Hmm, looks more digital/CG than normal in one of these earlier episodes.
Hey Charlie, with Sessions’ latest crusade against weed kicking off, maybe you could use the “legalize it” quote from “Bart to the Future”.
(And I say this as someone who doesn’t use the stuff and is generally a fence-sitter on the whole issue.)
Thank you!
I don’t believe you’re the real Al Jean.
I mean, Al’s verified Twitter has acknowledged this site’s existence numerous times and commented on here before, so this is likely him
I still find it unlikely, unless maybe he posts a tweet verifying this. Anybody can make up a name here.
Exactly. I know he had posted here twice (when he confirmed the show would continue for two additional seasons and another time I can’t remember), but I have seen “Al Jean” comments several more times, with no reason to believe it’s the genuine article.
What would a troll possibly gain by saying “thank you” to a birthday post in character as the guy being wished happy birthday. It’d be pointless to fake being him in this case
It’s a Simpsons site. And a popular one. Remember Stan?
Ok but Stan had an actual account, whereas “Al Jean” isn’t registered.
For the sake of argument, let’s say it is a troll and they begin commenting here more frequently because everyone bought them saying “thank you”. Each individual comment would therefore have no credibility because they have no registered account; it’s all anonymous aside from the username. Any would-be troll has nothing to gain from this
You seriously underestimate the power of trolls.
(See how easy it is?)
Looks more like Brad Storch
No, it’s Betty. Betty….Symington!
Yes it’s the real me. Thanks for your devotion to the Simpsons whatever seasons you prefer.
(Lol I feel like one of the kids talking to Scott Calvin in The Santa Clause but I am going to say it because I have faith it is the real Al Jean.) Season 4 is my favourite season of The Simpsons and one of my favourite seasons of any TV show ever. Thank you for playing your part in giving me and my brother awesome childhood memories of watching The Simpsons together at my grandparents house. We still quote hundreds of lines whenever we are together. x
Season four’s my favorite season, too. If the show ended there (with either Krusty Gets Kancelled or Cape Feare [the “Sideshow Bob gets paroled and The Simpsons become The Thompsons” episode], since Cape Feare has a season 4 production code, despite airing in season 5), then there’d be no problems in naming The Simpsons the best animated American sitcom ever (yeah, you would have some people saying season one sucked [and it did], but season one was bad animation and art-wise, not writing and humor wise).
(cont’d): Oh, and does anyone but me notice in the list of birthday boys and girls, there’s Ken Keeler and Patric Verrone (both of whom were Simpson writers [though Verrone only did one episode]).
