MARG SIMPSON SERIES
After appearing on The Tracey Ullman Show for three seasons, the Simpson family received their own series on Fox, which debuted December 17, 1989. He named the character after his mother Margaret Groening. Groening had been called to pitch a series of shorts based on Life in Hell but instead decided to create a new set of characters. Marge was created and designed by cartoonist Matt Groening while he was waiting in the lobby of James L. Voiced by Julie Kavner, she first appeared on television in The Tracey Ullman Show short " Good Night" on April 19, 1987. Marjorie Jacqueline "Marge" Simpson ( née Bouvier) is a character in the American animated sitcom The Simpsons and part of the eponymous family. In first-season episodes " Life on the Fast Lane" and " Some Enchanted Evening", Marge is said to be 36 years old, but her age was later changed to 38, possibly because she and Homer attended their twentieth anniversary high school reunion in one episode.742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, United States Like most of the other Simpsons characters, Marge's age changes from time to time throughout the show's history. The gag was intended to be revealed in the final episode of the series, but was cancelled early on because of its irregularity. In The Simpsons Season Four DVD commentary, Matt Groening states that the original idea behind Marge's hair was to hide large rabbit ears. In " The Way We Weren't", her hair was blue before she met Homer and was dark at one time because of Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time. Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu in the episode " Marge in Chains". It was revealed by Homer in " Secrets of a Successful Marriage" that Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56 "She’s been gray as a mule since she was seventeen." It is shown in the episode " Fear of Flying" that Marge's blue hair goes back to when she was a small child, so this color choice may ave been intended to match her original color. Marge has admitted that her hair is not really blue but is, in fact, gray. In the Shary Bobbins episode, her hair is shown close to her knees, meaning that a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive. In some episodes Marge is shown being a fairly skilled photographer until she decided to choose Homer over photography.Īppearance Hair Īs a teen, Marge had her hair long to at waist length which she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom in the episode " The Way We Was". She is especially well known for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish.
In general, she is shown as a very good cook. She has entered different cooking challenges, although situations such as cruel and ruthless competitors and overheated ovens made her to lose and even break or destroy the other competitors too. She once started a pretzel business, which succeeded with the help of the Springfield Mafia. Her portrait of a drunk Homer sleeping on the couch won the competition. His response inspired her to enter an art contest. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. When she was a teenager she had a huge crush on Ringo Starr and painted a large number of portraits of him. She once says that she voted for Jimmy Carter ("twice" according to Lisa), supported the candidacy of their state's governor Mary Bailey, and also stated to have been really depressed when Lyndon Johnson died. Politically, Marge supports the Democratic Party. She can speak two languages fluently, one being English and the other in French. She also appears to have significant athletic ability in times of imminent danger. Marge is the only member of the family who normally tries to encourage the family to go to church. She also displays a surprisingly strong will. These are just some of the strange situations in which Marge has found herself. She is also known for her persistent nagging and groaning. She was once a police officer in Springfield, took treatment for road rage, was once sent to jail for shoplifting, became a gambling fanatic, showed alcoholism, was an unwilling participant in a cross-country police chase, took steroids, cheated on a cooking competition and developed amnesia. Despite having higher morals than most other characters, Marge has had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show’s history.
Marge’s image is normally that of a stereotypical sitcom mother who is sometimes seen as an inexperienced person and easy to be fooled.
