Already ruined since day one (or more specifically, 6 years BEFORE the episode was released!)

Warning: Spoilers
Marge's Son Poisoning was an episode of The Simpsons that was released 6 YEARS after the South Park episode Chinpokomon. I'm bringing this up because, in that episode of South Park, the "lesson learned" is that kids just generally find things to be uncool if the adults (and especially their parents) find that thing cool.

With that in mind, with this episode being about Bart and Marge, the plot of this episode became instantly predictable. This was evident later on in this episode, where Bart realises that he is becoming a "momma's boy" and so stops spending time with Marge. It was quite obvious that Bart was going to stop hanging out with Marge. This whole story was doomed from the start, the reasons being in the South Park episode Chinpokomon.

All in all, I see this episode as quite a waste of time and absolutely pointless. With a plot that was THIS predictable, what was the point of making this episode? Considering that there have been little to no episodes that focus on Bart and Marge since this episode's release, the conclusion I've been left with is that it's a storyline idea that just isn't going anywhere (and can't).
