The love note
snoozejonc20 December 2022
Lisa develops a crush on Nelson Muntz.

This is a strong episode with some memorable humour and character moments.

This is a solid arc for Lisa with some great use of side characters like Nelson and Millhouse. I like the recognisable dynamic between various types of school children. It was always bullies in my school that had the nice (and in many cases intelligent) girlfriends. Easily the standout moment is the gag involving Millhouse passing Lisa's note to Nelson, as it still makes me laugh out loud 20+ years later.

The subplot involving Homer is reasonably good but pretty much a one-joke affair. Chief Wiggum's use of his sidearm is great.

The Big Crush
Hitchcoc27 July 2022
Lisa fall for a while with bad boy Nelson whom she tries to fix. We find out that he has a gentle side, but peer pressure and poverty subvert that. There isn't so much humor here. It is actually a rather insightful view of childhood romance.
