Inspired by a Church Sermon that said “don’t be like Homer Simpson”, I started watching The Simpsons to decide. Is he really that bad? Basically it’s a yes and No answer... in The Call of The Wild. Yes it goes a little bonkers at the end (Remember it’s a TV show), but considering how bad the trip goes... he never goes off on one at his kids... in fact you could argue this is all him, trying to do the the right thing for his kids. (That. And keeping up with the Flanders)
