"Some Enchanted Evening" is the thirteenth, final aired, and first produced episode of The Simpsons' first season and originally aired on the Fox network on May 13, 1990. Although it was the first episode produced, it aired as the season finale due to significant animation problems. The episode features Bart, Lisa, and Maggie's encounter with the notorious Babysitter Bandit. After resolving a marital dilemma, Homer and Marge want to spend a night on the town so they need a babysitter to look after their children. They hire Ms. Botz through a babysitting service. Ms. Botz is later revealed to be the "Babysitter Bandit" and after restraining the eldest children, she robs the family.
The episode features cultural references to such films as The Night of the Hunter and Psycho as well as a musical reference to A Star Is Born. It received mixed reception: some critics deemed it the best episode of the season while others regarded it as the poorest.

“Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
