Flaming Moe's
"Flaming Moe's" is the tenth episode of the third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on Fox in the United States on November 21, 1991. In the episode, Homer tells Moe Szyslak about the Flaming Homer, an alcoholic cocktail of cough medicine and fire that he invented. Moe steals Homer's recipe, renames it the Flaming Moe and sells it at his tavern. The drink is wildly successful and boosts Moe's business, but Homer is angry at him for his betrayal and seeks revenge.
The episode was written by Robert Cohen and directed by Rich Moore, with assistance from Alan Smart (who would later work on SpongeBob SquarePants as an animation director). "Flaming Moe's" was the first episode of the show to feature Moe in a prominent role. The main plot of the episode in which Moe's Tavern becomes famous because of a drink is loosely based on the Los Angeles establishment Coconut Teaszer. The episode also parodies the NBC sitcom Cheers, including the theme song and opening sequence "Where Everybody Knows Your Name", and a character named Collette is modeled after Shelley Long's character Diane Chambers. Catherine O'Hara originally recorded dialogue for the part of Collette, but the writers felt her voice did not fit the role and instead used a track recorded by regular Jo Ann Harris.
American rock band Aerosmith (Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford) appears in the episode. They were the first band to make a guest appearance on the show. Their dialogue was recorded in Boston with Hank Azaria, the voice of Moe, who flew over to record his part with them and help them with their lines.
The episode has been well received by critics and has been included in best Simpsons episode lists by IGN, Entertainment Weekly, AskMen.com and AOL. In its original airing during the November sweeps period, the episode had a 14.4 Nielsen rating and finished the week ranked 29th.
Moe is out of Duff and is struggling to attract customers to his tavern, so Homer tells him about the Flaming Homer, a cocktail he invented in his kitchen one night after Patty and Selma drank all his beer. He mixed drops of liquor from a random assortment of bottles, inadvertently including his children's cough syrup. When ash from Patty's cigarette fell into the concoction and set it aflame, Homer discovered that fire greatly improves its flavor.
Moe then makes a Flaming Homer for a customer, who loves its taste. When the customer asks what the drink is called, Moe insists it is his invention, the Flaming Moe. Word of mouth spreads, leading to a business boom for Moe. The tavern (renamed "Flaming Moe's") goes from being a dive bar to a haunt of celebrities such as Aerosmith, and Moe hires a waitress named Collette to handle the extra customers. Homer is stung by Moe's betrayal and grows increasingly resentful as the tavern continues to thrive.
The Flaming Moe's success attracts the attention of a restaurant chain, which offers Moe $1 million to reveal the secret ingredient. Moe initially refuses, but after Collette pricks his conscience, he decides to take the money and split it with Homer. Before he can finalize the deal, Homer arrives at the tavern and loudly reveals that the secret ingredient is "nothing but plain, ordinary, over-the-counter children's cough syrup". The chain's representative quickly tears up the contract and leaves.
Soon, nearly all the bars and restaurants in Springfield are serving Flaming Moes, leaving Moe's business to dwindle back to normal. Homer visits the tavern, where they reconcile after Moe serves him a Flaming Homer, free of charge.
