Not knowing much about the Simpsons is one of the greatest things of not having had television in my life, ever.

In a douple pane window on a hot day, (with AC on) heat from outside passes(conducts) through the exterior pane of glass and warms the molecules of gas resting against it causing them to spread apart (expand) and become lighter than air further away - but within the space. This boundry layer of gas rises because it is now slighty warmer than air in the middle of the gap. As it continues upward it takes on more heat energy and accellerates. At the top of the window it jams up against the spacer, floats over to the cooler interior glass surface and becomes more dense as it gives up heat to the cool interior pane, which causes it to fall.

I started to replace my old (historic?) 1920s windows with energy efficient windows, however, after replacing two of fourteen windows I decided that keeping the original windows might be the smartest thing to do..
