    Marge starts spending all her time over at Moe's, because of a thing homer did which technically makes her part owner. However, she starts never leaving, and Homer worries that she and Moe will get together. Will they, and if so, can Homer come up with a plan to fix everything?

    It was alright, if I remember, the ending was dumb, but I liked the rest. Aside from the ending it was a pretty funny episode even though the end was predictable (of course marge would not leave homer for moe). Still a great episode, it gets an A+ from memoreless

    After all these years, this show still cracks me up. Homer using jerkass. Showing homer on the radar in the red car driving towards the plane. Homer asking marge why she is opening a letter addressed to both of them. The great thing is while some shows would have ignored the fact that nobody has accounted for the kids, this one doesn't. Lisa and Bart in an air balloon with the baby. What else is there to say. People say this show has lost it's edge, maybe you'll find an episode here and there like that, but not this one.moreless

    A Moe Syslac storyline hadn't been done for a while and this plot was a good way to use him, finally coming clean to Marge about his feelings and, of course, getting shut down as Marge is Homer's partner only. Homer's suspicion is great as is Lenny and Carl's explanation of Moe and Marge's emotional affair. This isn't the best episode of the sixteenth season but it is a good one with plenty of funny scenes such as the pickled eggs killing the health inspector and Homer putting yet another mortgage on the home and lending it to moe. As most episodes, this is one fans won't want to miss.moreless

    Three words:

    1) THIS

    2) EP

    3) ROCKED!

    It was just so funny, especialy at the cinema! That 'CARDS' move was halirious! It was just so funny. It sounded so lame it sounded halirious. Good thing it isn't real though!

    Moe and Marge's bond was good. It was a nice episode, as it shows that Marge will never give up Homer for someone else. It had many exciting scenes like the log flume at Itchy and Scratchy Land. Or when Marge is doing the dance about turning Moe's Tavern into a british restaurant.

    This is one of my favourite episodes. If anyone rated it under 7 I'm surprised!moreless
