Season 35, Episode 14
9/10
Felt Like the Golden Age
9 April 2024
Night of the Living Wage is an amazing Season 35 Simpsons episode. With the last 3 episodes being a bit disappointing, I was pleasantly surprised that this one was really good. First off, this episode was really really funny. It had some amazing jokes that really just reminded me of the sharp writing of the Golden Age of the show. This episode just had this great jokes that really blew me away with how intelligent and hilarious they were. Unlike all the other Marge episodes, this is a more light hearted episode instead of an episode that really expands Marge's character. I like when the Simpsons expands on there characters, mostly when that character is slightly more into the background than others, but it's fun to watch a hilariously funny Simpsons episode, even if it doesn't expand anyone's character. Well, I guess it expanded Marge's character, but it felt a little too lighthearted to really expand her character. I felt like Marge felt very connected to the Union, and the Union felt very connected to her, and that's what I like about them. They just make the episode better, because throughout the episode I know that the union will always be on her back, no matter what, and that just gives me a sense of comfort. You could see that the union cares about her and will make sure she is part of it. I like how instead of just backing down, everyworker in this episode just stood up to the Yipee Chow company, whatever it's called, and made sure they were treated equally. That's what I like about all unions and protects. That those people aren't afraid to back down. Also, I loved the ending. I think it expanded on Homer's and Marge character just a little bit. It might have not expanded on Homer's character, but who knows? Homer officialy stopped strangling Bart ( Thank Goodness 😙😙) this season so maybe his character can evolve to become an even better father and a person. Anyway, since this episode was so good, I'm really excited for the next episode, the Cremains of the Day, on April 21st. I'll make sure I write a review for it shortly after the episode is aired and I've watched it, so if you want to you can check that out in a couple weeks. In all though, I give this episode a 8.5 out of 10.
