Ranking All 25 The Simpsons Season Finales

22. Marge And Homer Turn A Couple Play

Who Shot Mr Burns
Fox

Season: 17

Another finale flub: making it about characters never before seen on the show.

Marge And Homer Turn A Couple Play focuses on Homer and Marge giving marriage advice to newly acquired Springfield Isotopes star Buck "Home Run King" Mitchell and his wife Tabitha Vixx, a pop star who humiliates Buck when she strips down and breaks into one of her own tunes while singing the national anthem at an Isotopes game.

While previous baseball themed episodes have been solid, such as the classic Homer At The Bat and Hungry, Hungry Homer, this one simply falls flat. For a season finale, bringing in characters with no prior exposure on the show just isn't the right move, and the episode suffered for it.

Mandy Moore provided the voice of Tabitha, and as guest stars go, she wasn't terrible, wasn't great, and was just sort of there.
