    I can’t watch modern Simpsons. I’m sure there are really good episodes out there, but I just can’t listen to Marge’s voice anymore.

      Did she get a new voice actor in the original at some point?

      Because for us who watch the German dub, this happened in or around 2007, between “We’re on the Road to D’ohwhere” and “My Fair Laddy”. That was the time I seriously became aware of which episodes were (then) new, because Marge’s voice was different only in the new ones. :D

        Nah, the actress just sounds like she’s about to die every time she speaks because she’s been doing that voice for 40 years and she’s in her 70s now.

        No new US voice actor, the show has just been on for 37+ years so the actresses voice has changed.

        It is noticeable in the more recent seasons, although I think in the last few episodes either she’s figured out a way to make her voice sound better or they’ve figured out how to tweak it.
