Homer gets a collection of magazine surveys. He gives everyone the various tests. After driving Marge crazy, he decides to take a test himself. He takes one that says he has three years to live. With that idea in his head, he develops a bad case of insomnia. Additionally he becomes completely insane. A shrink recommends a visit to Florida to cure his stress. When he and the family arrive, they find that it is Spring Break. Homer sneaks out of his room to enjoy the celebration and attend concerts. Marge and the kids take a tour of the swamps and see the town's most famous alligator. Homer comes home from the concert and is so exhausted and drunk that he sleeps for the remainder of Spring Break. Homer takes the family on a joyride through the swamp and kills the town's most famous alligator. The sheriff arrests the whole family for "gatorcide." Homer escapes police custody with them. A train hits their car as they escape. They all get blue-collar jobs at a Deep South restaurant and stay in a trailer. They love their new lives. The sheriff finds them and hauls them in. After a trial, they end up on a chain gang. After they suffer through forced labor, the alligator turns out to be alive and the Simpson family gets to go home.
The episode is called "Kill the Aligator and Run", and it's so horrible that I refuse to watch it whenever it's on. Even out of the crop of crap from seasons 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, Kill The Alligator and Run stands out above all the other in crapocity. Awful!!!

We Built This City (On Rock and Roll) by Starship. I can't stand that song...although it was sung in a Simpsons episode.
I saw a poll recently where "built this city" was voted the worst of all time.....by the way, ebony and ivory was in the top ten....it's a shame that two awesome talents like macca and wonder couldn't have come up with an idea better than "hey you're black and i'm white, lets write a song together" sad moment for both.

What about Saddlesore Galactica? That was terrible.
Yes, Saddlesore Galactica was pretty friggin terrible. But I think that Kill the Alligator and Run surpasses even it in absolute crappiness. I can't imagine a worse episode. I mean Kid Rock and Joe C were guest stars for gosh sake. And Homer killed the alligator, and then magically at the end he wasn't dead but just unconcious and waltzed out of the governors mansion? What a load of horse mess!

I know, but the show in it's early years was on a comedic level of Shakespearian intelligence. Now it's all a bunch of lame crotch gags and drunk, jerk-a** Homer jokes.

I agree the first handful of years was brilliant, then they went thru a few flat seasons in the middle, they kind of lost it, but then they pulled it back off (new writers presumably). The last 5, 6 years have been pretty good. No show is going to be perfect each episode but the Simpson's manage to have at least 2 or 3 funny things in each show. They have really good writers with legacy characters.
