A new episode airs tonight at 8 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:

Fat Tony and Selma get married, prompting Marge to worry about her sister's safety.

[Doguineta]

I'm sure noone will bring up that 'Fit Tony' fiasco.

[WMania]

I'm sure noone will bring up that 'Fit Tony' fiasco.

Agreed.

"Fat Tony and Selma get married, prompting Marge to worry about her sister's safety."

This kinda reminds me when Selma married Sideshow Bob and Bart being really suspicious.

[Edward15]

Well, this episode should be very interesting. First Sideshow Bob, then Grandpa, now Fat Tony (or should I say Fit Tony, unless they're going that Principle Skinner route).

[trance2009]

Yeah, I can see how Tony and Selma get together, total personality mesh.


Homer eating that cake in the arcade cracked me up.

[Animationerd]

Spiderpig!!!:d

[NovelleX]

And yet again, another episode about Selma dating some random secondary character of the show. Who's next? The Sea Captain? Bumblebee Man? The revived spirit of Bleeding Gums Murphy?

[Edward15]

Spiderpig!!!:d

I thought it was Harry Plopper.

[trance2009]

Skinny Selma is basically Marge with much more off putting hair.

[Edward15]

Why do I get the feeling that in the 'truffle-hunting' subplot, Lisa is going to take advantage of Bart?

EDIT:

Whoa. I don't recall Marge ever getting into a fight with one of her sisters.

[Zen Man]

I wonder if they'll go all the way with the Selma/Fat Tony relationship and have it stick. Something different you know.

[Edward15]

Ironic. The one time Bart does a kind thing, it causes chaos. You know, these kind of shows seem to teach us that doing the right thing is always stupid.

I wonder if they'll go all the way with the Selma/Fat Tony relationship and have it stick. Something different you know.

Well, with the way Marge is against it, I wouldn't be surprised. Reminds me a bit of last week's episode of Family Guy where Lois disapproved of her sister's relationship with Mayor West.

Uh, never mind. Looks like things might go back to status quo. Figures that Selma wouldn't stay looking like Marge forever.

[trance2009]

Joisey Shore. Saw it coming. I did laugh at Tushie.

[Edward15]

Well, that's a twist. Turns out instead of cheating on Selma, Tony was cheating with her.

All in all, I thought that was one of the show's better episodes.

[simpspin]

I wish the entire subplot was dropped and the fourth act was about Selma getting back to her life at the DMV and with Pattie.

The main plot gets a "B". The subplot gets a "D". Overall, I'd give this a C, or 3/5.

[HEATXZ]

Great episode :anime:
My favorite parts are Homer eating cake and Spiderpig going crazy XD

For the record, Homer changed his name to Harry Plopper.

[Tobias]

I thought Plopper and Colin were supposed to become regular characters on the show after the movie. What ever happened to those plans? I could have swore it was said somewhere that those two would be part of the actual show.

[FFmax]

This episode was pretty good, I loved the way plopper/spiderpig was freaking out the end, but I was shocked how much Selma's appearance had changed for this episode, I barely recognized her!

[Peter Paltridge]

I don't think this show is gonna air on the West Coast. As soon as the show started, a special report hit that Bin Laden was dead. That was five minutes ago, but I doubt they'll be returning to program anytime soon.
