The boys are back dipping in to Season 2 for the very first time.

We learn just how wee Dany DeVito is, Britain's answer to Detroit and Tom Quizzes Mark on what EU states have the highest number of bastard children!

"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" is the fifteenth episode in the second season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 21, 1991. In the episode, Grampa confesses that Homer has a half-brother named Herbert Powell, a car manufacturer. Herb permits Homer to design his company's new car, which is an overpriced monstrosity that bankrupts him.


The episode was written by Jeff Martin and directed by Wes Archer. American actor Danny DeVito provided the voice of Herb. 


Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 15.4, and was the highest-rated show on Fox the week it aired. Some fans were upset with the sad ending of the episode, so the producers decided to write a sequel, "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?", in which Herb regains his fortune and forgives Homer.
