For tonight Zombie Simpsons seems to have completely forgotten that it’s nominally a comedy program, instead it decided to be a mystery show. Unfortunately it wasn’t even a good mystery show, with lazy “revelations” coming up like clockwork before each commercial break. Despite the excess of plot twists there was more stalling and exposition than usual.
Take, for example, Lisa’s trip to the attic at the beginning. She got stuck with the attic door, Bart then took up a lot of time helping her. Nothing funny was going on, but it did eat some clock. Once she made it too the attic they took up more time by having her walk very slowly past stuff from old episodes. The whole episode was like that, just phenomenally boring.
Here’s hoping for a terrible ratings number.

One response to “There’s No Mystery, Zombie Simpsons Sucks”
I looked at the screengrabs and read the plot on Wikipedia, and for some reason it made me feel uneasy. Of course, I’ve been feeling a bit odd all day, and maybe I just need a lie down. But I doubt it’d do me any good to watch it – it didn’t do me any good the last time I read a summary and thought “well, that sounds depressing…but maybe I’ll watch it anyway, for the sake of completeness.” It turned out “Eeny Teeny Maya Moe” was even more depressing than the Wikipedia summary could have prepared me for.
