Hey, let’s end the week with a good old-fashioned Lisa episode. We haven’t been getting those as often, and while it isn’t a Lisa episode that follows the classic “Homer is stupid, Lisa is judgmental, they decide the find common-ground” formula that works so well, it’s still a […]
Hey, you know what strikes me as weird? The show’s obsession with keeping us up to date on the high and lows of the life of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. I don’t really have anything against Apu, but he seems like a weird character to have become obsessed with. Well, […]
Hey, want to talk about self-published comics, Flash cartoons, internet start-ups, and rage issues? Well this episode somehow found a way to stick all of these together. Let’s go! The episode starts off with the children of Springfield Elementary being bored to tears by Kirk Van Houten’s […]
As the Simpsons have gone on there have been certain types of episodes that have kind of dropped off. It used to be that we would get a Mr. Burns episode several times a season. And a Grandpa episode. Hell, there were a couple years where we […]
Woo! 4/20! Weed! Woo! That’s right everyone, did you remember that there’s a crazy Simpsons episode all about pot? I sure didn’t! The episode starts off with Marge super excited about their dinner that night, making the family guess what’s special about it. And when she only […]
Hey, you know what’s weird? This week we had an episode with an Olympics gag, and an episode that takes place in Rio. That’s odd. The Olympics are over now (thank the gods) but it probably would have worked better if this week came out a while […]
You know, it’s kind of irritating me that all of these non-Treehouse of Horror episodes that ape the structure still get to have wrap-around plot, and yet the Treehouse of Horror episodes don’t. That seems weird to me. It’s a fun formula that makes for some good […]
Wow! Whose ready for a garbage-episode folks? And I’m not talking about Homer running for garbage commissioner again, I’m talking what’s possibly the worst episode I’ve tackled on this project yet. Buckle up folks! The episode starts off with Homer sitting on the couch, being excited for […]
I feel like we’re firmly in the era of the show that had episodes I only ever watched once or twice. I think these episodes weren’t really on rotation in the repeats that would air every weekday night, because my memory of the episodes this week are […]
Hey, you know what we haven’t had in a while? One of the kids falling in love. Let’s say it’s Bart’s turn. Go! The episode starts off oddly enough with Homer and the family having an insane car-chase where they’re getting followed by a helicopter owned by […]
