This is amazing. Stories about the monorail episode, Michael Jackson, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, etc.

Matt Groening's first season idea on how to end the show is pretty awesome
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 18 April 2013 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
It's the Bart would find out that Homer is actually Krusty the Clown and that Marge would take off her blue hair helmet to reveal that she's really a giant rabbit.

I watched through a bunch of the Treehouse of Horrors the other night, which were often the highlights of the seasons. Eventually i got to an episode where Bart and Lisa end up on the Regis & Kathy Lee Show, and then in the next skit everyone ends up on the Jerry Springer Show. Both segments were not very funny, and sort of nailed this bizarre cartoon down in the real world. I think if JSS had been featured on an earlier show it would have been a quick cutaway gag that satirized dumb TV, rather than something that was entirely willing to sell itself out to the lowest common denominator.

i just rewatched seasons 9, 10, and 11. 9 and 10 are actually both much much better than i remembered, with a couple of all-time classics in each. homer buying a gun, homer adopting a lobster, homer and lisa bonding at the museum -- all terrific stuff.
but 11 is borderline unwatchable, just episode after episode with lame jokes, aimless stories, and stupid pop-culture references that somehow seem way more dated and embarrassing than anything in the early seasons. the one where maude flanders dies, which i'd somehow missed seeing until now, is almost appallingly callous and stupid. hard to believe it's the same show that made a genuine tear-jerker out of homer eating the poisoned blowfish.

You might agree with this guy: http://deadhomersociety.com/zombiesimpsons/

I also agree with that guy, mostly.
I wasn't sure if there was a thread for this already but Simpsons marathon starts today :D

Jon Vitti has been livetweeting this
Penny Wise @jon_vitti · 12hThe note is supposed to say “You are Lisa Simpson!” With an exclamation point. I didn’t catch it at animatic. It haunts me to this day.
― Number None, Friday, 22 August 2014 18:09 (nine years ago) link
Penny Wise @jon_vitti · 24hI spent about ten seconds thinking about who Lenny and Carl should be. If you’d told me they’d be on TV for 25 years I would have been ill.
― Number None, Friday, 22 August 2014 18:10 (nine years ago) link
these are stretched to 16:9, right? even on the SD version of the channel that seemed like what was going on, unless i am dumb and have some stupid setting on. why would you do that.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 22 August 2014 18:14 (nine years ago) link
i mean i hope they're stretched.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 22 August 2014 18:15 (nine years ago) link
sadly, yes
― Number None, Friday, 22 August 2014 18:16 (nine years ago) link
I hope somebody gets fired for that blunder.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 22 August 2014 18:19 (nine years ago) link
i get/share people's desire to fill their telescreens but i was surprised they also did it to the sd versions. anyway i happened to turn it on last night just as "lisa's substitute" was starting so obviously i am blessed enough not to complain.

What is this thing you guys are talking about, are they broadcasting every episode in order or sth

FXX is running a marathon.
The extra X is for BYOXX. (What's that extra X for?) That's a typo.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 23 August 2014 15:39 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I was just curious as to the nature of this marathon. cause over here back in the day it was a "Simpsons marathon" like every day on the cable channels. But I guess in order is more of a "thing" in an Alan Partridge bank holiday/~binge watching~ sensev
― a spectrum is taunting ur OP (wins), Saturday, 23 August 2014 16:04 (nine years ago) link
It's probably more exciting to see a network playing actual good Simpsons episodes in bulk for once. AKA single digit seasons.
― Evan, Saturday, 23 August 2014 16:12 (nine years ago) link
What I don't get here is the marathon-specific excitement. I mean, Simpsons is awesome, that's cool. But as the marathon is virtually unwatchable as a marathon - what, 8 1/2 days, with no commercials? - all this does is scatter your fave episodes across a ridiculously wide time span. Basically, for a while we have a Simpsons channel, or at least those with FXX have that. And that's cool, too. But there are going to be some choice eps at 2am, and some dross at prime time. And at some point it's going to be all crap, all the time (relatively speaking).
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 23 August 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
That's all true, to an extent, but once you hit season 3 eps, it's all killer/no filler for a solid five seasons. I don't think anyone's all-time faves happen before season 2 or after season 9.
That said, yeah, most of us probably already have those seasons on DVD anyway.
