A parte gli scherzi...
Un po di info:
Dati sull'episodio:
Messa in onda: September 21, 1997
Codice: 4F22
Titolo: "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson"
Note di Produzione:
Writer Ian Maxtone-Graham, a former resident of New York, had conceived the idea of having the family travel to the city to locate their missing car and believed it to be "a classic Manhattan problem".[4] Bill Oakley, who had visited the World Trade Center when the construction of the towers was completed in 1973, suggested parking the car in the plaza of the buildings.[5] Josh Weinstein observed that, "When we realized that there was a plaza between the two towers, we knew it was a perfect spot to have Homer's car."[6]
The animators were told to make a detailed replica of the city. David Silverman was sent to Manhattan to take hundreds of pictures of the city and areas around the World Trade Center.[5] When he returned, Lance Wilder and his team spent time creating new scenes and backgrounds, incorporating small details such as signs and hundreds of extras that would correctly illustrate the city.[7] Oakley and Weinstein were pleased with the final results, and both noted that the buildings, streets, and even elevator cabins were detailed closely to their real life counterparts.[5][6] In the final scene, as the family is seen driving away from New York on the George Washington Bridge, the credits roll with the "camera" gradually pulling back from a view of the car, to a view of the side, and then on to a panorama view of the city; as if the whole sequence was being shot from a helicopter. To achieve this effect, a computer model of the bridge pulling out was made and then was printed out. With the print outs, photocopies were made traced onto the animation cells.[7] The process took a long time and was expensive, as the use of computer animation was not widespread when the episode was produced. Director Jim Reardon wanted to replicate films that ended in a similar way, and commented that, "I remembered that every movie located in New York would pull back if you were leaving town on a bridge."[7] Shortly before the episode aired, the production staff contacted Fox to make sure they would not run commercials during the credits.[6]
Ken Keeler, who wrote the lyrics for the "You're Checkin' In" musical number, spent two hours in a room alone to write the song. Upon sharing the lyrics with the rest of the production staff, some revisions were made, although little was changed. Bill Oakley was unsatisfied with the part of the musical where the actor claims, "Hey, that's just my Aspirin!", claiming that a better line could have been written.[5]
Soggetto:
Homer and his friends pay their usual visit to Moe's Tavern after work. Moe informs the men that, due to their frequent drunk driving, a designated driver must be chosen. Moe devises a lottery using a jar of pickled eggs: whoever draws the black egg cannot drink that night. To his horror, Barney draws the black egg, and is worn to a fragile mental state as his friends become more and more intoxicated. He nearly breaks down when Duffman shows up with a bottomless mug of beer, which Barney is now forbidden to drink.
A still-sober Barney drives Homer, Lenny, and Carl home in Homer's car. Homer is too drunk to notice Barney's frazzled emotions (telling him to "slide the car under the door" the next morning). Barney speeds off in Homer's car.
Two months later he returns to Moe's with no memory of what happened to the car. Homer later receives a letter from New York City, which informs him that his car has been found illegally parked in the center of the World Trade Center plaza. It is then when Homer reveals to the family that he had once been to New York before when he was 17-years-old and had a horrible experience. Although reluctant, he agrees to go back to the city after the family persuades him.
The Simpsons arrive in New York by bus. Homer leaves to find his car while Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie go sight-seeing. Homer finds his car parked between the two towers of the World Trade Center, the windshield covered in parking tickets and the wheel booted. While waiting for parking officer Steve Grabowski, Homer drinks too much crab juice from a street vendor and needs to use the bathroom. He runs to the top of one of the towers and relieves himself, only to see out the window that he has missed the parking officer and received yet another ticket. Meanwhile, the family visits the Statue of Liberty and takes in a Broadway show, and Bart visits the offices of Mad Magazine.
The sun begins to set and Homer panics, not wanting to be on the streets of New York after dark. He drives away with the boot still attached to the wheel, severely damaging his car. His slow speed holds up traffic, so he attempts to use a jackhammer to remove the boot. It works, but it does further damage to his car, which is already falling apart. He meets the family in Central Park, where they are enjoying a hansom cab ride. He rushes them into the car and they drive away, the family happy and wishing to return, Homer gritting his teeth and swallowing his rage as he is pelted with medical waste by the open garbage truck in front of them.
