Homer's trying to reply to all the emails
Thousands of Simpsons fans have got e-mails - from Homer himself!

His e-mail address - chunkylover53@aol.com - appeared on an episode of the cartoon in America.

Homer had hired a private detective to keep an eye on Lisa and the snoop e-mailed him back at that address.

'He's giving advice'

Straight away, thousands of fans sent in messages to see if they'd get a reply.

Homer's email inbox filled up straight away

And they did!

The show's writer Matt Selman logged in the night that the episode aired and the inbox was immediately filled with the maximum number of responses.

"He's tried to answer every one of them and then as soon as he answers a hundred, a hundred more pop in," said The Simpsons executive producer, Al Jean.

"He's trying to answer them as Homer and give advice."
