Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson (1997), a former resident of New York, had conceived the idea of having the family travel to the city to locate their missing car and believed it to be "a classic Manhattan problem". Bill Oakley, who had visited the World Trade Center when the construction of the towers was completed in 1973, suggested parking the car in the plaza of the buildings. Josh Weinstein observed that, "When we realized that there was a plaza between the two towers, we knew it was a perfect spot to have Homer's car."
- GoofsThe amount of damage of the windows and headlights on Homer's car changes throughout the finale.
- Quotes
Homer Simpson: [drunk] Goodnight, Barney. Don't forget to bring back my car back tomorrow. Just slide it under the door.
- Alternate versionsA new heavily edited version of "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" is airing in syndication. All references to Homer's wrecked car parked at the World Trade Center, including shots of the towers and verbal references, are badly cut out.

Beautiful.
The mark of a really great piece of writing shows itself subtly in the form of feeling effortless, and that what's this episode did. It took a relatively simple premise, jacked it up with superb writing and its famous satire, creating something unfailingly slick and entertaining.
The episode left us with one of the most memorable pieces of humour in Simpsons' history ("No pizza, only Khlav Kalash!") and more other golden jokes than you shake a stick at.
Despite the higher-res, broadened colour palette and higher levels of consistency of the show's newer animation style, this episode did particularly well in highlighting the beauty of hand-drawn animation and how much more expressive it can be.
