The Seven-Beer Snitch

"The Seven-Beer Snitch" is the fourteenth episode of the sixteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

Mr. Burns forces Chief Wiggum to reinstate old and forgotten laws to fill his prison with convicts and make more money.

Using the key to the concert hall given to her as head of the Springfield Cultural Activities Board, Marge finds Homer in the kitchen with the other prisoners on his tail.

Homer runs into the concert hall, claiming the building is a death trap, in response to a dream he had after watching The Towering Inferno.

[1] According to Matt Chaban of The New York Observer, "Because of his successful style, Frank Gehry sometimes comes under criticism for being a hack whose buildings all look the same—even if in their 50th iteration, those waving bands of metal still look amazing, fresh and different.

[1] As a result of the scene, according to Gehry, many people believe this is how he actually received the inspiration for his real-life buildings, particularly the Walt Disney Concert Hall, though this is not the case.

[3][4] He previously guest starred on the series as different characters starting with the twelfth season episode "Pokey Mom".

[6] Walter J. Keegan, Jr. of TV Squad would have preferred more from Mr. Burns and noticed that Marge's intelligence was getting worse when she was describing Frank Gehry.

"[8] On Four Finger Discount, Brendan Dando and Guy Davis liked the return of the evil Mr. Burns instead of the old bumbling one but did not like that the subplot involving Bart did not have an ending.

[9] In 2007, Simon Crerar of The Times listed Gehry's performance as one of the thirty-three funniest cameos in the history of the show.
