 *Though in the episode it was revealed that Marge had been gray for years without her knowing, the error in continuity lies in the knowledge: according to "[[Helter Shelter]]" and "[[Secrets of a Successful Marriage]]" (when Homer told his Learning Annex class that Marge has been gray as a mule since she was 17), Homer and Marge had both already known of Marge's "hair troubles". The 1991 book "[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album]]" also includes what is apparently Marge's first gray hair.
