A Milhouse Divided

Millhouse's parents get divorced as Homer tries to make more of an effort with his marriage.

This is a good character episode, but the comedy is slightly lacking for me.

I think there are only so many times you can see Homer make a big effort to prove his love for Marge or the children. The idea of the divorce to get remarried is good, but the rest of his arc feels like ground covered previously.

The Van Houten scenes are the best for me, with some nicely made (and fairly dramatic) moments between Luann and Kirk. However, I mostly watch the Simpsons to laugh and whilst it does have some good relationship humour it is not one I would rush to rewatch.
