Star Character
Selma
Final Thoughts – This episode is a much deeper episode than we have seen before, one because we focus on a story mostly outside the main Simpson family and two because it does address loneliness in a certain age. I did like this episode a lot, I feel this episode gave the show the chance to have episode about other people in Springfield not just the main family.
Rating 5/5
