Couch gag rating: 8/10 It's the same couch gag from a prior episode in the season, Simpson and Delilah.
Right after the couch gag is a great scene. It takes place at Mt. Sinai as Moses reads the commandments from God... hilariously in no particular order. Phil Hartman plays Charlton Heston's Moses. It doesn't get much better than that.
The episode: Homer gets a cable hookup which isn't exactly legal. Lisa learns in Sunday School about the Ten Commandments and worries that the family will go to Hell for stealing cable.
This episode provides the perfect opportunity for The Simpsons to satirize cable programming. This episode also helped establish the moral code existing within the show for years to come. This episode makes us question our every day actions and how we justify them.
Favorite moment(s): Phil Hartman as Moses. Homer's foot. Bart's "Man, I wish I was an adult so I could break the rules."
Overall rating: 9/10 Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment showcases the first appearances of both Troy McClure and Drederick Tatum. It shouldn't be missed on that alone.
