Somewhat telling how Marge was the only character they could come up with since, shucks, the only other recurring females are Lisa, Maggie, Ms Krabapple and the Bouvier sisters.

What's retarded is how they say they're going for the twenty something crowd. With a mother character?? Sure if you like such types but you'd think most guys would rather enjoy a younger babysitter type or something like that.

There's also Amy and Leela in Futurama but that show had the fraction of Simpsons' popularity so they were probably all "who? what?" when they had to make the critical choice.
