Four Great Women and a Manicure

Four Great Women and a Manicure is a great Simpsons episode with very well written stories and loads of very funny scenes. It's certainly a unique episode, we've seen the characters telling stories before, but these were much wackier, almost like Treehouse of Horror with more innocence, and it consists of four stories instead of the usual three. However, I felt they should have stuck with three stories, the last three were interesting and inspired, the Queen Elizabeth one was a weak start, it felt very thrown in and forced, like they had time to do another segment that they weren't very pushed on writing. My favourite segment was definitely the Snow White one, I loved the several digs it made at Disney and the casting for the dwarfs was hilarious, the Lady Macbeth part was also very funny and easily could have been a Treehouse of Horror segment, and Maggie Roark was very different for the series in general, Jodie Foster's guest appearance was particularly interesting. Four Great Women and a Manicure isn't the highlight of the shows landmark twentieth season, but it's certainly a fun episode.

While they wait for a manicure, Marge and Lisa bond by telling each other stories of great women in history.

Four Great Women and a Manicure is an okay episode. This is an anthology episode, so I will be writing a mini review for all four segments. Yes, I said four. Most anthology Simpsons episodes have three segments, but this episode has four. And other four segment anthology episodes have come out after that. I'm talking to you The Fight Before Christmas. Anyway because of this all of the oter segments felt rushed just to make way for the fourth one. For me The Wettest Stories Ever Told marked when these anthology episode started to decline. Now, I'll start the review!!

Segment #1 Queen Elizabeth. First off all, this segment depicted Queen Elizabeth as a snooby rich idiot. I don't know why Marge was saying how good of a person she was when in fact her story depicts her as a bad person. Besides that the segment is a little boring and isn't that funny. Also the segmentfelt very rushed. If it was a little less rushed it would be a bit more, let's say meaningful. I give this segment a 4.9 out of 10.

Segment #2, Snow White. This was probably my favorite segment. It had clever fairy tale references and I personally think it is very funny. Snow White felt very spoiled though. Well, at least they didn't say that she was a good person when Lisa was telling the story. Also the story felt very rushed. It could have benefited from some more run time. I give this segment a 7.7 out of 10.

Segment #3, Macbeth. This is my second favorite segment. Well, it's also my second least favorite segment. Marge said that Macbeth was a great women held back by bad husband. Well, Macbeth is always pushing Macbeth to kill other cast members. Besides that, this segment is a pretty funny segment. Although it's the most non rushed segment, this segment still felt that it needed more time. Maybe instead of 5 minutes 8 minutes? That's around the same time as a Treehouse of Horror segment runs. I give this segment a 7.1 out of 10.

Segment #4, Maggie Simpson. This segment isn't based off of Maggie Simpson, but this segment is about Maggie Simpson. To me this segment is just mean spirited. That daycare center guy just acted like it was a crime to be smart. Seriously!! I can't tell if this is Family Guy or the Simpsons. I give this segment a 4.9 out of 10.

This anthology episode was funny, but it was also mean spirited too. This also felt a little rushed. In all, I give this a 6.5 out of 10.

This episode (or particularly the 3rd part involving Macbeth) actually brings back loads of nostalgia from my personal life back in October 2017. You have no idea! It's very nostalgic to me personally! I wish I had watched it back in October 2017, but I never did, until August 2019. That, was a huge mistake and I wish I never made it.

The writing really gone downhill episode wasn't funny its lame most of Lisa episodes isn't funny just annoying its not worth a watch its best go for older episodes.
