Lisa's Substitute.

I caught this Simpsons episode the other night, and I agree with an online vote that chose this as the best ever. Dustin Hoffman voices Mr. Bergstrom, a wonderful substitute teacher for Lisa's class that she becomes enamored of.

I have always loved Homer Simpson for two reasons: His unfailing love of television, and no matter how stupid I feel or how bad my day has been, Homer is more stupid and having a worse day.

However, in this one episode, Homer's value to his family is revealed. We find that fathers have many ways to provide support and encouragement to their families.
