On this day in 1992, The Simpsons released S4, E9:  “Mr. Plow”

In the many years of the long running animated series on Fox, this episode always stands out as one of the best — among both critics and fans alike.  So what exactly is the big deal with this episode?

For one, a cameo from Batman star Adam West that relaunched his career and made him relevant to an entirely new generation of fans.  For another, a classic joke about a radio dial saving the day by then-writer Conan O’Brian.  There was also risque one liners, including one about the sexual orientation of a Leave It To Beaver character….and, yes, even a bit of nudity.

Ryan Parker from The Hollywood Report does an excellent interview with the show’s creators & writers, Dan Castellaneta (whose voicing of Homer in this episode won him an Emmy), Conan O’Brian, and more.  Definitely worth the read for The Simpsons fan in all of us.  — [eric]
