Lest we forget this interaction between Homer and Mr. Burns:

Homer: Sure, I’m flattered. Maybe even curious.

Or the time that I told Burns I could be his lover but I’d need a few cases of beer.

When Homer got hair, his secratery Karl was gay. (Not Carl as in Lenny and, but another one.) And Karl was in love w/ Homer, or so it seemed. Homer was oblivious…but perhaps he was giving off homosexual vibes? 🙂 Somehow I doubt this though.

Homer’s just being gay-desensitized, like the rest of television.

Not a bad trend, but they are undoubtedly ahead of the curve relative to the audience.

But that’s Fox’s winning formula.

There aren’t many law firms like Skinny’s either.
