“Can I have my shirts back at least?” – Kirk van Houten “Okay, you heard the lady. Why don’t you take it outside, alright?” – Pyro Zombie Simpsons got the renewal nod from old dad and new dad yesterday. Both are very proud of their large adult son: “It’s a sincere pleasure to announce the Season 33 and 34 pick-ups for THE SIMPSONS. We keep hoping that, eventually, they’ll get it right,” said Charlie Collier, CEO, FOX Entertainment. “Profound respect for and congratulations to Matt, Jim, Al, Matt and the many other wonderful partners working really hard to finally elevate ‘The…

Makeup Quote of the Day
“I will now read the special vows which Homer has prepared for this occasion. Do you, Marge, take Homer in richness and in poorness, poorness is underlined, in impotence and in potence, in quiet solitude or blasting across the alkali flats in a jet powered, monkey navigated . . . and it goes on like this.” – Rev. Lovejoy

Alf Clausen Fired
“So that’s it, after twenty years: so long, good luck?” – Kirk van Houten “I don’t recall saying good luck.” – Cracker Factory Manager Last night, Variety broke the news that longtime Simpsons music guy Alf Clausen will no longer be working on Zombie Simpsons: Clausen told Variety that he received a call from “Simpsons” producer Richard Sakai that the company was seeking “a different kind of music” and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit. First of all, condolences to Clausen. Getting fired is rarely fun, and getting fired by the boss’s assistant, over the phone, from…

Reading Digest: Cake and Stupidity Edition
“See? You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a first class wedding reception.” – Homer Simpson Zombie Simpsons had a gimmick last Sunday, which was Castellaneta taking live calls while very little happened on screen. It was novel but pointless, so as far as the desperation of their publicity stunts go, this ranks somewhere in the middle. Marketing and pageview desperation being what they are, plenty of people on the internet wrote it up. There’s a couple links below, though none of it is really all that interesting. The tl;dr version is that they used thinking…

Reading Digest: Why Yes, It Is Time for Zombie Simpsons To End Edition
“Homey, I know you love me. We don’t need to get married again.” – Marge Simpson “Yes we do! I got us a divorce this afternoon!” – Homer Simpson The internet was still digesting the fact that Homer and Marge are not getting divorced for part of this week as the news slowly filtered down to small town paper blogs and other low traffic sites that aren’t very swift on the uptake. We do have a couple of links from people taking the story as a starting point to advocate for the show finally being sent to a farm upstate,…

Compare & Contrast: Adult Game Night
“Oh, I hate having parties. The toilet always gets backed up.” – Homer Simpson “I don’t care if the sink shoots sludge, we’re having a party!” – Marge Simpson There’s an inescapable lameness to those adult games that get broken out after dinner parties. When kids get together, they can easily make up games on the fly (you’ve got to reach home base at the couch, the lava starts at the edge of the carpet, etcetera), but grown-ups tend to need a little more structure, especially if they’re playing against people they don’t know that well. Trivial Pursuit, Scattegories and…
Compare & Contrast: Milhouse’s Parents Split Up
“You know who the real victim is in all of this? Milhouse.” – Marge Simpson Zombie Simpsons excels at telling the audience what is happening rather than showing them, which is the script writing equivalent of being a bricklayer who doesn’t use mortar. Show don’t tell is so fundamental to the job that you have to wonder how anyone could forget it, and the proof is in the piles of rubble that they try to pass off as finished work. Case in point from this week’s dreary “The War of Art” was Milhouse’s reaction to his parents breaking up. Thanks…
