Love Is A Many Splintered Thing is a great Simpsons episode with a lot of laugh out loud scenes.I enjoyed Zooey Deschanel's voice role,returning once again as Cletus and Brandine's daughter Mary Spuckler,and I also really enjoyed the two brief cameo roles from Benedict Cumberbatch,I didn't realize he was in it but I saw his name in the credits and I was able to tell from that he was Alan Rickman.There are a lot of very funny bits in this episode,and I especially enjoyed the many Woody Allen references,the people I was watching this didn't get it,and I was just sitting there laughing while they made a confused face at me.People who enjoy Bart's relationship with Mary Spuckler will enjoy this episode.
Mary Spuckler returns to Springfield after her plans to become famous don't work out for her.She starts a relationship with Bart again,but he isn't very committed.
