This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

Marge and Lisa try to soften Homer's mood after he inadvertently rents a musical instead of an action movie.

Marge is cast as Blanche DuBois in a local musical production of "A Streetcar Named Desire."

Homer recounts his trials and tribulations as a member of a barbershop quartet.

Stressed out Marge hires a nanny in an episode spoofing "Mary Poppins."
