>While not hated outright, writer Bill Oakley once noted Marge was the most difficult character of the Simpson family to write episodes for, to the point they were often relegated to new writers as a test of their story-writing skills.

She's a loving, boring wife and mother. Much like Rite from The Loud House there isn't much you can do with her that doesn't involve her getting into ridiculous situations.

She's the most normal person in the show. The only personality defects she has are naivety and a bit of stuffiness. Not much you can do with that.

The key to her character is those little moments and quirks that remind the audience she's not as normal as she thinks she is, but it's hard to write an entire episode around that.

Is it odd how Ned Flanders wife has been dead for like 10 years?

Why is Ned bad aside from being religious?
If you ignore he's religious, he just seems like a nice guy?
Isn't hating ned, kind of like hating the Dalai Lama?
Or is that part of the joke? That if you hate him, you hate everything thats not bad?

Homer is only good for being dumb and getting hurt, does he need to be married for that?
Couldn't he be divorced and still have that?

I wish the show could end, they already had a couple show finale episodes.
Fox just forces it to go on.

Simpsons season 50 in future soon.

The problem with Marge isn't that she's difficult to write.The problem is that Bill Oakley keeps giving her episodes to new writers who inevitably end up taking this a challenge to write a good episode despite her character.
It's a wonder how The Simpsons was ever good in the first place with that kind of decision making.

I don't think any less of Bill as a writer. But as a man making decisions? That's a bad one. If there's a problem, you fix it. You don't make it into some sort of hurdle to test the newbies. You just put it out there that Marge is and always will be the hardest character to write.

But it wasn't Bill who made that decision, he was the newbie in Season 4 so he got to write the Marge episodes, it was Mike Reiss's initial idea.
Anyway, Bill hasn't worked on the show since 1997.

The original concept of Ned was clearly that he was slightly nut noticeably superior to Homer in every way; he was slimmer, had more hair, apparently made more money because his material possessions were nicer, his wife was better-looking (it's Maude's cleavage that Homer oggles in that one early episode), his children were better-behaved, and, in the aspect that got bloated to crowd out all others, his religious faith was sincere where Homer's was a shallow grumbling obligation or habit.

Wow this show is way too long in the tooth. Felt like I just read an ancient text written by a historian. OP started this thread off with an idea that Bill practised a quarter of a century ago and it also turned out that this wasn't even his original idea. Actual historians are going to have to talk about The Simpsons like they do for Sazae-San.

That was the cherry on top; he was cheerful and friendly; he clearly had no notion that he was better than Homer in every way. The most antagonistic he ever was was when he agreed for Bart and Todd to compete in mini-golf, and Homer had to extensively goad him into it, plus he had second-thoughts about using their sons in such a manner.

This is the root origin of the "women aren't funny" meme. It's not because women lack the capacity for humor. It's that, for whatever reason, most American women are incapable of laughing at themselves. This is essential in comedy. When all else fails, a comedian needs to be able to make fun of himself. Comedians have to be self-deprecating, because mocking your own flaws is an easy but effective way of generating jokes. Jim Gaffigan's made an entire career out of it. But the overwhelming majority of women can't mock themselves, for whatever reason.

Marge's best moments are the ones where she perfectly captures the clueless housewife and mother and is completely lovable for it. She has the role of being the heart of the family and that means she's the straight man for the most part. That's why her episodes with Bart are the best. Because Bart likes to get on everyone's bad side but Marge is the last person he wants to disappoint.

This, Flanders was originally just a really good guy that Homer hated because it made his own shortcomings much more obvious. The only reason Flanders is a religious nut now is because of society's changing views on Christianity. Back in the early 90s being a good Christian was basically a prerequisite for being a good person, while nowadays in popular media Christians are largely viewed as backwards nutjobs.

She is the "Voice of Reason" in the family but as the show made Homer dumber and more impulsive she seems more and more "boring and normal".

She has her defects but much of the show is focused on Homer or Barts antics and sometimes Lisa.

Do you even remember the early 90s at all? Back then televangelists were one of the biggest targets of late night comedians.

Only in America and some of the more retarded countries in the EU, like Spain and Greece.

In those days the Christian lobby was very powerful much more than it is now. Billy Graham even got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Marge is hard to write in a funny or compelling way and that's why the writers eventually went fuck it and started putting her in wacky situations like Large Marge and It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad Marge.

See that's a more defensible position than "Women aren't funny" but they're both pretty thoroughly falsified by the career of Lucille Ball.

Wrong. It's that male writers, who dominate the industry, think that a female character has a 100% different way of thinking so they feel as though they are outside their comfort zone writing for them. As a result, they write them as safe and bland because they literally don't know what else to do.

When the Always Sunny gang wrote Dee into the pilot, they weren't sure how to write for a female character until Dee's actress just said, "Write her like you would any other character in the story". This is a common mentality where male writers think female characters are entirely different beings and not just another character in the story.

It doesn't help when you have bitch-made-ass voice actors who think the character should be some special snowflake who is always correct and perfect.

Most of the time they are pretty funny. "Round Springfield" is probably the best Golden Age Lisa episode because its funny as hell (Gif related) while also being pretty poignant and emotional.
>>114117404
She should really just call Al Jean's bluff and do a script herself like Shearer and Cartwright did.
>>114113579
Marge Be Not Proud is pretty much a Marge episode as much as a Bart episode and it's probably the best one.

The same thing happened on Seinfeld, after their series got greenlit and they made the first few episodes the network told Jerry and Larry David that they needed to add a woman to the main cast and at first they wanted to write her as a "smart woman" straight man/foil type of character, it was only after Julia Louis Dreyfus was cast did she approach them and ask why she couldn't be a dumb jokester like the other three.

True but there are those rare gems like Lucille Ball, I still smile watching her skits and her making a fool out of herself while Ricky had to deal with her shit. I wouldn't mind more of that.
