I’ll keep my remarks brief, but I’ve watched “Homer Alone” dozens of times and even now, I am finding new things to love about the episode. Case in point – look who’s hiding in the background of the other Nick’s Bowling Shop! It’s a portrait of Jacques, the smooth-talking frog bowler who unsuccessfully tried to seduce Marge in “Life in the Fast Lane.” Easter eggs are great.
I hope the modern day writers didn’t read that. They might deem it appropriate to bring Jacques back for a reunion episode with Marge. Hell, they brought Lurleen Lumpkin back (I refused to watch the episode, I assume it’s pitiful) so anything is possible.
