Homer loses his mind over tipping culture run amok.
Matt Roush says...
TV’s longest-running animated hit has been associated with Christmas from its beginning — when on December 17, 1989, the first full-length episode (after previously appearing on The Tracey Ullman Show) offered the holiday fable, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” After 36 seasons and nearly 780 episodes, the satirical staple comes full circle on its anniversary date with a double-length episode, “C’mon All Ye Faithful,” in which a dour Springfield, choking on “the chunky inhale of tire fire and donut oil,” gets an injection of Christmas spirit courtesy of British illusionist and mentalist Derren Brown (as himself). His experiment involves hypnotizing a suggestible Homer, who begins to believe he’s Santa Claus, with the fallout sending neighbor Ned Flanders into a crisis of faith. Christmas miracles abound, not the least of which is this series’ staying power.
