You just gotta love this episode. It's brilliant. It has the markings of a true classic.
After Marge stops Snake and his shoddy street money schemes, she is excited by what life has to offer. So she decides to put her skills into becoming a cop, joining the Springfield Police Force.
She soon loses her initial passion for the job when she has to arrest Homer. Homer, when released from a temporary lock-up makes the habit of inviting a few friends over for gambling and drinking at his house.
Among his buddies is Herman, who is secretly smuggling counterfeit jeans (ingenious!) into Homer and Marge's garage/car hole.
Marge ends up catching Herman and wins respect as a cop from Homer, but after the jeans "mysteriously disappear" (Cheif Wiggum and the crew steal them for their own leisure) Marge decides to quit being a cop.
This episode is so Simpsonesque it's great. Lots of great and memorable jokes, a wacky but cleverly crafted storyline and a whole lotta heart is what makes this truly special. Another standout episode from the flawless season 6 of The Simpsons.
The Hill Street Blues music that plays is also fantastic. The performances (notably Dan Castallaneta's and Julie Kavner's) are spot on. The animation is just what it was supposed to be in a '96 episode of The Simpsons: a little glitchy, but that is what adds heart and character.
Love it love it love it! Go see it, be you Simpsons fan or not.
