My Review: I hate it when good Simpsons episodes fall between the cracks and fans forget them. "Brush With Greatness" gets almost no discussion on alt.tv.simpsons, save for the "I'll always be hungry again!" line. Too bad, 'cause it takes a good look at Homer's weight problem (which would otherwise be a running gag), and the Marge plot has her convincingly finding a hobby, compared with episodes like "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson" in which she does something unlikely just to service a stupid plot. It's hard to write a good Marge episode, and the great Season 2 staff could do it well. (4/5)
