Lisa
Simpson [voice
of Yeardley Smith]: “You're taking us to a doctor that advertises on
pro wrestling?”
Homer Simpson [voice of Dan
Castellaneta]: “Boxing, Lisa, boxing. There's a world of difference.”—The
Simpsons, Season 1, Episode 4, “There's No Disgrace Like Home,”
original air date Jan. 28, 1990, teleplay by Al Jean, Mike Reiss, and Jon Vitti,
directed Kent Butterworth and Gregg Vanzo
This may
be the only reference from this episode of 36 years ago that needs to be
updated. These days, Dr. Monroe would not advertise on boxing or pro wrestling,
but on UFC.
And, as
part of their therapy, the family would watch that “sport” on the White
House lawn.
