While not hated outright...
I don't think any less of Bill as a writer. But as a man making decisions? That's a bad one. If there's a problem, you fix it. You don't make it into some sort of hurdle to test the newbies. You just put it out there that Marge is and always will be the hardest character to write.
Marge raped Homer
But it wasn't Bill who made that decision, he was the newbie in Season 4 so he got to write the Marge episodes, it was Mike Reiss's initial idea.
Anyway, Bill hasn't worked on the show since 1997.
wow, this sounds terrible
The original concept of Ned was clearly that he was slightly nut noticeably superior to Homer in every way; he was slimmer, had more hair, apparently made more money because his material possessions were nicer, his wife was better-looking (it's Maude's cleavage that Homer oggles in that one early episode), his children were better-behaved, and, in the aspect that got bloated to crowd out all others, his religious faith was sincere where Homer's was a shallow grumbling obligation or habit.
Wow this show is way too long in the tooth. Felt like I just read an ancient text written by a historian. OP started this thread off with an idea that Bill practised a quarter of a century ago and it also turned out that this wasn't even his original idea. Actual historians are going to have to talk about The Simpsons like they do for Sazae-San.
