History YMMV / TheSimpsonsS17E20RegardingMargie

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Marge suffering amnesia and remembering her kids but not Homer is an interesting concept, and when trying to make her remember him fails, he settles on trying to make her fall in love with him all over again, something that should have been explored more. Unfortunately, it backfires horribly due to Marge being turned off by her forgotten husband's negative aspects.

* IdiotPlot: Marge suffered amnesia after her attempt to clean a very difficult stain from the kitchen floor, due to her mixing a bunch of cleaning products that produced noxious fumes without wearing a protective mask. The fumes knocked her out and she hit her head. This doesn't sound so bad on its own, but the reason Marge was so adamant on cleaning the whole house top to bottom was because she had people coming over...to clean her house for free (she'd won a prize), and she didn't want them thinking the house was a dump. The people who were supposed to come over to clean the house wouldn't have been bothered if the house was a dump, because it would have been ''their job'' to clean it, and if Marge ''had'' already cleaned the whole house top to bottom, it would have been a waste of time for both her and the cleaners.

Unfortunately, it backfires horribly due to Marge being turned off by her forgotten husband's negative aspects.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Marge. She was perfectly willing and able to toss away a marriage of many years just because she couldn't remember it and made absolutely no effort to try to recall it herself. She at least is constantly polite to Homer, but it comes across as CondescendingCompassion in light of the circumstances.
** Arguably, Homer falls into this range as well. While the circumstances of the plot makes him the sympathetic character as you wonder if Marge will remember him, considering how much trouble he's raised over the years, especially in their own relationship (even in the episode itself, it's implied Homer screwed over Luigi so badly, even in a song praising him he can't help but admit he's "the one man I truly hate"), you begin to wonder if Homer actually ''deserved'' Marge remembering him in the episode; if anyone else amnesiatic remembered all the bad stuff Homer caused, they would very likely run the hell away from him regardless of how they felt before.

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack: Marge loses her memory of ever being married to (and loving) Homer but she regains the memories of her children and '''everything else''' within five minutes of being declared an amnesiac, and Homer's constant attempts to make her remember have her, at least, politely telling him that she doesn't remembers him and please leave her alone (completely alone -- as in, "[[KickTheDog get out of the house we shared for many years]]" ''alone''). It's made very clear that she would have dumped him for good if the man she met, as much of an example of TheAce that he was, [[ChildHater wasn't completely turned off by the fact she had three children]] and Homer's attempt right then had her deciding to allow him to try one more time out of pity (and it didn't really work, only the random fact that he mentioned he liked beer being the "trigger" she needed saved the day).

If the show followed reality, Marge's inability to remember Homer and her cruelty towards him would've gotten her put in a mental hospital for life with their marriage terminated.
