Springfield’s most dysfunctional family returns to FOX with a new episode of “The Simpsons” titled “Bottle Episode.” In this installment, Marge and Mr. Smithers embark on an unlikely partnership, venturing into the world of counterfeit wine. The improbable duo sets out to become the “wine-forging Robin Hoods” of Springfield, duping unsuspecting connoisseurs with their fraudulent vintages. But how long can they maintain their charade before the cork pops on their scheme?

Adding a touch of sophistication to the proceedings is guest star Robert Parker, the internationally recognized wine critic. Parker’s presence adds a dash of real-world credibility to the cartoon shenanigans, highlighting the show’s knack for blending satire with absurdity. This episode of “The Simpsons” features the usual suspects, including Dan Castellaneta as Homer and Julie Kavner as Marge.
