The Simpsons - 22x20 - Homer Scissorhands

    Homer finds out that he's an excellent hairdresser, and becomes a very in-demand stylist.  Lisa rejects Milhouse, which leads to a 5th grader becoming interested in him.  Lisa can't deal with this.
    While there isn't much to make this episode a noteworthy one, it's really pretty good.  There aren't any gags that outstay their welcome, the performances are good.  It's great to see Milhouse sing a song using a theremin.  And there's a strange gag with Lunchlady Doris and Moleman.
     I like Lisa's story more than I should, considering how much I should identify with Milhouse.  It makes sense for Lisa to have a quiet interest in him, especially since she probably places a certain amount of self-worth on his worship.
