I used a chart of Simpsons characters by speaking time but she didn't even rank because of how long she has been gone but she is essential to the episodes people care about.
If we’re going by what Homer evolved into by the double digit seasons I actually prefer Maude Flanders
I think I'm the only person who actually enjoyed that episode, but that's partially because I thought the joke was that it was meant to be making fun of shows that make ridiculous out of nowhere revelations and then immediately return to the status quo. Whenever I'd read about someone complaining how it was a terrible episode, all I can think is "that's the joke".
