In this episode we see Moe the bartender steal a drink idea from Homer and become rich and famous as a result. Poor Homer sets out to prove the fact that Moe stole his idea, all with hilarious results. We also see some famous guest voices from the band Aerosmith, with Bart's teacher, Mrs. Krabappel, hilariously trying to seduce the members of the band. The opening theme and credits of the TV show Cheers is also parodied as the Flaming Moe's bar. We also see one Bart's famous Moe's prank calls backfire on him for once as the fake name he uses turns out to be a real person. Definitely one of the best Simpsons episodes from the early years of the series.

I thought this episode of the simpsons was really really well done. It is easily the best episode of season 3.

This is what happens in the episode: (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)Moe and his tavern are in serious financial trouble. After he runs out of beer, Homer decides to tell him about a drink recipe that he accidentally invented one night, called the "Flaming Homer". He explains that after Patty and Selma made the Simpson family watch slides from their latest vacation, he was unable to find a beer (after Patty took the last can). He decided to mix together drops of liquor from near-empty bottles and accidentally included a bottle of Krusty Brand non-narcotic cough syrup. When Patty dropped cigarette ash in the drink and set it on fire, Homer discovered that fire greatly enhanced the flavor of the drink.

Moe steals Homer's recipe and begins serving the "Flaming Moe" as his own concoction. Moe sees his business boom, and his tavern soon becomes one of the trendiest nightspots in Springfield and Aerosmith's official hangout. Homer becomes angry with Moe and vows never to return to the tavern. He subsequently becomes obsessed with Moe and his betrayal.

A Flaming HomerAfter the waitress Moe has hired discovers that Moe stole the recipe from Homer, she convinces him to sell the drink and give half of the money to Homer. Restaurant chain owners become interested in purchasing the secret ingredient for the drink, offering Moe $1,000,000 for it.

Moe is about to accept the deal — and share half of the money with Homer — when Homer arrives at the tavern and climbs on top of Aerosmith's set. He gets his revenge on Moe by revealing to everyone in the bar that the secret ingredient is ordinary cough syrup.

Within days, nearly all restaurants in Springfield are serving Flaming Moes (under slightly altered names, such as Flaming Meaux), and Moe's business has greatly decreased. Homer stops in and finds that Moe now understands what he did wrong and is not angry at Homer. He even gives Homer a "Flaming Homer" on the house.

10/10 :D

Homer Simpson makes lean aka purple drank aka cough syrup + alcohol - and lights it on fire

Flaming Moe's is from the third season of The Simpsons, which has to be one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, well the first 10 seasons really with some episodes beyond that worth watching. Here Aerosmith guest star as themselves as they celebrate Moe's success with Flaming Moe's, but really it's Moe who stole Homer's idea, and we see just how Homer struggles with this, and how Moe kind of struggles with how he betrayed Homer even though they are great buddies.

The ending was kind of a comeuppance for Moe and at the end Homer and Moe make up and become friends all over again as though the saga never happened.

One of the most popular episodes I am sure, "Flaming Moe's" is one of the best of the series. A standout highlight in all of season 3; it may be the best of the whole season. So basically, to put things into perspective quickly, Homer is at Moe's and there are no available beers, and Homer isn't even able to grab that last drops from the beer tap given Barney already has, so he gives Moe what's essentially an own formula he mixed together one night when Patty and Selma were over showing their slides. Homer mixes around with some bits from leftover drinks, with the "secret ingredient" if you will, being none other than Children's cough syrup. Add it all together and mix it with the final touch of a lit cigarette falling into its contents, thus setting alight the cup and you're left with what is known as a Flaming Homer.

Well, a Flaming Moe, as Moe quickly becomes something of a small time celebrity after "coming up with it" himself. The bar becomes Flaming Moe's, and the episode follows Homer and Moe as Moe becomes a welcomed bartender with celebrities even making their name known, alongside the likes of Aerosmith, legendary rock band. Oh, and Krusty the Clown is also there. Yayyyy. Homer becomes jealous and tired of Moe taking this as his own, but the episode is very funny and written well and to me it is a top tier Simpsons episode overall. Very memorable one.
