> I thought the same thing about [**The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson**](http://www.snpp.com/episodes/4F22) immediately after 9/11, since a majority of its action takes place at the WTC towers, and is not particularly sweet to them. But it’s been shown since.

In fact, I just saw it air tonight.

I wonder if the episode where Homer becomes an artist and floods Springfield will be aired anytime soon.

Just goes to show that it wasn’t just the director of the play who’s a fan of Ned’s chest.
