The Simpsons - 02x13 Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment

Summary: Homer becomes the most popular guy in town when he gets an illegal cable hook-up. But Lisa doesn't approve and fears that Homer will go to hell for violating the Eighth Commandment. Lisa seeks advice from Reverend Lovejoy, who simply tells her not to watch the stolen cable. Later, Homer invites all of his new friends over to watch a big fight, but he begins to feel guilty about stealing the transmission and, to lessen his guilt, cuts the cable line.

TRIVIA

The first appearance in the series of Troy McClure, an amalgamation of Troy Donahue and Doug McClure. Years after the latter's death, one of the writers met one of McClure's daughters who told him that their father loved the fact that he was satirized on the show - though he didn't realize that behind his back his children referred to him as Troy McClure.
The title of the episode is somewhat confusing for those of the Catholic or Lutheran denomination as the commandment which forbids stealing is the seventh as opposed to the eighth.
