Kredit Kookies: Billboard: For the True Location of Springfield, keep watching! Chalkboard: The true location of Springfield is in any state but yours. Couch Gag: A segment by Bill Plympton, which portrays Homer’s love affair with his couch - which breaks down and changes shape once he finds and marries Marge.

When Homer leaves Bart and Milhouse alone together at the movies, Jimbo asks the ‘non-threatening’ Bart to escort his girlfriend, Shauna, to a movie.This becomes a regular arrangement between them, with Bart taking Shauna everywhere Jimbo won’t go, which in turn leads to a blossoming romance.Unfortunately Jimbo soon finds out about their canoodling, which sends Bart on the run from the bully’s wrath.

Meanwhile, Homer buys a state-of-the-art treadmill with a tv embedded in its monitor.

He subsequently forgets about exercise and becomes obsessed with Stranded, a show Marge tried to convince him to watch years ago, drawing her ire when he goes so far as to create a viewing club for the long-concluded show.

The very simplistic plot of ‘Beware My Cheating Bart’ harkens back to the early days of the show.It’s a simple Bart-falls-in-love-with-the-wrong-girl-and-faces-dire-consequences-for-it plot, done frequently (and better) over the years.What makes this one enjoyable is the Shauna character, who develops, thanks to Lisa, quite a nifty solution to the problem.

Homer and Marge’s subplot is yet another take on the Marge-and-Homer’s-Relationship-Is-In-Trouble-What-Do-We-Do-Now?Plot.Homer developing an obsession with the Lost-alike show was a nice touch.While everyone was in-character, there wasn’t any extra oomph; bonus points should be given for pleasantness, but that only takes a show so far.

In spite of its hopelessly average set-up and delivery, this episode’s got some nice character moments and several jokes (most of them surrounding the ‘Stranded’ parodies) that actually work.
