"Super Franchise Me" is the 3rd episode of the 26th season of the animated series ''The Simpsons'', and the 555th episode of the series overall. It aired on October 12, 2014, in the United States, on the Fox network. The episode sees Marge open a sandwich franchise after her sandwiches become popular, but begin to struggle when Cletus opens with the same franchise across the road. The episode was dedicated to the memory of Jan Hooks, who had died on October 9. ==Plot== Ned Flanders and his sons are trying to reduce their use of electricity in the house but discover that Homer is using their electricity to power a Ferris Wheel and a freezer full of meat. When Flanders takes the freezer away (since Homer had "borrowed" it from him), Marge puts the meat to use by making sandwiches, which prove popular at Springfield Elementary School when Bart and Lisa take them there as currency. Trudy Zangler of Mother Hubbard's Sandwich Cupboard advises Marge to open a franchise with the company. It initially struggles due to its incompetent staff (firing Gil Gunderson for doing two jobs at once and Shauna Chalmers for stealing the register money), but begins to make profit when the family take over. However, business slows again when another outlet with the same franchise opens across the road,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thefutoncritic.com/listings/20140917fox17/ )〕 operated by Cletus and his family. Marge is depressed and goes to Moe's, who tells her a scam to get out of her contract with the franchise. Homer goes into the restaurant in disguise and is attacked in the crotch by Bart, then sues the company rather than the franchise due to conditions in the contract. Trudy gives Marge back all of her costs and Marge exults that things turned out relatively well for the family as they broke even. The episode ends with a scene showing a caveman Homer making the first ever sandwich from ground sloth meat between two squirrels, but then he wanders to his death inside a tar pit. In the present, Homer admires the fossilized sandwich. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Franchise Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
