That said, I'm really sorry that Futurama's getting cancelled. Dr Zoidberg is funnier than half the Simpsons cast put together.

As far as Homer-caused deaths go, do the Halloween episodes count? In the first part of XII (which I'm watching now for the first time) his dunderheadedness manages to kill Lenny, Carl, Moe and Bart.

Monday, November 24, 2003 Posted: 9:37 AM EST (1437 GMT) (CNN) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair lends his voice to "The Simpsons" in a new episode airing this week.
Fox has been running promotional ads for the episode, in which Homer takes Marge and the kids on a trip to London, at one point ramming a car through the gates of Buckingham Palace and upending the queen's horse-drawn carriage.
Over the years, hundreds of celebrities have visited Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie Simpson in their hometown of Springfield.
"The Simpsons," now in its 15th season, holds the title for "Most Celebrities Featured in an Animation series" in the Guinness Book of World Records. By the time its contract is concluded -- in spring 2005 -- the show will also claim the record for the longest-running sitcom ever, besting "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet."
With his appearance this week, Blair joins such celebrity guest stars as Magic Johnson, David Hyde Pierce, Kelsey Grammer, Paul and his late first wife Linda McCartney, Meryl Streep, Aerosmith, Jack Lemmon, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears.
A spokesman in Blair's press office told CNN the prime minister taped the voiceover in April, at the height of the Iraq war.
He said Blair is a big fan of "The Simpsons" and likes to watch the show with his three teenage children.
In the episode, Blair meets the Simpsons at London's Heathrow Airport and invites them for tea at his official residence, No. 10 Downing Street.
After getting advice from Blair on where to visit in London, Homer causes chaos by tipping tea from his Union Jack cup over the carpet. He ends up locked in the Tower of London.
The episode is entitled "The Regina Monologues" -- a play on the Latin for queen and the theater production "The Vagina Monologues."
The show, which also features the voice of "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, aired Sunday in the United States and will air in Britain in January.http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/11/22/blair.simpsons/index.html

Announcer: And now, back to your Tuesday morning movie. [a boy who resembles James Dean in a leather jacket runs out of a modest house, gets on a motorcycle, and rides away]Mother: Oh, I don't know what's the matter with Jimmy. He won't do his homework, he only salutes the flag with one finger, and he comes home every night with other peoples' blood on his shirt.Father: He's a rebel, I tell you, a rebel without a cause -- just like that boy in that popular movie we saw. [Jimmy and his gang ride through a store, raising havoc]Homer: Yeah, that's the life for me, Marge. Cruising and hassling shopkeepers.Cop: [arresting Jimmy] When will you teens learn to be uncool like everyone else?Jimmy: Never, pops.Homer: That's right -- never!Jimmy: You can arrest me, but you'll never defeat the Cobras. Nothing can defeat a motorcycle gang! [close up on Jimmy's face as he's put behind bars. A gang of bikers riding in a cloud of dust, and the words "The End," is superimposed on the screen]Homer: A gang -- that's the answer!Lisa: Answer to what?Homer: Hey, don't make me hassle you, Lisa.
Homer gets his gang together, the but the effect is less thanmenacing. Moe has a motorcycle from the 20s, which sparks andbreaks down. At least he's better off than Carl and Lenny, whodon't have motorcycles at all. Even so, Ned is interested injoining up, offering the use of his den (with bumper pool table) asthe gang lair. That's too good to turn down, so Ned's in.
After some beers and a game of pool, the club gets down to business.
Homer: The first meeting of Hell's Satans is called to order.Ned: I move we reconsider our club name. Make it something a little less blasphemous. After all, [chuckles] we don't want to go to Hell.Lenny: How about the Devil's Pals?Ned: No.Moe: The Christ Punchers.Ned: The Christ ... I, I don't think you understand my objection.Homer: I'm the president the decision is mine. We're Hell's Satans! Besides, I already made our club jackets. [holds up a light blue windbreaker with "Hell's Satans" crudely written on it, then passes them out to the gang]The newly-christened gang rides around town. Homer is on his redHarley, while Moe has finally resurrected his old motorcycle. (Ormaybe not -- it still trails a cloud of black smoke.) Carl has ayellow scooter he rented from Hertz. Flanders is on a child'sbicycle. Lenny brings up the rear in a riding mower.
They pull up alongside Chief Wiggum, and taunt him by making oinkingnoises. Wiggum vows he will put them in juvenile detention someday. In retaliation, Homer quotes a line from the movie he saw Tuesday,but gets the name of his gang wrong. Embarrassed, he make a fewquick "oinks" then makes a hasty exit.
H: you'll never defeat the Cobras pig. W: hey I thought you guys were the Hell's SatansH: Uhhh, oink oink oink
The gang loiters around the Kwik-E-Mart (gambling for pennies), until Apu chases them away with his mighty broom (although the broom upsets Manjula)
M: You said no more broomsA: you knew I had a temper when you married me
Homer is pleasantly surprised to find his picture of Hell's Satansin "Outlaw Biker" magazine. Marge is also surprised, but by adifferent photo -- one of her in a nightgown, sound asleep. She'sbeen named "Cycle Slut of the Month," but that doesn't impress her.
Marge: You took a picture of me when I was asleep?Homer: If you'd been awake you would have said, "no." You can see the bind I was in.Marge: [reading from the magazine] Her turn-ons include thievery and liquor. Her turns-offs include underpants, pedestrians, and justice -- [disgusted] Ohhh.
Then the guest stars come in (ugh) and the writers use the 'but we're scum only because we don't know any better' joke for the remainder of the show...that is, until they fence with the motorcycles themselves...and I'm quickly reminded that this is season 11
My guess is this script was a holdover from season 10 that got finished and aired in 11

Meathook: Take off that jacket, man.Homer: Okay. [takes off his club jacket]Meathook: [pulls out a switchblade knife, then a switchblade fork] Now, eat it.Homer: [meekly] All right. [cut to some time later, as Homer finishes the jacket]Ramrod: Hey, hey! Chew with your mouth closed, please.Homer: [sucks down a sleeve] Done.Marge: Okay, Meathook, I think he learned his lesson. [maybe not, since Homer is putting on a sweater with "Hell's Satans" embroidered on it]Meathook: Aw, man, now you gotta eat that, too!Homer: Ohhh.Ramrod: You got anything else with our logo on it?Homer: Caps and Frisbees, sir.Meathook: You gotta eat them, too!Homer: ... and some pogs.
