So much has been written about Homer Badman, but wow, the Simpsons writers deserve an Emmy for being prescient, that is foretelling the future. In the scene where Dennis Franz (of St. Elsewhere fame) voiced a very malevolent Homer Simpson recreating the alleged assault, he lustily asserted, "With a man in the White House (evil chuckle)..." Now this episode was released in 1994 (Clinton was the Commander in Chief) but wow, that line is so 2017-2021 really.
Anyway, for me the golden years of The Simpsons is the first 10 seasons, so this episode kind of counts and is an indictment of media hysteria and exploitation of alleged crimes.
