So I had a dream last night that I was watching the British version of the Simpsons. In this dream, the British version was the original, and it was live action, maybe even black and white. The father had two sons, and he was a "simp", so that's why they named the show The Simpsons - the show was really about the two kids getting into trouble. It's like a pun, or a palindrome, or something like that. In this episode, Homer puts in a hot tub, even though the family really can't afford it. While he's staring at his hot tub and daydreaming, we see the cartoon version of him flying around the yard in an inner tube and splashing into the hot tub and splooshing water all over his wife and two sons, and oh yeah, I think there was a baby. And then it turned back to live action and Homer's in the hot tub in his clothes and Marge is soaked and furious, and I don't think she had blue hair. Kind of platinum blonde/whitish done up in a beehive.

I think Homer was also really mad at the guys who put in the hot tub, because they didn't tell him that he had to rake all the leaves off his lawn all summer because if he didn't, they might catch fire and damage the heating coils underground or something (not sure why there were so many leaves on the ground in the summer - maybe it's a British thing, obviously the "heating coils" are a mystery as well). So he ends up spending all summer working on the lawn and not enjoying his hot tub, except at night when he has to sleep in it because Marge is still mad at him.

Oh, and I think one of the kids revealed he was gay in this episode. It was a real tear-jerker.
