Marge, having thoroughly enjoyed her vacation, calls it quits, and calls Homer. Telling him she is feeling much better, Homer convinces her matters are under control at home. Marge reveals she is coming back and Homer should pick her up in one hour at the train station. Later on, Marge notices a TV commercial for a resort spa called "Rancho Relaxo", and decides that she needs a vacation. Homer tries to talk Marge out of it by reminding her of failed family vacations from the children's misbehavior and how they ended up staying home because of it.
She is moved by this and exits the car, but is later arrested by the police. Wanting to have the female voters on his side for a political gain, Quimby orders him to release Marge. Wiggum refuses by pointing out how much she's angered the motorists in Springfield with her forced gridlock and refusing to move her car. He makes his case clear that Marge is a danger to the town and must remain locked up.
Ep 12: I Married Marge
The footage of Homer calling to report Maggie's disappearance was recycled from Saturdays of Thunder. The song that plays while Homer is on hold on the missing child hotline is "Baby Come Back" by Player. One of the films available at Rancho Relaxo is Thelma and Louise, which Marge ends up watching. "Homer Alone" is the first episode of The Simpsons that shows Patty's and Selma's fondness for MacGyver, and Selma says "Richard Dean Anderson will be in my dreams tonight." "Homer Alone" contains references to the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Thelma and Louise, Home Alone, MacGyver, and the song "Baby Come Back" by Player. The episode has received generally positive reviews from critics.
While Marge is enjoying her vacation, the rest of the Simpsons are suffering without her. Bart has to sleep with Patty, who snores, as Lisa has to sleep with Selma. Homer finds it troublesome feeding Maggie, and changes Maggie's diaper by closing it with a staple gun. As for entertainment, Homer tries to make Maggie laugh through a puppet show, only to scare Maggie. Santa's Little Helper attacks both the puppets and Homer, to which Maggie applauds and laughs. When Chief Wiggum calls Homer in to talk to Marge, he manages to calm her down enough to tell her that he's sorry for taking advantage of her and that he loves her.
Season 14
This is the first episode since Season 2 in which Chief Wiggum has blue hair. This is the first episode that shows Patty and Selma's fondness for MacGyver , and Selma says "Richard Dean Anderson will be in my dreams tonight." ―Marge Simpson"Homer Alone" is the fifteenth episode of Season 3. Overall, this is a great episode and my favorite part is Homer trying to find Maggie before Marge returns home. Of course, Bart and Lisa tortuous stay at Marge's sisters is also great to watch.
Bart and Lisa dislike living with Patty and Selma because they snore loudly, watch MacGyver and Divorce Court, and serve meals of tongue sandwiches, Clamato, Mr. Pibb and soy milk. The scene at the train station where Marge leaves for Rancho Relaxo includes a brief cameo appearance of a character modeled after director Jim Reardon. In this episode, "Homer Alone," Marge has a very stressful day and she has a mental breakdown. She decides to take a personal vacation, leaving Bart and Lisa in the care of Selma and Patty and Maggie in Homer's care. The title of this episode is a parody of the Home Alone movie series. When Homer finds out Maggie is missing, he puts his hands on his cheeks and screams like Kevin McCallister from the movies.
Season 10
The band recorded a slightly different tempo of their one-hit wonder specifically for this episode. There were some scenes in the trailers for this episode which didn't get to air. After Homer staples Maggie's diaper shut, he picks her up, and the changing board comes with her. This is the third time a case of an ironic musical hold has caused a Simpsons character to burst into tears. The first was in Stark Raving Dad when Marge dialed Calmwood Mental Institution and was placed on hold while Crazy by Patsy Cline played. The second time was in Saturdays of Thunder when Homer dialed the National Fatherhood Institute and Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin played.
According to executive producer Al Jean, the writers often used McClure as a "panic button" when they felt an episode needed more humor. The episode's title is a play on the 1990 film Home Alone; David Stern's brother Daniel had starred in the movie as one of the main antagonists. Upset by her mother's absence, Maggie leaves the house to find Marge. When Homer and Barney are unable to find her, Homer calls a missing baby hotline. Maggie is found atop the roof of an ice cream shop and returned to Homer as Marge leaves the spa.
Bart Simpson x Home Alone Christmas Card
Homer then duct-tapes Maggie to her car seat, securing her tightly to avoid her escaping from him. He then makes his way over to Patty and Selma, to pick up Bart and Lisa. Overjoyed with his presence, they cling onto his feet, forcing Homer to kick them into the backseat. Before leaving town, Marge puts Bart and Lisa into the care of Patty and Selma, but Maggie clings to the front door when she is about to be deposited to her aunts, leaving Maggie in Homer's care.
Bart, however, must defend the house when Snake Jailbird tries to rob the house. Meanwhile, the family has to stay longer at the mall because Homer got drunk and wandered off and now is lost. Marge’s pragmatic and ultimately very sad willingness to ignore her own needs for the sake of serving a boorish husband who will never appreciate her was a powerful subtext in last week’s episode.
After Marge's breakdown, we need the relief of Rancho Relaxo almost as much as Marge does. We need the finest R-rated movies Europe has to offer even more. When Homer calls the Department of Missing Babies to report that Maggie has disappeared, the on-hold music is "Baby Come Back" by Player.
Homer also mentions about not being a pleasant company when he and Marge go on vacation together. Marge convinces Homer that she needs to go to Rancho Relaxo alone for rest and relaxation. David M. Stern's brother Daniel Stern had starred in the movie as Marv Merchants, one of the main antagonists. In addition, Homer mimics the poster when he notices that Maggie is missing. The quiet desperation of Marge Simpson has been a steady drumbeat coursing through the first few seasons of The Simpsons.
