The ninth episode in the Simpson's first season is another good one, even though I feel like it lacks in depth and characterization compared to the last two episodes. I felt like it didn't have the best jokes either, but I felt the newly-formed romance by Marge and Homer's reaction to be quite intriguing.
This episode, "Life in the Fast Lane", is about Marge who contemplates an affair with a French bowling instructor after she feels neglected by Homer since he forgot her birthday and hastily gave her a bowling ball much to her dismay.
Overall, this is a decent episode that is worth watching. It's nice to see how Marge got her first episode being the center of attention. I liked the reference to Officer and a Gentleman. Also there are some funny moments such as when Lisa and Bart discuss the stages of marriage failure. Not a bad episode, but it's a little step down than the previous two. I rate this episode 8/10.
