"The Man Who Came to Be Dinner" is the tenth episode of season 26 of The Simpsons and the five-hundred and sixty-second episode overall. It originally aired on January 4, 2015. The episode was written by Al Jean and David Mirkin and directed by David Silverman.
Synopsis[edit]
- "During a trip to "Dizzneeland", the Simpsons board the wrong ride, Rocket to Your Doom, and are transported through the galaxy to Kang and Kodos' home planet, where they are held captive at the local zoo and the inhabitants decide to eat Homer."
Production[edit]
The episode was originally scheduled to air on May 19, 2013 as the finale of season 24, but was replaced by "Dangers on a Train";[1] so as a result, the production code is much older than the rest of season 26.
The explanation for the episode being delayed was explained on Twitter by Al Jean on December 31, 2014 and later by writer David Mirkin on January 3, 2015. Both said the episode was explored as a second The Simpsons Movie option.[2][3]
