Reviewer: Nancy Basile
Rating: 4 (5 = excellent, 1 = poor)
Favorite Part: Mr. Burns' human chess court.
Least Favorite Part: Homer imagining Bart and Marge as lovers, or whatever.
Comments: The plot allowed us to see more secondary characters than usual. It also gave Springfield a sense of community that we sometimes don't get in recent seasons. Though the blatant use of guest stars has sweeps written all over it, the tennis stars were funny and able to make fun of themselves. Homer had some wonderful lines, too, such as, "Take your hands off me. They feel like salad tongs." Overall, a very funny episode.
