I was watching “Three Men and a Comic…

DVD Commentary: Crepes of Wrath with Wes Archer and George Meyer
Wednesday was the 30th Anniversary of “The Crepes of Wrath”. So I busted out my Season 1 DVDs and spent some quarantime listening to Wes Archer and George Meyer’s commentary. Wikipedia says these DVDs were released in September 2001, so the commentaries were probably recorded in early 2001 or so. From early 2001, this episode was 11 years old. Today it is 30 years old, so the time between the commentary recording and now is roughly double that between the episode and the recording. This gives an interesting flavor some of what’s said. By the time this was recorded, Archer…
Saturday Morning Cartoons
“Perhaps you’d be more comfortable talking to Snappy the Alligator.” – Mr. Smithers “Maybe.” – C.M. Burns The episode where Burns sells out to the Germans occurs halfway through Season 3. By this early point in the series we’ve already seen him gleefully cancel employee Christmas bonuses, run for governor, run down a child in his car, commit Homer (involuntarily) to a mental hospital, and rage scald Smithers with hot tea. As a human being he is comprehensively vile, uncaring about the pain his actions inflict and rich enough to cause damage on a scale most evil people could only…
Sunday Evening Cartoons: Brad Goodman vs. Rona
“Let’s look at the rainbow. What’s in there?” – Brad Goodman I’ve never had much use for “best episode” or “favorite season” discussions. I always enjoy talking Simpsons, even when I’m drinking my chicory, but trying to definitely say this essentially flawless episode is better than that essentially flawless episode has never seemed fun to me. That being said, I recognize that “Marge vs. the Monorail” will always top “Bart’s Inner Child” in terms of popularity. The song alone puts the monorail episode ahead. But the one and only thing I never liked about “Marge vs. the Monorail”, even…

“We need a cure! We need a cure!” – Mob “Why the only cure is bedrest. Anything I give you would only be a placebo.” – Dr. Hibbert “Where do we get these placebos?!” – Panicked Woman “Maybe there’s some in this truck!” – Panicked Man Howdy, campers, how’s everyone doing with the ongoing unpleasantness? My life has certainly been turned upside down, though I’m on team “Stuck At Home” not team “Doing All the Real Work”, so I’ve got it fairly easy. And while there are a lot of people that I love and care about who are at…
