Catch ‘Em If You Can is an episode‑style programme that follows the familiar Simpson family dynamics. It is presented as a self‑contained story, offering a snapshot of the characters’ everyday mischief and the occasional attempt at romance. The format keeps the focus tight, delivering a concise narrative that centres on a single, humorous premise. In this particular instalment, Marge and Homer manage to slip away for what they call a second honeymoon. Their plan is to enjoy some uninterrupted time together, away from the usual household chaos. However, their children, Bart and Lisa, are quick to notice the covert getaway and are resolute in their intention to prevent the couple from having any privacy. Bart and Lisa’s determination drives the episode’s conflict. The siblings are intent on denying their parents any chance of a quiet escape, constantly intervening to keep the adults in check. Their actions underscore a typical family tug‑of‑war, where the youngsters’ curiosity and meddling clash with the adults’ desire for a brief reprieve.

This simple yet relatable scenario fuels the humour and keeps the story moving, highlighting the ever‑present push‑and‑pull that defines life in the Simpson household.
