Replaceable You

"Replaceable You" is the fourth episode of the twenty-third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

"Replaceable You" was seen by approximately eight million viewers during its original broadcast, and it has received mixed reviews from critics.

Homer is initially happy to get an organized, cheerful, new assistant at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, a very tall woman named Roz Davis.

Roz proceeds to charm the regulars at Moe's Tavern while finding dozens of ways to make Homer's job miserable.

When Bart and Martin go to the Springfield Retirement Castle, the senior citizens see the seal visibly cheer up Jasper and the value of the invention becomes clear.

The group figures out the wiring secret and reworks the seals so their fury returns, causing the death of Mrs. Glick.

Bart and Martin enlist the aid of Professor Frink who then gets a larger group of nerds to remotely hack into the robot software and make them nice again.

[7] In an interview with the website Hollywood Outbreak, she commented that "It was pretty amazing to every once in a while look up at his face and go 'Oh my God, it's that guy that does that voice.

In a blog written by Ledesma, it was revealed prior to the airing of the episode that it would contain the use of the waltz "Tales from the Vienna Woods" by Johann Strauss II as well as a musical cue similar to the style of the main theme from the film Catch Me If You Can.

[11][12][13] The Simpsons became the highest-rated program in Fox's Animation Domination lineup that night in terms of total viewers and in the 18–49 demographic, finishing before new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad!, and Allen Gregory.
