," is the greatest and funniest line ever, I can watch this episode a hundred times and not laugh. Adam West was a great addition to this episode also.
