Oh man, secret long-long siblings. The Simpsons became a soap-opera so slowly we didn’t even notice. Let’s get right in. We start off with more McBain goodness. I would love to watch a whole McBain movie, and not that cobbled together one I mentioned last time. It’s so […]
Ah, the uncomfortable horror of setting family members up! This was a pretty sad episode actually. I’ve noticed the trend in this show that if the episode is about a certain character, everyone else acts very different. Every episode up until now has had Patty and Selma be […]
Well, here’s another heavy morality episode. As cynical as the Simpsons seems to be towards religion, they really like to look at the morals of Christianity. And this is a great example of one of those stories. We start off in Biblical times, where some ancestor of Homer […]
Flashback episode everybody! I absolutely love the flashback episodes that show Homer and Marge’s relationship in the past, how it’s grown and matured. And the episodes that show the kids when they were younger. It’s the kind of thing that a live-action sitcoms just can’t do. Yeah, they […]
This is a weird episode guys. It’s a pretty emotional episode, and talks about a really heavy topic, all while keeping the classic Simpsons charm. It’s episodes like this that remind me why I love this show so much. It tackles a serious topic, like what you would […]
Here’s an episode that’s really emblematic of why I love the Simpsons. It’s an episode about Bart getting hit by a car, and it’s wacky as hell. What an insane concept. It’s a crazy legal episode that introduces two amazing characters, and really sets the tone for the […]
Alright everybody, let’s talk about censorship! I really forgot how critical this episode can be, and it really brings up something that pisses me off. People trying to destroy something instead of just parenting their children. Let’s get into it. We start off with a classic first-act misdirect […]
Well, after the emotionality of “Bart vs. Thanksgiving,” let’s get to a wacky episode! This is such a weird episode, and clearly is one the creators love since it show up in pretty much every clip show that I can remember. Let’s get right into the weirdness. The […]
When I was a kid, I considered this episode to be one of the best there was. For some reason I was able to wrap my head around the emotionality of this episode better than other, objectively better episodes like “Moaning Lisa,” and used this as the example […]
Let’s get ready for mini-golf everyone! This was a fun episode guys. Not only do we get out first story about the kids playing sports (and the pressure Homer puts on them) but we also get our first real look at the Flanders family, and how he and […]
