Has anyone else noticed the crazy disproportion of male to female characters? And of the 6 female characters, Marge and Lisa are the only ones who make noises. It isn't sexist or anything, just boring! Life is better with ladies!  I vote they add those creepy purple-haired twins from Bart's class, the creepy purple-haired twins from Marge's family, and/or Ruth Powers. Though to be honest, it seems the show itself has a relatively small number of recurring female characters... EDIT: A quick search tells me I'm not the only one who's noticed. lol Does anybody have any other suggestions?? If Hank Scorpio is included in the game due to his awesomeness, I'm sure they can find some equally-great single-appearance females! |

duelcitizen, what is it exactly that you would like to see more of in the game, women, or creepy women?

:point: That would be awesome! She could throw cats for 4 hours, scream gibberish for 8, and then hoard more cats for 24. |

Patty & Selma, Ms. Hoover, Sherri & Terri, Crazy Cat Lady, Lisa's friend Janey, Helen Lovejoy, Luann Van Houten, maybe even people like Ruth Powers and Lindsey Naegle? I'd take any new females |

BatusiMan and Serena: Good call on Helen Lovejoy!! They could easily find things for her to do.

Pardon my ignorance but who is this Lindsay character? The name isn't ringing a bell with me and it's driving me nuts. Is she from a newer season?

I'm sure we will see lots more ladies in Springfield, but the talking part seems less likely. Hate to burst the bubble, but all of our talkers are still voices from the main cast: Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, and Yeardly Smith. The only female Simpson characters voiced by the ladies here are: Marge, Patty, Selma, and Jaqueline Bouvier, and of course Lisa. So I guess we could look forward to some more talking Bouviers one day.... Wait, is Kodos a woman? |

I just can't believe we don't have Patty and Selma yet. They are in the first tier of main characters after the Simpson so to be so far along without them is really dumb.

+1 to Crazy Cat Lady, and + 1000 to duelcitizen's suggested game tasks for her! I would also like for the creepy purple-haired twins to be added (thank you, Simpsons Wiki, for reminding me that they're named Sherri and Terri), but who I really, really, want ( after Crazy Cat Lady, who is desperately overdue in Springfield) are Patti and Selma. I'd love to see them have a task where they harangue Homer all over town. Weren't there rumors that a Maude Flanders ghost might appear? That might be fun. And I suspect that more than 1 person would be happy to see Lurleen Lumpkin make an appearance in Springfield. What about Nikki McKenna? She could have outdoor skateboarding and reading tasks, and could go to school and the Hibbert Practice like the other kids and most of the adults. And it would be nice to have another school-aged girl in the game, so poor little Lisa doesn't have to feel so lonely. HAHAHAHA Oh man, I'm just imagining that Patty-and-Selma-haranguing-Homer job. I don't care how long it takes, I would have them do that ALWAYS. A Maude ghost and Lurleen would be amazing too!! But I'm with you, I think we need the twins (all the twins) and Crazy Cat Lady. She's actually greater than I realized, so I really want her to be a character soon. C'mon!! We've got Hans Moleman! |

I want Lindsay Naegle so much shes my favorite character! They need to add her, as well as more women, now! They are giving us way too many male characters all at once...maybe cause they are trying to get the rights to use the other voice actors? Most of the women are voiced by other voice actors who arent the six main voice actors from the show.

I think Laura Powers would be good. Bart could have tasks and then jimbo could be added and have tasks like his shirt and pants chafing

Don't forget another C-List Celebrity, Booberella. Then there's Belle, owner of La Maison Derriere. There's the Rich Lady (who kept fainting in the episode where Homer was Burns' prank monkey). Manjula, Homer's stalker from when he was an opera singer (there's your evil villain), Marge's old classmate who became a big reporter (her name escapes me, she used to be Barney's girlfriend). There's a lot of good characters they can add if they want, but the most noticable absentees right now are Patty, Selma, Eddie and Lou (hey, we're overrun by criminals, where are the police?).

You could even add in Homer's mother as a Sideshow Bob-esque (every x many hours)
I can't see Ruth being added she's only been in what 1? 2? episodes
Patty/Selma, Manjula(even tho 2-3 epi?), Helen Lovejoy, Sherri/Terri, Cookie, Crazy Cat Lady, Mrs Hoover, Marges Mother?.
The thing I've noticed with female characters in the Simpsons they are usually "guest appearances" who come once in a blue moon

Yeah, The Simpsons definitely has some female characters cool enough to be in the game! drilette beat me to my #1 suggestion. Homer's mother is every bit cool enough to be a permanent character. I don't have anybody to add ... I'd like to see Homer's mother, Crazy Cat Lady, Maggie with her own set of tasks, Lurleen, and Patty and Selma. edit: Oh! Ghost Maude was a great suggestion too. |

I'd like the Crazy Cat Lady to have a "study law" task where she sits in front of the library or on a bench in normal clothes with just one cat. I forget her real name - it was in the episode that parodied the "7/14/21/28, etc Up" films. |
