'What's it called? Monorail! That's right! Monorail!'
The Big Picture It's hard to argue with the logic that The Simpsons is one of the best television shows of all time, and one of the longest running too. The Simpsons dominated culture in the 1990s and changed the landscape of comedy, animation, and television forever. While the series has continued to produce new episodes for over three decades, the early installments between Seasons 4 and 10 are largely considered by The Simpsons fans to be the show’s “golden age.
The early seasons of The Simpsons perfected a perfect formula for its episode structure. Typically, episodes have a four-act structure with both an “A” and “B” plot that are tangentially related. The “A” storyline generally revolves around a member of the Simpsons family, and in this case it’s Marge. “Marge vs. The Monorail” follows the formula to a perfect T, and features some of the most heartfelt, ridiculous, inventive, and satirical moments in the show’s history.
The episode was also one of the best to put Marge at the center. While generally most of the central characters were given equal screen time, it was interesting to see Marge take an interest in something that wasn’t directly related to Homer’s misfortune, greed, or irresponsibility. She’s taking on the entire community, fearful of becoming an outsider by speaking out.
