Beverly D'Angelo as Lurleen Lumpkin

"Colonel Homer" is the twentieth episode of The Simpsons' third season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 26, 1992. In the episode, Homer embarrasses his wife Marge at a movie theater, leading to a big argument between the two. Homer, angry at Marge, visits a redneck bar in the middle of the night where he meets a waitress named Lurleen Lumpkin, a talented singer. Homer becomes Lurleen's manager and tries to make her famous, but he does not appear aware that Lurleen has fallen in love with him. With Marge already upset and thinking Homer is cheating on her, he must decide on the importance of his marriage after Lurleen makes romantic advances toward him.

The episode was written by The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, and directed by Mark Kirkland. It is the only episode of the series for which Groening received an individual writing credit. American singer and actress Beverly D'Angelo guest starred in the episode as Lurleen. Although the character makes several cameo appearances after this episode, Lurleen makes her second full-time appearance sixteen years later in "Papa Don't Leech". The episode features cultural references to songs such as "There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)" by Herman's Hermits and "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc, and the films Deliverance, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and Look Who's Talking.
