“Bart Simpson, is your book report on Treasure Island ready?” – Mrs. Krabappel “Is it ready? Ha! What a question! Fellow students, prepare to be dazzled! . . . Well, as Mrs. Krabappel already mentioned, the name of the book that I read was Treasure Island. It’s about these pirates . . . Pirates with patches over their eyes . . . and shiny gold teeth . . . and green birds on their shoulders. Did I mention this book was written by a guy named Robert Louis Stevenson? And published by the good people at McGraw Hill. So, in…

Homer!” – Marge Simpson “What?” – Homer Simpson “Bring the television up! Bart’s got his vision back!” – Marge Simpson “D’oh! Wish I had amoria phlebitis.” – Homer Simpson
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
Image shamelessly yoinked from here. “I think what we have on our hands here is a classic case of what laymen refer to as ‘fear of failure’. As a result, Bart is an underachiever, and yet he seems to be, how should I put this? Proud of it?” – Dr. J. Loren Pryor Happy Simpsons Day, everybody!
Compare & Contrast: Martin Prince
“You’re killing me, fish. Never have I seen a greater or more noble thing than you, brother. Come on and kill me! I do not care who kills who. To catch a fish, to kill a bull, to make love to a woman, to live!” – Martin Prince There was a great deal of nostalgia laden fan service in the (presumably) non-ironically titled “Replaceable You”, which means that there are a great deal of things that could be compared and contrasted. The nerds made an utterly pointless appearance, Homer got an assistant, and Mrs. Glick was apparently killed off while…
The Lesson Is: Never Try
“This is as good as I can do, and I still failed!” – Bart Simpson When it comes to Zombie Simpsons I’m firmly in the camp of “It Never Gets Better”, and last night’s exercise in repetition and tedium is a perfect example of why. They managed to not spin themselves into blood soaked absurdity like last week, there weren’t any pointless celebrity cameos, and there was even kind of a story. But while this is the best they can do, it’s still flat, dull and boring. Just consider the school auction at the beginning. In that scene alone we…

Think of the (Future) Children!
“You just demonstrated applied knowledge; and due to the difficulty and relative obscurity of the reference, you deserve an extra point on your exam.” – Mrs. Krabappel A couple of weeks ago, Matt Zoller Seitz wrote an article for Salon about the longevity of pop culture in general and The Simpsons in particular. He was watching “Krusty Gets Kancelled” with his kids (aged 7 and 13), and he was concerned that they weren’t getting all the jokes. They were laughing, but he worried that they weren’t enjoying it on as many levels as he was. Being a well practiced columnist,…
