The Simpsons Se13 Ep09 Jaws Wired Shut

“Jaws Wired Shut” is the ninth episode of Season 13. It originally aired on January 27, 2002. The episode was written by Matt Selman and directed by Nancy Kruse.

Homer breaks his jaw in an accident, requiring it to be wired shut for a month. His resulting inability to talk makes him a better listener, and he becomes closer to family and friends because of it. They all like the new Homer much better, but when the wires come off and Homer retains his new attitude, everyone begins to miss the old Homer’s antics.
