The essential contention of Zombie Simpsons supporters is that even if the show has fallen off it’s still pretty good and well worth watching. We of the Dead Homer Society disagree. That is no secret. But you know who else doesn’t find much merit in that argument? FoxBroadcasting. The YouTube video below, showing clips of Grandpa talking about history, was put up by FOX itself. Watch carefully. Notice anything? Every single one of those Grandpa clips is from Season 9 or earlier. There isn’t a single bit from after 1997. Someone at FOX doesn’t think much of Zombie Simpsons either.

Midpoint
We had a minor Dead Homer Society conclave this evening and I noticed something peculiar while we were watching “The Front”. Homer and Marge attend their 20th high school reunion in 1994. The episode ends with a flash forward to them at their 50th reunion in 2024. 2009 is the midpoint between 1994 and 2024; it’s been fifteen years since then and it’ll be fifteen more until we get there. There’s nothing at all profound or interesting about that, I just thought it deserved mentioning.
