GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Marge Gets a Job/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Well done.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Plot and Cultural references, "Tom Jones" is linked twice, it would be best if it were linked once, per here. In the Production section, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" needs to be italicized, since its a show.
