“Homer to the Max” is the thirteenth episode of Season 10. It aired on February 7, 1999. The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Pete Michels.
When the new television show, “Police Cops,” premiers with a savvy character holding Homer’s full name, the real-life Homer enjoys mock-stardom en masse. But when the show is retooled to give the character a Gomer Pyle-like facade, Homer changes his name to Max Power to escape the laughing and taunts of fellow townspeople.
