Julie Kavner in The Simpsons (1989)

Review by magical571

The Blue and the Gray

The Simpsons

1/10

Very misoginistic episode, one of those with homer at his worst, on a season that so far was doing good in that regard.

Such an awful episode, you know what the punchline is from minute one, marge is old and has a gray hair, so funny.

Homer is beyond disgusted, athe show indulges in dehumanising marge for choosing to skip to colour her hair, going as far to mock her as a "witch" makeover, and making homer be repulsed by her just showing her face.

It isn't funny. You know were it's going from minute one, and since it isn't a funny punchline in the first place, you just want to skip it. Plus, it has an awful message with that ending, which speaks of the producers deplorable views on women.and it's also unfair to homer honestly; he has shown over and over again that he loves marge no matter what even if he is less than bright. But in this episode it's like: NO, you either dye your hair blue or i'll vomit each time i see you.

Great job guys.

Pretty misoginistic and unfuny, both.

The only funny lines were the kid's trying to find their hairlines and bart going to therapy. I wish they had spent more time in that story line; it's genuinly funny when they point it out, and it's more clever than just "isn0t it funny that nobody will remotely like marge just because she is a human and ages? Isn't it funny that she is forced to dye her hair for the rest of her life or risk the whole town plus her family vomiting at her sight?
