Marge on the Lam14

“Thanks, Marge.  When my husband left, he took all our power tools, along with the car, my youth, my faith in mankind . . . well, see ya.” – Ruth Powers

    Ruth is the cutest lesbian character soul-wise I’ve ever known.

    I really hate how they wasted Ruth and her daughter (and the original writers do agree). All those times Marge lamented having no friends (or had friends who tried to screw her over, like Milhouse’s mom, Reverend Lovejoy’s wife, Maude Flanders, and Principal Skinner’s mom) and they didn’t include her?

      That was a single episode thing. Marge has been basically a housewife all the time prior to zombification. Her only friends were the kitchen appliances.
      Ruth, on the other hand, was that embodiment of wildness like some people well under 40 just want to throw everything away and drive nonstop into the sunset. That’s why Marge on the Lam worked so well. However, unlike Ruth, Marge is a homesick person, so that didn’t work out.
      As for the first “Bart falls in love” episode ever, it never was about Ruth. At least not the way I remembers it.

Even though it’s obvious to anyone with a functional frontal lobe and a shred of morality, we feel the need to include this disclaimer. This website (which openly advocates for the cancellation of a beloved television series) is in no way, shape or form affiliated with the FOX Network, the News Corporation, subsidiaries thereof, or any of Rupert Murdoch’s wives or children. “The Simpsons” is (unfortunately) the intellectual property of FOX. We and our crack team of one (1) lawyer believe that everything on this site falls under the definition of Fair Use and is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. No revenue is generated from this endeavor; we’re here because we love “The Simpsons”. And besides, you can’t like, own a potato, man, it’s one of Mother Earth’s creatures.
