About This Program ✦
Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious is an episode‑style programme that forms part of the broader Simpson series. The title itself hints at a whimsical tone, and the format is listed simply as a programme rather than a full‑length series, placing it squarely in the episode category. In this particular instalment, Marge receives a diagnosis of stress, prompting the family to look for external help. Their solution is to employ a nanny, whose appearance is almost identical to the iconic Mary Poppins. The decision to bring the caregiver into the household stems directly from Marge’s health concerns, and the visual similarity to the beloved magical governess is highlighted as a key feature of the new character. The presence of a Mary‑Poppins‑like nanny adds a distinctive flavour to the household dynamics. While the family’s primary aim is to alleviate Marge’s stress, the choice of a caregiver who mirrors such a well‑known figure suggests a blend of practicality and a touch of the fantastical. The episode therefore centres on the family’s response to Marge’s condition and the introduction of this strikingly familiar nanny, setting the stage for the ensuing domestic developments.
