Here's a look at the very unique opening couch gag for The Simpsons Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition, set to hit Disney+ this Wednesday, June 17th:

"Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition" (June 17th): Homer and Marge's fun couples' date night goes off the rails when Marge learns Homer left the kids unsupervised with only the doorbell camera as a babysitter. Frustrated with her imperfect husband, a tipsy Marge stirs up a trilogy of fantasies of a different Homer.

"Simpsley" (July 3rd): "When penniless con-artist Marge Bouvier is sent to Italy to convince wealthy sap Seymour Skinner to come home, she's tempted by the trappings of his affluent lifestyle. But there's a big fat fly in the ointment: Skinner's clingy, dim-witted mooch of a houseguest, Homer Simpsley. Lies, lust, and Italian lira are abound.

"Yellow Mirror" (August 26th): A defective lamp reveals a heartbreaking truth about what Homer believes is reality, and an AI-powered tablet befriends and controls Maggie. The Simpsons struggle to find the light through two dark tales of the curious and bizarre.

The Simpsons is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Television Animation from creator Matt Groening, developed by James L. Brooks, Groening, and Sam Simon, and executive-produced by Brooks, Groening, and showrunner Matt Selman.
