Reading Digest: Hooray Season 2 Edition
“Look, there’s only one thing worse than being a loser. It’s being one of those guys who sits in a bar telling the story of how he became a loser, and I never want that to happen to me.” – Homer Simpson “Please, Homer.” – Barney Gumble “Yeah, come on, Homer.” – Moe “Well, okay.” – Homer Simpson We’ve got three links about Season 2 this week, and not just “here’s a thing that happened in this episode”, but lots of love for the whole season. Excellent. In addition to that, Hank Azaria got a new part, there’s some cool…

Some Simpsons Day YouTube
“Oh, Marge, sitting next to the boss, the best night of the year and it’s ruined!” – Homer Simpson Last year Simpsons Day fell on a Saturday and I got to spend the whole thing sitting on my ass and watching cartoons. Sadly, today is a work day, but there’s still plenty of great, old Simpsons stuff to enjoy on-line. For starters, check out this 1990 interview with Groening, Brooks and Simon: Near the end, the interviewer asks about all the merchandise (remember, this was the absolute height of Bartmania), and Groening plugs some of the upcoming licensed crap: We’ve…
Season 2 Marathon: 22 Episodes, 22 Beers, 8h:23m:51s
“I can’t think of a better place to spend a balmy summer’s night than the old ball yard. There’s just the green grass of the outfield, the crushed brick of the infield, and the white chalk lines that divide the man from the little boy.” – Lisa Simpson “Lisa, honey, you’re forgetting the beer. It comes in seventy-two ounce tubs here.” – Homer Simpson Good morning and welcome to the sixth Simpsons-Beer Marathon. Today we’re doing Season 2. As with previous efforts, I will make use of the pause and reverse buttons to get a quote right or take a…
Reading Digest: Summer Ephemera Edition
“I’m sorry, young man, you’re just not ready. Pick up your check at the front office and for god’s sake put some clothes on!” – Dave Rosenfield The internet pickings were slim this week. I don’t know if it was a hangover from the Fourth or just general summer doldrums, but we do have some summer links, including an RC car, a Spanish clip from “Summer of 4Ft 2”, and a nice baseball story. There are also a couple of lists, an upcoming screening of Harry Shearer’s New Orleans movie, some excellent usage, and even the thinnest of tie-ins to…

Compare & Contrast: Big Screens and Ballgames
“Homer! Homer! X-Y-Z.” – Marge Simpson “Examine my zipper, why? Whoops.” – Homer Simpson Zombie Simpsons is nothing if not a heartless and brainless imitation of The Simpsons. Unfortunately for those charged with doing the imitating, the real thing left very few topics uncovered during its run. Consequently, Zombie Simpsons is forced to dig up old ideas, slap a more modern theme on them, and pretend that they’ve done something new. This happens in ways small and large. For a small one, look at the awkward way “Love Is a Many Strangled Thing” dredged up Bart’s crank calls to Moe. …
Crazy Noises: The Blue and the Gray
Image used under Creative Commons license from Flickr user Sarah_Ackerman. “Well, I guess it’s back to good old Springfield.” – Bart Simpson “But I can’t go back, not after I’ve seen the bright lights of Capital City. I’ll wither and die like a hothouse flower!” – Lisa Simpson In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22. Since a podcast is so 2004, and video would require a flag, a fern and some folding chairs from the garage, we’ve elected to use the…
