    Beautiful!

    Even if the golden days of The Simpsons are long gone, they still sometimes come up with surprisingly good episodes. This wholesome, sweet episode has just one storyline, and carries it through beautifully, showcasing the perfect symbiosis that Marge and Homer have built over the years.

    I'm definitely stealing Marge's brilliant diy knee pad idea!

    A great Homer and Marge episode

    Not going to lie, this was one of the best Homer and Marge episodes in recent memory. This episode tells us, without using words, why Homer and Marge are, and always will be, husband and wife.

    A Return To Form

    This episode chooses to focus on development, and it does that very well. The sole storyline that carries throughout the episode really benefits it, rather than having to shove in a B-Plot that may not even get resolved, it dedicates its energy to making one story the best that they can. I think this is a solidly good episode, and definitely one of the best from the "New Simpsons"

    This was the best ever

    Really showed why Homer and Marge ae the perfect couple. They know each other and are satisfied with it. Way to go Matt. This is typical with kids viewing ther parents through the dreams that THEY want, not their parents.

    Marge & Homer

    An excellent episode. My favorite from this season after the two part "A Serious Flanders".

    Probably my favorite Marge & Homer episode since the flashback episode in season 2......"The Way We Was".

    Recommended!!!
