Now, you get your man up to speed or we’ll be forced to take legal action.” – Nuclear Inspector “Is that so? Well, I have the feeling you’ll be ‘dropping’ the charges. . . . Oh.” – C.M. Burns “The painters moved your desk, sir.” – Mr. Smithers “Ah, yes.” – C.M. Burns

Behind Us Forever: Springfield Splendor
“She doesn’t look sad. I don’t see any tears in her eyes.” – Homer Simpson “It’s not that kind of sad. I’m sorry, Dad, but you wouldn’t understand.” – Lisa After last week’s little experiment, it’s back to regular Zombie Simpsons this week, including plots that don’t make sense, two clock eating montages, several unnecessarily self-voiced celebrities, the standard hacktacular ending, and plenty of characters telling us exactly how they’re feeling. As a sort of bonus, some of this week’s exposition is written down rather than spoken. The story here is – and stop me if you’ve seen this one…
Quote of the Day
“Alright, let’s have a look see at your study area.” – Martin Prince “Study area?” – Bart Simpson “Yes, your sanctuary from the hurly-burly of modern life.” – Martin Prince “Well, there’s a desk under that junk over there.” – Bart Simpson “Oh, no, no, no, no, this won’t do at all. We’re going to have to clean up this room. And we’ll clearly need a few ferns in here. No study area is complete without adequate plant life.” – Martin Prince

Quote of the Day
“You know, there are three things we’re never going to get rid of here in Springfield: one, the bats in the public library; two, Mrs. McFearly’s compost heap; and, three, our six term mayor, the illiterate, tax cheating, wife swapping, pot smoking, spend-o-crat Diamond Joe Quimby.” – Birch Barlow “Hey! I am no longer illiterate.” – Mayor Quimby

“C’mon, TV, gimme some of that sweet, sweet pep…” – Homer Simpson “Let’s define our terms, gentlemen. Are we talking about redistricting or are we talking about reapportionment?” – Municipal Roundtable Guy “Oh, well. Can’t win ’em all.” – Homer Simpson “We interrupt this public affairs program to bring you a football game.” – TV Announcer “Yes!” – Homer Simpson
Saturday Morning Cartoons
“Young lady, cow hearts belong in a butcher’s window, not the classroom. Well, maybe in an older student’s biology classroom. But that’s none of my business. Elementary school is where I wound up and it’s too late to do anything about that!” – Principal Skinner The above is yet another example of how The Simpsons was able to cram jokes into every conceivable place in its episodes. It comes right as Lisa has set up Allison for failure at Diorama-Rama. For the middle of it, the sound even fades out on Skinner as the camera pushes in on Lisa, revealing her…
Quote of the Day
“Well, what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn’t it say ‘Die Bart Die’?” – Blue Haired Lawyer “No, that’s German for ‘The Bart, The’.” – Sideshow Bob “No one who speaks German could be an evil man.” – Parole Board Lady “Parole granted!” – Parole Board Chair
Behind Us Forever: The Serfsons
“I’ll go to the first aid tent and tell them to plug in ye olde stomach pump.” – Lisa Simpson NOTE: Sorry this took all week to post. I was traveling. I should start out by saying that I appreciate that they at least tried to get creative here. “The Serfsons” is basically an episode length Halloween segment that gets the tiresome antics of Zombie Simpsons out of Springfield without the family having to win another contest or something. The good news is that you can tell they actually put some effort into this one; there are a couple of…
