A faulty computer causes a passenger space shuttle to head straight for the sun, and man-with-a-past Ted Striker must save the day and get the shuttle back on track – again – all the while trying to patch up his relationship with Elaine.

Sledge Hammer! is an American satirical police sitcom produced by New World Television that ran for two seasons on ABC from 1986 to 1988. The series was created by Alan Spencer and stars David Rasche as Inspector Sledge Hammer, a preposterous caricature of the standard "cop on the edge" character. Al Jean and Mike Reiss, best known for their work on The Simpsons, wrote for the show and worked as story editors.

After Homer accidentally pollutes the town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and the Simpsons are declared fugitives.

Todo arranca con Homer desesperado por demostrar que no es tonto, para lo cual se dispone a resolver el caso de la tortuga desaparecida del zoo. La temporada también incluye por primera vez en la historia una doble dosis de episodios de Halloween, uno de los cuales es una parodia de «It» con Krusty el Payaso interpretando al malvado Pennywise.

La temporada 3 de Los Simpson está llena de momentos clásicos. Las estrellas son «Bart, El Asesino», «Lisa, El Oráculo» y «Homer, Bateador». ¡Además, ganó 6 premios Emmy!
