"Smithers goes on vacation and figures if Homer replaces him, Burns will welcome him back. For some time it is playing out, until Homer slugs Burns and the old guy begins to fend for himself, giving him a sense of personal power. Home should have been arrested and at least fired, but things have convoluted center holding them together. I did enjoy seeing Smithers enjoying himself at what was certainly a gay setting...."
💡 Did You Know?
Josh Weinstein said that this episode was an opportunity for him, Bill Oakley, and John Swartzwelder to "go nuts" with the "Burns-ism". He said that they enjoy writing for characters such as Burns and Abe Simpson because of their "out-datedness", and because they get to use thesauruses for looking up "old time slang". For example, Burns answers the phone by saying "Ahoy, hoy!", which was suggested by Alexander Graham Bell to be used as the proper telephone answer when the telephone was first invented.
