When Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are occupied watching The Itchy & Scratchy Show, Homer sends them outside to fly a kite so he can watch bowling. The kite gets tangled in the TV antenna and distorts the picture. Homer is forced to climb up onto the roof to restore it. As he is tugging and pulling at the kite, he falls off the roof while getting its signal back. The channel lands on Itchy & Scratchy once again and Bart, Lisa, and Maggie continue watching.
