I would have to agree, I would love it if Lisa stayed together with that boy.It's clearly trolling, but I never liked how the Simpson writers want to doom Lisa to marrying Milhouse. And it's strange because Lisa's essentially the writer's pet half the time (she's gotten better in recent years), why would they constantly give their favorite character something that negative? It really wasn't that funny to begin with, and they keep it around as a running gag. And I really didn't like how Lisa does have some perverse feelings about him that she tries to break up someone who Milhouse is actually happy with, even though out-universe it's clearly so they don't have to keep Kristian Schall as a cast member and that whole "Status Quo is God (except when it isn't but is)" thing.
I dunno why, but I'd rather have seen Lisa end up with the character from the movie. And he wasn't even celebrity voiced. It was series regular, Tress MacNeil. I agree with Yeardly Smith on that one. They should have kept them together.
OR... you know what pairing I always wanted to see? Martin and Lisa. They seemed to be rivals like, one time, and that was never brought up again. They really seem they could have hit it off together, but the writers never wanted to see that for some reason. Also, I did like the thread they had with Nelson that gets brought up every so often...
You know I was always a little brother by the pairing of Luanne Platter and "Lucky" on King of the Hill. Though I guess Luanne has never been paired with anyone too great.
