I think about this and its whoops-it-happened counterpart and sometimes wonder if Marge ever became a robot.

upon further research apparently frank grimes jr. did not die. but it was still a thing they seriously did
yeah, they brought frank grimes jr. as a mysterious person who was trying to kill homer, and they hired sideshow bob to find out his identity. during the big reveal, he said "my dad like hookers." fuckin cringey bullshit

"the principal and the pauper" wasn't bad on its own, but combined with other lowlights of Season 9, it signaled the true beginning of the end of The Simpsons. the episode where the kids were abandoned on the island, the episode where they turned Ralph Wiggum from a lovable idiot to a special ed kid with rear end in a top hat habits, and "Realty Bites" were pretty bad too. one episode doesn't tell the tale of when The Simpsons took a turn for the worse

The messed up thing about that episode is that as soon as the kids get to the island it's not a parody or a satire or a "send-up" of Lord of the Flies, it's just straight-up Lord of the Flies, which has no comedy potential to begin with. Zero. I can't imagine how confusing this episode is for people who haven't read it, not that it makes any sense if you have. It's some boring weird poo poo to take up more than half a cartoon show with.

I don't see why Marge v. Monorail is constantly ranked as the best Simpsons episode. Sure, it's good, but I don't think it's the best.
I'd give that honor to Last Exit to Springfield.
But, good for Conan for only writing 3 episodes and having one of them be the consistently-ranked best.

Due to this thread I talked to some friends who still watch it out of habit and asked them how many times Homer has been raped and they could only remember two episodes, but in having to think back and remember/debate that they seemed to actually consider what they've been passively watching all these years.



I think Mr. Plow is the best episode and I'm going to watch it right now to forget all this.

They didn't have remotely the same plot. The Frank Grimes Jr. One was a mystery.

Also the original had, like, funny jokes, whereas the Frank Grimes Jr one they forgot to put those in. Hopefully someone got fired for that blunder.

the icing on the cake is when the narrator wraps it up by just saying that moe saved the kids. no explanation, no how he did it, he just picked a random name and said that was it

honestly that episode might have been worse than The Principal and the Pauper, but that one just had the unfortunate timing of being released first

Didn't it turn out the EPA regulations were part of an elaborate scheme for a reality show with Carmen Electra, so it wasn't really an EPA agent?

I thought the episode was ho-hum overall, but I got a laugh out of this resemblance:




I hope it wasn't coincidental.

Dear Lord did this show go off the rails.

quote:

Bart flees to North Haverbrook, where he meets a 15-year-old girl named Darcy, who believes Bart is much older. They begin a romantic relationship and Darcy soon proposes marriage. At the court house, Bart reveals his age, whereupon Darcy reveals that she is pregnant, much to Bart's depression. Darcy admits that Bart is not the father - the real father is a Norwegian exchange student, and she wants to get married because her parents would be upset with her unwed pregnancy. Bart agrees to marry Darcy, and they drive to Utah, where marriage restrictions are looser. Eventually, Homer, Marge and Darcy's parents catch up with them to stop the wedding, where Darcy's father reasons with Bart as he believes that Bart took advantage of a girl much older than him and got her pregnant. Darcy confesses to her parents that Bart is not the father. Darcy's mother is pregnant too, and the family agrees to pass the two babies off as twins. Darcy and Bart end their relationship, while Bart assures her they will meet again, to which she agrees. Later, Bart admits to Homer that he looked forward to being a father.

i read that entire "Zombie Simpsons" book-like thing and the part about how the only things that will take them off the air are unprofitability or a voice actor's death got me thinking: the only death of a recurring voice since Phil Hartman was the woman who voiced Mrs. Krabappel. about 18 years passed between deaths. iirc she wasn't a regular either

i guess the secret to their seeming immortality is Scientology. i know that Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson) is in, but who else of the six actors are part of that racket?
