It might not have been as good as the previous two, but this episode was still enjoyable. The episode showed a deep character development of Homer and his personality.
Not as many laughs but a grand episode nonetheless.

A Step Down From the First Two!
g-bodyl12 August 2013
This episode, "Homer's Odyssey" is a solid episode but it's not as good as the first two in Season 1. I guess because it hardly has any laughs, but still has some excellent drama. This show also features some excellent character development. Like Bart in the previous episode, Homer gets his chance to shine as we learn more about him.
This episode is about Homer who has been fired from his job because he crashed into an radioactive pipe because he was distracted by Bart's class visiting. So he gets a big chance to become a hero in his town by getting the town of Springfield to add road signs.
Overall, this is a pretty good episode even though it's a step down from the first two. The animation is still a bit rough and choppy, but it will improve. This has a pretty good story and I'm liking the Simpsons so far. I rate this episode 8/10.

Strong and bleak episode
snoozejonc7 June 2022
Homer loses his job and sinks into depression.
This is a good episode that with some quite dark humour relating to pressures of being a father and provider.
My take on this episode has somewhat changed since becoming a father and although it has it's great comedy moments, I find it quite a sad one to contemplate. It all works out fine for Homer, but in many real life instances it is not the case, so what we see him go through in a darkly funny portrayal has a lingering sense of 'what if that happened to me'.
I think my favourite gag involves the boulder, which is a quintessential Homer Simpson moment. The writers turn a desperately bleak situation funny with a hilarious visual. I also enjoyed the bus journey and the first of the running Moe's Tavern jokes.

Like the original Homer's Odyssey, the message of this episode is pretty lost. That's a bad sign.

This episode has a lot of memories for me, because it's the first episode of the Simpsons that I watched as a child of the 1990s. Sadly, rewatching it. I didn't find it, as entertaining as I use to, due to mostly bleak concept. Directed by Wes Archer, and written by Jay Kogen & Wallace Woldoarsky, this episode was the third to be produced, despite being the first to be written. The episode has Homer Simpson (Voiced by Dan Castellaneta), causing an accident at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant which cause Homer getting fired from his supervising technician post. Never wanting it to happen again, he goes on a safety crusade around the city. This actions catch the eyes of his former employer, Mr. Burns (Voiced by Chris Collins AKA Latta) who wish to rehire Homer as safety inspector. When he finds out, that his former employer, Mr. Burns has been dumping nuclear waste in their water supply. Homer Simpson must make a decision, to take the job, and keep it quiet or to go against his former employer and go with the people. Without spoiling it, too much, this episode was a bit disappointing. Clearly the episode had an environment message, with Homer having to choose what is best for the people or what's best for himself. I'd really forgotten how moral and story-focused the Simpsons were in the early episodes. I found Homer Simpson trying to commit suicide, really disturbing. He takes his unemployment very seriously. It gets quite dark. Desperate for a drink, he smashes Bart's piggybank. He resigns to kill himself so he can provide for his family via his life insurance. He snaps out of it when his family nearly get run over and his motivation to make Springfield safer makes his family and the town respect him. So, after seeing the bitter ending. I was kinda disappointed by his last actions. It left a sour taste in my mouth. A better story of this environment concept, came from episode fourth of season 2, 'Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish', which I felt is superior writing in every way. The episode's title comes from the Greek epic poem Odyssey, traditionally attributed to the legendary poet Homer. Some people might confused it for 'Tales from the Public Domain', which is the 14th episode of the 13th season, because the first segment puts Homer Simpson in the role of Odysseus in the ancient Greek epic poem Odyssey. Also notable about this episode, Homer's Odyssey is that Marge was originally called Juliette in this script as a homage to Romeo and Juliet. Thank goodness, they kept the name of Marge, instead. By far, the best thing in the episode, 'Homer Odessey', is the field trip part in the beginning. Much of the good humor comes from that. I love Bart (Voiced by Nancy Cartwright) sitting near Wendell (Voiced by Pamela Hayden) gag. The police sketch of El Barto (Bart as an adult convict) is pretty funny as well. This episode marks the first appearance of recurring supporting characters like Otto, Jasper and Mr. Smithers (Voiced by Harry Shearer), Chief Wiggum (Voiced by Hank Azaria), and Sherri and Terri Winfield (Voiced by Russi Taylor). Blinky the fish also makes a brief cameo. Although Mr. Burns was seen in the pilot episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, this was his first appearance in order of production codes as well as the first use of his name, hence the dramatic music when the camera pans out on him. Although, Simpsons Roasting on an Open had Smithers in an off screen, voice over, it was until here, that he finally appear. It felt a bit safe to say that the animation is below standards here, when it comes to him. His skin color was actually black instead of yellow. This wouldn't be a problem, if only, they didn't go with blue hair for the character. He looks very weird. According to the animators, the person who did the color styling randomly decided the ethnicity of various characters, which usually wasn't much of a problem, but it sort of ruined the white sycophant personality for Smithers. Plus, it would be a bad idea to have a black subservient character. In his next appearance in the fourth episode of season 1 'There's No disgrace like Home', he was colored right. Smithers' skin tone was later explained as an "extreme tan" by the writers. Still, he had blue hair. The animators then went with purple hair in the next episode, until finally with just going with grey. The cartoon at the power plant was given an old-time reel footage feel by having the animation cels dragged across a cement floor to scratch it up. This trick was used several more times by the animators until the show abandoned animation cels in 2002. It was pretty cool to see that. Overall: It wasn't the best episode, but by far, not the worst episode of the seasons. Maybe, if you watch it, without thinking too much about it. Maybe, it would work for you, but for me. It's a one-time watch.
Homer's not as dumb as he looks
BrandtSponseller25 July 2006
Bart was the first out of the gate with deeper character development in season 1's episode 2, Bart the Genius, so now it's Homer's turn in episode 3, Homer's Odyssey.
During a school field trip to the nuclear power plant, Bart, excited to see his dad at work, distracts him. Homer causes an accident--the latest in a string of many, we're told--and gets fired. He's down to his last straw when he becomes consumed with the idea of voluntary public service--he becomes a sort of spokesperson for public safety.
That may sound strange, and it should, because far more than Bart, whose personality has pretty much always been like it was in Bart the Genius, Homer's personality has changed a lot over the years. It's difficult to imagine the Homer of, say, 1999, deciding to go on a liberal crusade, even though later in the series we learn about Homer's hippie past. Maybe it's not so much that Homer has changed over the years, but that he has a far more complex personality than his simpleton exterior suggests. As Mr. Burns says to Homer during this episode, "Hmmm . . . you're not as stupid as you look . . . or sound . . . or our best testing indicates".
Other notable elements of this episode include a great bus ride with Otto through Springfield where we get a better sense of the layout of the city as well as a quick travelogue of some past school field trip destinations, like the Springfield Toxic Waste Dump, the Springfield Tire Yard, and the Springfield State Prison. There's a hilarious mock educational film about nuclear energy (complete with scratchy and out of focus textures). We get to see what Marge's previous job was. Protesters are mildly mocked. We also meet one of my favorite characters, Moe, for the first time, get the first of Bart's infamous prank phone calls to Moe, and get a glimpse into Moe's acerbic personality.

You can tell that the first season is primarily focused on building the world of Springfield, as well as specifically the main family members. I think this episode does that well, although it's not full of comedy like you'd come to expect in later seasons.
Excellent early Simpsons episode
studioAT24 February 2020
If an episode of this quality popped up in modern day 'Simpsons' we'd all be jumping for joy.
However, as it is in amongst a very high quality first series of the show it gets a little lost.
That's not to say that this episode isn't brilliant, because it is. I really like this version of Homer, and the fact that there's drama amongst the comedic moments.
This was great.

Homer as Mr Safety
injury-654475 June 2020
This time after a Bart-centric episode we get a Homer-centric One. We establish Homer as a lazy and unintelligent man but who ultimately has a lot of love for his family and will stick to his principles without compromise. Like Bart he is a character with many flaws but a heart of gold.
This episode Gets dark very quickly as Homer contemplates suicide due to his failure as a family provider. I was shocked at this. I never imagined the show got this real. We get the feeling this is much more than just a simple comedy cartoon - this show is discussing heavy themes.
Not as emotionally impactful as the previous episode. Homer's little journey as a safety officer is not that interesting or integral to his character.
Sets up The incompetent apes who run the Nuclear power plant.
It's very strange seeing Smithers as a brown character. I don't know what that's about.
This is probably typical of the early Simpsons episodes - ones that you watch out of curiosity and for the sake of history, but probably wouldn't want to rewatch. Still a bit crude and unformed.

Homer's Odyssey I'm not too fond of the title, to start with. (Though I admit my cheesy reference to it isn't so brilliant either.) But despite the pun, and the, from what I see it's complete irrelevance to the plot, it's not too bad.
What I see forming here is the beginning of something that I've seen on The Simpsons (and on some other shows as well, every once in a while) but is hardly ever picked up on, which is the gradual transformation between two nearly totally different subjects. For example in this we go from Bart going on a trip to the Power Plant to Homer campaigning for safety in front of said Plant, via unemployment and attempted suicide.
It's better that that technique was used as no particular part of the story strikes me as being great, just too fairly well-written though imperfect stories strung together. Though the acting is on quite a high par (perhaps only surpassed in season 1 by Krusty Gets Busted in terms of skill.) and Homer doesn't seem like the inconsiderate oaf of later seasons, which while that side has it's moments I like Homer's more caring side.
The animation's still pretty poor noticeably the crowd which whilst chattering remains completely still, but overall it's a very fine episode just with a few little problems that would be fixed over time.

Probably the Worst Episode Of The First Season Of the Simpsons, But Season One Was Good(SPOILERS)

I think that Season One of the Simpsons is the most underrated season ever. There were some terrific episodes with some incredible plots. I have always thought that this episode was underrated, being as these episode had really good jokes, and the plot was terrific. My favorite joke in this episode in the following on a nuclear door.
Danger-Severe Radiation
Enter At Your Own Risk
Enjoy Your Visit
I have always loved that joke. Anyway, this is an underrated episode, but it is probably the worst episode of Season One.
Here is the plot of this episode. Homer is fired from his job at the power plant. He has no money and his life is going down the tube. He tries to commit suicide. Then he saves his family from a car. He vows to make Springfield more safe. After his first idea is approved he continues to make the town safe until some people get sick of it. He then takes on the power plant. Then the power plant owner, Mr. Burns, makes him the Safety Inspector at the plant. He promises the people that support that he will make the plant safe.
Overall, this is a good episode of the first season of the Simpsons. I also have noticed over the years that Homer makes the power plant less safe then it was before he was the Safety Inspector. Yeah, he does not keep a promise. I also noticed that Waylon Smithers was black in this episode. He is usually white, or yellow, but this is his first appearance in the entire series. This is the third episode, by the way. Anyway, this episode could have been better, but for a third episode of a series, this is pretty darn good.

Simpsons finds its groove

I've been watching The Simpsons from the beginning, although not the Tracey Ullman shorts. Anyway, I remember Homer's Odyssey and when I saw it at the time, who would have thought that The Simpsons will still be on and on after 35 years. Anyway, Homer's Odyssey sees the character development of Homer Simpsons where he's more than one dimensional, and he really cares for his family and will go at any lengths to provide for them. Homer's Odyssey is quite a landmark because it debuts Bart's first prank call to Moe's Tavern.
Anyway, definitely the first season of The Simpsons is one to watch for sure.

A homely introduction
bpatten-5963717 September 2020
COUCH GAG 2: All of the family sit on the couch and it breaks, popping off the side in all angles. A pretty standard affair yet again, really lacking the creativity of later ideas but at the same time not needing to, it's the beginning of the series and as a taster to what the concept can bring, a decent go around.
"Homer's Odyssey", as the name would suggest, is to introduce the character of Homer properly to the world. Does it do that? Yes, absolutely. It takes the subtle inflexions of his character introduced on "Roasting on an Open Fire" and expands them into a way where Homer feels realised and believable, which lends his firing and demise with a sense of gravitas and reality. It's another great episode, although, still very light on the laughs.

Okay so in the first episode Bart gets a tattoo and he has it surgically removed . In this episode he sees Otto's tatt and claims he wants one. Does he have short term memory loss ? Does he not recall having used his family's life savings to get his own tatt removed ? I don't get it !
Good classic first ep of first season
richspenc7 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"Homers odyssey" was produced before the episode "Simpsons roasting on open fire" was produced but they aired the latter first. I read they did it that way because the Simpsons producers had just finished production and become ready to air the first show right before Christmas 1989, and they decided viewers would like it better if they showed the Christmas episode a few days before Christmas and "Homers odyssey" a couple weeks later rather than vice versa.
This is the first of many episodes where Homer gets fired and then gets his job back at end of episode (I like the episode of that theme a couple seasons later where the Germans take over the plant and fire Homer). This is the only episode where Homer is not already safety inspector at the plant, and starts the episode as technical supervisor, or supervising technician which both Homer and Mr. Burns gets mixed up (and I like the way Burns says it near the end of the ep, "Simpson, I don't want you to come back as technical supervisor or supervising technician or whatever the hell you used to be, I want you to come back in charge of safety"). And that was right after Homer's successful crusade with omitting safety signs all over Springfeild (we see a string of newspaper headlines over Homer's new crusade, and I liked the last headline, "Enough already Simpson!"). Homer crashes his little go cart into a pipe when looking up and seeing Bart and his class on a feildtrip to the plant (and embarrassing Bart). The floor supervisor that fires Homer for his careless accident (Sherry and Terri's dad) is not seen again in later episodes. This was one of the first season's episodes where many familiar Simpsons characters haven't been introduced to the show yet. Carl is Homer's floor supervisor in future episodes, but even that wasn't completely continuous, sometimes Carl was seen more as Homer's co worker along with Lenny. Smithers more often stood in as floor supervisor along with being Burns' lifelong assistant (and secret gay crush but that joke didn't get underway until a few seasons later after the first one). Also commonly pointed out about Smithers having darker skin in this episode, which I read was a mistake by the writers. Smithers conducts Bart's class fieldtrip tour of the plant, and shows the cartoon on nuclear safety, which is the first of many similar styled cartoon presentations for varied events in the series.
This is a good classic episode, and it got quite poignant with Homer's depression increasing as his length of unemployment grows longer, which is common with unemployed people in real life, the longer one is unemployed, the worse depression can get. We get the first Duff commercial, the first school bus ride with carsick Wendel and the other kids' hyjinks and Mrs. Krabappel and the first apearance of Otto (only doing a weak impression of the type of character he will become). And I liked the montage of Homer getting doors slamming in his face while unsuccessfully job hunting. Notice how the first door slammed is an executive office, then a less fancy office, all the way down to a drive through window getting slammed shut. Talk about starting your search at the top and then having to progress down.
It gets a bit dark during the part when Homer smashes Bart's piggy bank, then immediately regrets how low he's now stooped just for a beer to take the edge off his unemployment depression, and then Homer's suicide attempt where he walks a boulder to the river (which is heavy with Homer groaning "nothing is easy"). We also see the Winfield neighbors, one of the earliest characters to leave the show. Their comment to seeing Homer walking with the boulder to jump into the river is hardly with much concern or sympathy. I liked that ray of light Homer sees on the bridge in front of Marge when he decides not to jump and suddenly realizes he found a new purpose. And I liked the town meeting scene (the El Barto picture), and then Homer's sign crusade which eventually gets him a whole crowd on his side who then protests the plant. The cartoon picture quality is a little rougher around the edges and more underdeveloped here than when the series continues on, especially when looking at the people in the crowd outside the plant. I'm sure you can see what I mean.

The Human Spirit
Hitchcoc14 February 2022
Bart observes his father's incompetence as the old man loses his job at the power plant. Home drops into a state of deep malaise. An incident on a bridge leads him to make safety his number one priority and he actually gets a little involved politically (in his own shortsighted way). But it all works out pretty well and is worth a look.
Homer's Odyssey
MrFilmAndTelevisionShow29 March 2021
This episode I think is my personal favourite of the first three episodes. The title is the best so far too, although like the YouTube channel TheRealJims I do think it is surprising they used up this title oppotunity so early. Homer still has his classic deeper, stranger voice but like I keep mentioning in these review it all has a certain charm to it.
