On The Simpsons episode ‘Friends and Family,’ Mr. Burns hires all of The Simpsons (except Homer) to play a family virtual-reality game with him. While Mr. Burns plays the father figure, Homer gets to know his new next-door neighbor Julia. There’s a reason why he likes her (at first) — she acts just like Homer.
