    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to then-showrunner Mike Scully, the story of this episode originated from the fact that the staff members of The Simpsons wanted to do an episode about Marge but felt they did not want it to revolve around her getting a new job, as that had been seen on the show "too often".

      In recent airings of the Jack Crowley episode, the following change was made:
      • At the end where Chief Wiggum and Jack are talking, in the original airing of
      • the episode they discuss HBO shows like "Sex and the City", "Arli$$", etc.,
      • but now it just has Jack talking about tough guys in prison.

    Marge and the convict
    Marge helps a troubled convict artist in thankfully a better episode from S12.

    With a good guest voice turn from Michael Keaton while this episodes plot runs out of steam, it's good fun.
