Homer and Lisa Episodes are Always Enjoyable,
The Dad Who Knew Too Little is a fantastic Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and loads of very funny scenes.I love every scene with Homer and Lisa in this episode,particularity the scenes where he tries to prove to her that he knows her more than she thinks,I always enjoy episodes that team the two of then together,because they are the two members of the family that are the least like one another,and seeing these two different personalities work together is always a lot of fun.My favourite scene of the fourteenth season is in this episode,where Chief Wiggum finds out the whereabouts of Homer and Lisa and says he'll go search for them after dinner,then himself,Lou and Eddie smile at Marge,hinting at her,I find this part absolutely hilarious no matter how many times I've seen it,even when I know exactly whats coming.The Man Who Knew Too Little is a great Simpsons episode.
When Lisas birthday approaches,she wants Homer to buy her this new journal called "The Girl-Tech Diary",but when they're all sold out,Homer makes a video about Lisa instead,which makes her realise that Homer doesn't know anything about her.To try and prove her wrong,he hires a detective to follow Lisa and find out her hobbies and interests.
