It first aired on <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> in the United States on January 10, 1999. In the episode, <a href="/wiki/Ned_Flanders" title="Ned Flanders">Ned Flanders</a>, who is revealed to be 60 years old, feels that he has not lived his life to the fullest. He asks for help from his neighbor, <a href="/wiki/Homer_Simpson" title="Homer Simpson">Homer Simpson</a>, who takes Ned to <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas" title="Las Vegas">Las Vegas</a> to show him "the right way to live". However, while there, the two become intoxicated and accidentally marry two cocktail waitresses named Amber and Ginger. </p><p>The episode was written by <a href="/wiki/David_M._Stern" title="David M. Stern">David M. Stern</a> and directed by <a href="/wiki/Neil_Affleck" title="Neil Affleck">Neil Affleck</a>. The revelation of Ned's age was heavily debated between the <i>Simpsons</i> staff, and the decision to make him 60 years old could have been inspired from a joke by <i>Simpsons</i> writer <a href="/wiki/Ron_Hauge" title="Ron Hauge">Ron Hauge</a>. A scene in the episode, as well as the episodes closing credits, features the song "<a href="/wiki/Viva_Las_Vegas_(song)" title="Viva Las Vegas (song)">Viva Las Vegas</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Elvis_Presley" title="Elvis Presley">Elvis Presley</a>, although the staff originally wanted a version of the song performed by <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen" title="Bruce Springsteen">Bruce Springsteen</a>. <a href="/wiki/The_Moody_Blues" title="The Moody Blues">The Moody Blues</a> guest-starred as themselves in the episode, and the episode marked the first appearance of the cocktail waitresses Amber and Ginger, who were voiced by <a href="/wiki/Pamela_Hayden" title="Pamela Hayden">Pamela Hayden</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tress_MacNeille" title="Tress MacNeille">Tress MacNeille</a> respectively. </p><p>The episode was nominated for the <a href="/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Awards" title="Primetime Emmy Awards">Primetime Emmy Award</a> for <a href="/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Animated_Program" title="Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program">Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming less than One Hour)</a> in 1999, which it ultimately lost to <i><a href="/wiki/King_of_the_Hill" title="King of the Hill">King of the Hill</a></i>. Following the tenth season's release on DVD, the episode received mostly positive reviews from critics. Amber and Ginger have appeared in later episodes in the series, the first time being the <a href="/wiki/The_Simpsons_season_13" title="The Simpsons season 13">season 13</a> episode "<a href="/wiki/Brawl_in_the_Family_(The_Simpsons)" title="Brawl in the Family (The Simpsons)">Brawl in the Family</a>", which serves as a continuation of "Viva Ned Flanders". </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Viva_Ned_Flanders&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Mr._Burns" title="Mr. Burns">Mr. Burns</a>'s Casino (from the episode "<a href="/wiki/$pringfield_(or,_How_I_Learned_to_Stop_Worrying_and_Love_Legalized_Gambling)" title="$pringfield (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)">$pringfield</a>", which was moved along with the rest of the city in "<a href="/wiki/Trash_of_the_Titans" title="Trash of the Titans">Trash of the Titans</a>" for reasons that Homer doesn't get the chance to articulate) is about to get demolished; however, confusion over whether demolitions are supposed to involve <a href="/wiki/Building_implosion" title="Building implosion">implosions</a> or explosions results in the casino being blasted into a huge dust cloud. The family goes to the car wash to get rid of the dust, and when Homer is there, he sees Ned Flanders get a <a href="/wiki/Senior_discount" class="mw-redirect" title="Senior discount">senior discount</a>. Homer thinks Ned is lying about his age and tries to expose him at church, but Ned proves he really is 60 years old. People are impressed that Ned looks so young for his age and remark that he must take exceptional care of himself, but when Ned says that he follows the three "c"s of success — clean living, chewing thoroughly, and "a daily dose of vitamin Church!" — they start to pity him for having never, in their view, truly lived at all. Ned reluctantly agrees with this. After failing on his own initiative to live more freely, Ned asks Homer to teach him the secret to his lust for life, which Homer agrees to do in after Ned gives him power of attorney and agrees to do pretty much everything Homer tells him to do. </p><p>Homer takes a nervous Ned on a gambling trip to <a href="/wiki/Las_Vegas" title="Las Vegas">Las Vegas</a> (having briefly forgotten that Mr. Burns' Casino had just been demolished).

Ned is shocked that he was captivated and more shocked that he kind of wanted to see Homer get blown to pieces during the stunt. They wander into a casino called "<a href="/wiki/Caesars_Palace" title="Caesars Palace">Nero's Palace</a>" and begin to play <a href="/wiki/Roulette" title="Roulette">roulette</a>. Ned protests against games of chance because of <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Deuteronomy" title="Book of Deuteronomy">Deuteronomy</a> 7, but Homer ignores him and takes the reference as a lucky number. They lose everything but Homer is not bothered by this, to Ned's further amazement. They then go to the casino's bar, and Ned gives into temptation and gets drunk on <a href="/wiki/Spritzer" title="Spritzer">white wine spritzers</a>. </p><p>Homer and Ned <a href="/wiki/Hangover" title="Hangover">wake up the next morning</a> in their hotel room married to two cocktail waitresses: Homer's new wife is named Amber, and Ned's new wife is Ginger; ironically these were also the two Nero's Palace waitresses who served them their drinks.
