    Fun Episode but Certainly Could Have Been Better,

    Wedding for Disaster is a great Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and some very funny scenes.I liked this episode,but judging from its story matter I certainly think it could have been better,the idea of Marge and Homer having a real wedding seemed great,but it just didn't deliver as much as I had hoped.My favourite parts of the episode were certainly the Saw parody,which was hilarious,and Sideshow Bobs cameo,although I would have liked Bob to have a more important role.Wedding for Disaster is a very fun Simpsons episode.

    After Reverend Lovejoy discovers that he wasn't legally able to marry Homer and Marge at the time,they decide to have their first real wedding,but it ends up being a lot more complicated that the long time couple expected.

    Episode for Disaster

    Wedding for Disaster is a horrible episode. I have watched 16 other season 20 episodes and there was 3 bad, 5 okay, 5 good, and 5 really good episodes. This episode is one of the 3 bad episodes. For me, this is the worst episode of the season. It's not as bad as Boys of Bummer, but that's every Simpsons episodes that are worse than this. There's only one episode worse than this monstrosity. Only one. This episode is just soo mean spirited. Just like Boys of Bummer 😖😠. Characters like Ned Flanders and Patty and Selma have gone through serious Flanderatazion. It's just terrible. The episode started off okay, but then it became like a 5.9 for me. Then it slightly improved to like a 6.4, then it dropped. Do you know what I would give this episode now? A 2.9. That's right, a 2.9. How does an episode decline so much to get a 2.9? Well, I don't want to add any spoilers but I'll say just two letters. P. B. That's it. Well, you already know my score so let's just end this review. But I have something to say to the creators. Make the characters who they were in the golden age.

    • Trivia
      The first name of Marge's father, Clancy, appears in the series for the first time on Homer and Marge's wedding certificate. His name had appeared in various Simpsons companion books before this, but was not made canon until this episode.
    • Goofs
      When Bart and Lisa confront Sideshow Bob, Mr. Teeny drops a cigarette from his mouth, the cigarette then disappears. In the next shots Mr. Teeny himself also vanishes; this might be explained with Mr. Teeny running off during the brief shot of Bart before Krusty's dialogue.
