That is an interesting take (and luckily I haven't even heard of that one show so luckily I don't have any plot to really compare it with at the moment as I cannot recall a similar plot right now) but there is some good points with the issues (such as forgetting about the fact that previous Selman works have stated that Marge did go to college) It really is kind of fascinating how divisive this episode is, with mostly either 2/5s or 4/5s, but such things happen every now and then and it is, again, understandable since the script does have problems that, depending on how easily or not one can overlook most of the problems, can be an issue.
Also, I think that it is important to note that this is only Elisabeth Kiernan Averick's second episode written after 'Hail To The Teeth' (not counting the Loki short) and both of those (episode & short) weren't exactly great by a long shot (being riddled with problems) so I can forgive this one not being perfect IMO, also since it is better than what I had expected for a new writer who hasn't got a good track record. It will certainly be interesting to see how her next episode, 'A Made Maggie', will be like.
