Commentary: Even amidst the bitterest week of the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.'s whole year, I want to be fair, even to fictional characters. Lurleen Lumpkins (D'Angelo) does try to seduce Homer Simpson (Castellaneta), to induce him to betray his wife, Marge. That is a wicked act, & to his credit Homer is never seriously tempted by Lurleen & remains faithful to Marge. Lurleen's act of seduction is wicked, but her affection for Homer appears to be genuine; later episodes show her in a series of doomed romances with men who physically resemble Homer.
"Your wife don't understand you,
But I do,
No, your wife don't understand you,
But I do,
I said, no one understands you,
But I do!"
