The Simpsons and RTR


Recommended Posts

Does anybody remember that episode of The Simpsons where Brad Goodman, a self help guru, comes to Springfield? Before he comes to town, Homer and Marge watch one of his videos and get inspired to learn how to communicate with each other in a more peaceful way. I think one of their interactions in the episode is like THE perfect example of a Real Time Relationship going right. Tell me what you think. It sort of went like this:

Homer and the kids are in the living room, and Marge comes in asking, "Homer, did you eat my whole pan of brownies?"

And Bart's like, "uh oh you're in for it now, dad."

So Homer goes into the kitchen and the kids watch as they hide behind the door frame, expecting him to get scolded by Marge.

Homer starts off with saying, "Marge, I'm feeling a lot of shame right now..."

She says, "I'm hearing that you're feeling a lot of shame."

"And I feel that you hear my shame."

"I'm feeling annoyance and frustration, but also tolerance," Marge says with a slow smile overcoming her frown.

And Homer just says, "I feel validated by that."

"Good, I'm glad we had this talk."

"Me too," and Homer just walks away whistling while Bart and Lisa look at each other in confusion.

Would this be a good example of how RTR could go right?

wow great quote lol I would love to see a video clip!

 

The episode is called Bart's Inner Child, it is the 7th episode of the 5th season. If you know how to access free streaming shows online there's the info. I would post a direct link but I dont know what the rules are here for posting "illegally pirated" content on the interwebz.
