"A Streetcar Named Marge" is the second episode of The Simpsons' fourth season. The episode faced controversy from New Orleans, Louisiana due to a song in which it describes the city negatively (lyrics seen below). The writers apologized for this in the next episode, in which in the opening Bart repeatedly writes "I will not defame New Orleans" on the blackboard. This is the Last Episode to be Animated by Klasky-Csupo, Inc.

Synopsis

Marge is cast in the role of Blanche DuBois in Oh! Streetcar, the musical version of A Streetcar Named Desire directed by the flamboyant Llewellyn Sinclair at the Springfield Community Center. Homer isn't very supportive of Marge's interest in acting, so she uses her anger towards him for inspiration in some of the play's more emotional moments. Acting opposite Ned Flanders as Stanley Kowalski, Marge gets so absorbed in her role that at one point she attacks Ned with a broken bottle while practicing. Meanwhile, Maggie has been placed in day care at the Ayn Rand School for Tots and leads a rebellion against the strict caretaker, who confiscates all of the babies' pacifiers. Marge puts on a great performance and everyone applauds, except Homer, who is staring at the floor. After the play, Marge berates Homer for being bored, until he recites some aspects, showing he was saddened by the play's plot. Seeing that Homer was indeed moved by the play, Marge reconciles with Homer.
