IMHO the Simpsons writers missed a good opportunity for a cute throwaway joke (and pop culture reference) when they didn't give Wolfcastle a wife who was a TV news personality and/or had ties to the Quimby family.

They did. In "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", Bart approaches Wolfcastle at Quimby's party, and he has a wife who resembles Maria Shriver.

"Maria, if anyone wants me, I'll be in the Humvee."

Dr Music P.S. Parking was ample.

I believe they did do this, but she's just not a regular on the show. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

Yes. Between the earlier episode with Maria at the Quimby compound and the newest episode, Wolfcastle must have gotten divorced.

Everything you say is true except for the fact that they didn't miss that opportunity.

They did that, when Bart skipped school and hid at the Quimby compound. Bart and Chief Wiggum gave Wolfcastle's latest McBain movie (the *Last Action Hero* of the *Simpsons* universe) a bad review and Wolfcastle said, "Maria--my mighty heart is breaking. I'll be in the hummer."

Maria is presumably the mother who got custody of Greta at 1800 hours.
