If this is the case, then The Simpsons Road Rage has a great deal of respect for Sega's arcade and Dreamcast hit, Crazy Taxi. It's not the first game to borrow elements from other games and it won't be the last. Crazy Taxi with characters from the Simpsons? All trademarks acknowledged. Sep 13, 2013 In The Simpsons: Road Rage, you get to choose your own reward, be it unlocking one of the secret characters, such as Groundskeeper Willie and his tractor, or opening extra maps, such as the Springfield nuclear power plant. The real high point of The Simpsons: Road Rage, though, is the sound. All characters have their own voices from the show.
'Marge Simpson in: 'Screaming Yellow Honkers' ' is the fifteenth episode of The Simpsons'tenth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 21, 1999.[1] After Homer purchases a Canyonero sports utility vehicle, he discovers he bought the model intended for women, so he gives the vehicle to Marge. Despite disliking it at first, Marge grows fond of it, and quickly develops clear road rage against other motorists. The episode was written by David M. Stern and directed by Mark Kirkland.[2]
Plot[edit]
The Simpson family attempts to leave Springfield Elementary after watching a poor talent show by the school's teachers. As they sit at the parking lot due to Marge's timid driving, Homer sees Krusty driving a Canyonero and buys one for himself. However, Lenny and Carl tell him he bought the 'F-series', which is intended for women. Embarrassed, he gives the vehicle to Marge, who dislikes it at first due to its size and features, but soon grows fond of it and develops road rage. Later, Marge is given a traffic ticket by Chief Wiggum for cutting through a funeral procession and ordered to take a defensive driving course. While leaving the class, she accidentally drives the Canyonero into a prison, letting some inmates escape, and loses her license.
Later, Homer, Bart, and Lisa visit a zoo, where Homer sling-shoots a rock at a lemur, causing a chain reaction that makes the rhinoceroses go berserk and escape. The police ask Marge to use her Canyonero to stop the wild animals, but she declines until she sees her family in danger. She succeeds in rounding up the animals and saving the children, but one escapes with Homer on its horn. She chases the angry rhino into a construction site and deliberately crashes the vehicle, making it explode. The rhino attempts to stamp out the fire, allowing zookeepers to capture it and Homer to escape.
Production[edit]
The idea behind the episode came from a study performed that showed women had more cases of road rage than men.[3] The names of the other car salesmen on the board in the car garage are friends of Mike Scully from high school.[4] The road rage film which Chief Wiggum shows during the road rage class was originally titled 'Screaming Yellow Honkers'.[5] The road rage film was originally to have been presented by Troy McClure, but voice actor Phil Hartman died the previous year.[4] The group of people running out of the zoo, before Homer, Bart, and Lisa, are caricatures of Mike Scully, his wife, and his children, who are also seen running behind Kent Brockman's news report.[4] The Fox Broadcasting Company executives were displeased with the positive references to NBC made near the end of the episode.[4] As a compromise, the writers added in the sequence during the end credits where Homer reads a statement at gunpoint that disparages NBC and praises Fox (and briefly praises CBS, resulting in him being shot).[4]
In an attempt to stop the rhinos, Homer shouts 'Jumanji!', a reference to the film Jumanji.[4] Marge mentions Dateline NBC and former anchor Stone Phillips.[4] Ms. Krabappel does a balloon dance singing 'Fever', a 1958 hit for Peggy Lee.[2] The other teachers parody songs from Fame.[2] Singer Courtney Love is advertised on a box of Wheaties breakfast cereal.[2]
Reception[edit]
In its original broadcast, 'Marge Simpson in: 'Screaming Yellow Honkers' finished 43rd in ratings for the week of February 15–21, 1999, with a Nielsen rating of 8.7, equivalent to approximately 8.6 million viewing households. It was the third highest-rated show on the Fox network that week, following Ally McBeal and The X-Files.[6]
Peter Brown of If notes in his review of The Simpsons' tenth season that 'Marge Simpson in: 'Screaming Yellow Honkers', alongside 'Lard of the Dance', 'Wild Barts Can't Be Broken', and 'Homer Simpson in: 'Kidney Trouble', was 'some of the best episodes of the season'.[7]
The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, wrote in their review of the episode: 'very clever, very dry humour and showcasing the last person you might expect to suffer road rage. Some lovely moments (Marge losing patience with Agnes and Kearney is great), especially her drive across the cornfield. Sadly the Canyonero doesn't survive the experience of this episode, which would have been nice, if only to see Marge regularly at the wheel rather than Homer.'[2]

As we can read on Wikipedia, The Simpsons Hit & Run is an action-adventure game based on the animated sitcom The Simpsons. It was released for the GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2 on September 2003. The game’s developer, Radical Entertainment, received the rights to create games for The Simpsons franchise when they demonstrated a playable prototype. Radical released its first The Simpsons game in 2001 called The Simpsons Road Rage, a parody of the Crazy Taxi series of video games. After Road Rage was released, the development team for Hit & Run decided not to create a direct sequel to Road Rage. Instead, Radical wanted to steer the franchise’s video game series in a different direction by giving the game engine a complete overhaul.
In the game’s booklet, there are some beta images that shows the character mission mugs were in 3D too rather than animated. One has a display mode in options. In Tips & Tricks No. 105 in 2003, some character’s clothes were identified in the wrong episode. For example, Lisa’s “cool” outfit info says that it’s from the episode Little Girl In the Big Ten, but it’s actually from Summer of 4 ft. 2. Lisa didn’t wear that outfit in Little Girl In the Big Ten. Marge’s inmate outfit from Marge in Chains is originally periwinkle and short-sleeved, but the red-orange color may come from another episode. Facts say that Maggie is a playable character in the game, but for unknown reasons, she was replaced with Apu Nahasapeemapetilon in the final game.
