Four Great Women and a Manicure is an okay episode. This is an anthology episode, so I will be writing a mini review for all four segments. Yes, I said four. Most anthology Simpsons episodes have three segments, but this episode has four. And other four segment anthology episodes have come out after that. I'm talking to you The Fight Before Christmas. Anyway because of this all of the oter segments felt rushed just to make way for the fourth one. For me The Wettest Stories Ever Told marked when these anthology episode started to decline. Now, I'll start the review!!
Segment #1 Queen Elizabeth. First off all, this segment depicted Queen Elizabeth as a snooby rich idiot. I don't know why Marge was saying how good of a person she was when in fact her story depicts her as a bad person. Besides that the segment is a little boring and isn't that funny. Also the segmentfelt very rushed. If it was a little less rushed it would be a bit more, let's say meaningful. I give this segment a 4.9 out of 10.
Segment #2, Snow White. This was probably my favorite segment. It had clever fairy tale references and I personally think it is very funny. Snow White felt very spoiled though. Well, at least they didn't say that she was a good person when Lisa was telling the story. Also the story felt very rushed. It could have benefited from some more run time. I give this segment a 7.7 out of 10.
Segment #3, Macbeth. This is my second favorite segment. Well, it's also my second least favorite segment. Marge said that Macbeth was a great women held back by bad husband. Well, Macbeth is always pushing Macbeth to kill other cast members. Besides that, this segment is a pretty funny segment. Although it's the most non rushed segment, this segment still felt that it needed more time. Maybe instead of 5 minutes 8 minutes? That's around the same time as a Treehouse of Horror segment runs. I give this segment a 7.1 out of 10.
Segment #4, Maggie Simpson. This segment isn't based off of Maggie Simpson, but this segment is about Maggie Simpson. To me this segment is just mean spirited. That daycare center guy just acted like it was a crime to be smart. Seriously!! I can't tell if this is Family Guy or the Simpsons. I give this segment a 4.9 out of 10.
This anthology episode was funny, but it was also mean spirited too. This also felt a little rushed. In all, I give this a 6.5 out of 10.
