Agnes Skinner

Agnes Skinner, more commonly known as Mrs. Skinner, is a recurring character in The Simpsons, and the strict and bitter mother of Seymour Skinner. She is very harshly controlling of Seymour, and treats him like a mother would a small child, once grounding him because he did not say who was at the door after answering it.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She's extremely stern on her son Seymour (who just happens to be a principal), punishing him for making the simplest mistakes, and controlling his life.
 * 2) She often wishes Seymour didn't exist. What kind of a parent does that?
 * 3) In "The Principal and the Pauper" she shut off both of them, and tried to send her real son out of town for good. Yep, she's that mean.
 * 4) She hates Seymour's choice in women, especially Edna Krabappel.
 * 5) Because of her, Seymour went from being a strict school principal to a crying coward.
 * 6) Instead of looking like Seymour's mother, she is more like a jealous wife or girlfriend.
 * 7) On more than one occasion she shows that she is infamously infatuated with Seymour.
 * 8) She's not just mean to her son, she's also mean to others around her as well.
 * 9) She is a very hypocritical and cynical person with others (Mainly Seymour).
 * 10) She has a horrible voice in the same fashion like Sarah from "Ed, Edd n Eddy". What doesn't help is that Tress MacNeille provided Agnes's voice, who is known for her work on The Animaniacs, but here, she does a poor job doing this character.

Good Qualities

 * 1) She's more likable in "The Crepes of Wrath".
 * 2) She did got what she deserved in the "22 Short films in Springfield" segment Skinner and the Superintendent, where she was in the house that caught fire due to Seymour neglecting to turn off his oven after his roast burned up.
 * 3) Her character design, much like everyone else, is okay.
