Now here’s a weird one. A look into the strange world of professional sports mascots! Not being a sports fan (except for hockey) I never enjoyed when I would be dragged off to watch one of Denver’s several mediocre teams lose on their home fields, but as a kid, […]
Politics everybody! This episode is kind of prescient with the wonderful world of Presidential debates firing up, and it really hit home a fact that the Simpsons taught me dearly. Politics suck. I feel like the only thing that the Simpsons taught me to be cynical about more […]
Oh man. Halloween episode! I love these so much. I mentioned in my intro post that the first episode of the Simpsons I ever watched was a Halloween one, and I’ve always had a deep affection for them. I feel like it’s going to be a little hard […]
Well, here we are already, the end of the first season. The first hurdle has been passed, 25 to go! Oh man, I didn’t think this through. Let’s dive on in folks! So the family is sitting at breakfast, listening to the radio, which is something the Simpsons […]
Dang. This is a heavy episode. I don’t remember it hitting so hard as a kid. I assume that would have something to do with the fact that I haven’t seen this episode since I’ve been married. Well, let’s talk about marital infidelity everyone! The episode starts with […]
Well, after two episodes that I found to be classic and foundational to the rest of the series, we take a slight dip, back to just a pretty good episode. Don’t get me wrong, I liked this episode, but it just didn’t hold up to the last two’s […]
Oh man you guys. This episode. While Moaning Lisa was probably the Simpsons first great episode from a storytelling and emotional level, I think this is it’s first great episode from a comedic point of view. Now, other episodes so far in the series have had some great […]
Here we go guys. The first truly great episode of the Simpsons. I feel like this is a super familiar story, but as a kid, I was not a fan of Lisa episodes. As a little boy, I wanted to just watch funny Bart of Homer episodes. The […]
Here’s an episode that I watched a lot as a kid. We start off with a great discussion between Homer and the kids where he teaches them the virtue of butt-kissing. There’s also some great sibling bickering. While I just grew up with a little brother, I don’t […]
Here we go, back to a good episode. Sorry “Homer’s Odyssey,” I’ll stop being mean to you now. This episode starts right off with a great joke, the kids arguing over who loves Homer more, with the loser of the argument loving Homer the most. It’s a great […]
