The Simpsons - 4x11 - Homer's Triple Bypass

    Homer's heart gives out, but they can't afford Hibbert's bypass.  They use Dr. Nick as a discount surgeon.
    I'm sure anyone reading this has already seen the episode many, many times.  It's one that I didn't care for as much when I was younger, but it feels funnier, and a bit darker.
    My father had a heart attack when I was around 6.  It didn't strike me as much at the time, but I think I've felt a bit more concerned about the hereditary aspects of heart problems.  So the episode tends to guilt me a bit.
    Regardless, my favorite gags - Mr. McGregg, and most of the setup.  Homer eating in bed is excellent, along with his road rage at Moleman.
