It took 689 episodes for Martha's Vineyard to get The Simpsons treatment last November 8.
Season 32, Episode 5, titled The Seven Beer Itch, features the voice of Olivia Coleman as a British femme fatale who "like The Beatles and balmy weather, was too hot for England to handle." She leaves behind the men at The Brexiteering Swan pub for Springfield, the town that "put the sit in obesity." Meanwhile, Marge's Aunt Edith invites the Simpsons to vacation at her home on the Vineyard, located "south of Squibagansett, east of Codtucket, next to Little Crabkill Bog." Aunt Edith's invitation has just one condition: no Homer.
Lily, Olivia Coleman's character, arrives in Springfield and in short order has Moe and the Duff-swilling men at the bar swooning over her, save for Homer who misses Marge. The script has a few good Vineyard barbs, especially when the merchants in lockstep raise their prices in their shop windows the moment a ferry of tourists reaches shore. Surprisingly, the Kennedys are spared. Alan Dershowitz is not.
