TV Show Information
|
Innocence Report was a public-access television program created by Homer Simpson and his family in an attempt to defend him during the scandal surrounding the accusations made against him.
History
Lisa Simpson described the show as a response to the entertainment media, arguing that mainstream television cared more about sensationalism than the truth.
The program was filmed in a small local studio decorated with simple props, including a folding chair, a fern, and an American flag supplied by Grampa Simpson. Introduced by Lisa as “The Innocence Report with Homer Simpson,” the broadcast featured Homer speaking directly to viewers and insisting that he was innocent of harassing the babysitter. During the live broadcast, however, Homer became distracted and nearly admitted unrelated past misbehavior before being interrupted by Marge.
Although the family celebrated after the show aired, the public response was minimal. The station received only two phone calls, one of which was a wrong number, making the program largely unsuccessful in changing public opinion about Homer.
