Reading Digest: Link Patrol Blows It
“Food patrol, we’re all starved! Let’s see what you’ve got. That’s it? What happened to all the lobsters, mangoes, and chewy chewy cocoa beans?” – Bart Simpson It’s a seriously short Reading Digest this week, which means either not much is going on or my link finding skills have atrophied. We do have some more of those FXX promo things and a pretty good review of “Raging Abe Simpson”, so it’s not like there’s nothing. Also, Dave yelled at me for not linking more TV stuff here, so if any of you want to see me praise something with the same fervor…

REMINDER: Even In The Early 1990s ‘The Internet’ Didn’t Hate On The Simpsons
“Go apple!” – Bart Simpson “Go orange!” – Nelson Muntz “Go banana!” – Ralph Wiggum This was originally going to be part of today’s Reading Digest, but this silly Warming Glow clickbait is making the rounds and needs a more thorough rebuttal: REMINDER: The Internet Hated On ‘The Simpsons’ During The Golden Era Let’s get started, shall we?: As it’s been noted around these parts, FXX will be airing all episodes of The Simpsons over 12 days in August along with an all encompassing website. As with anything regarding The Simpsons on the internet, there are also plenty of comments about…

Reading Digest: Jealous of Canada Edition
Oh, Canada, you guys get all the cool stuff. Not only is tomorrow the one night only engagement of the Simpsons burlesque show in Toronto, but Canada is also now home to a wine called “D’Oh”. I would very much like to attend the former, preferably while imbibing the latter. Sadly, I am stuck Stateside. This week we’ve also got two awesome paeans to the show from people who grew up watching it, interviews with Groening and Reiss, a video game mishap, two people making fun of the Game of Thrones opening from last week, and a “needs more weed”…

Crazy Noises: Das Bus
“You let us stay up to watch Troy McClure in such other Bible epics as ‘David vs. Super Goliath’ and ‘Suddenly Last Supper’.” – Lisa Simpson “Go Lis, way to cite precedent.” – Bart Simpson There’s no new Zombie Simpsons until September, so we’re going to spend the summer overthinking Season 9. Why Season 9? Because we did Season 8 last summer, and Season 9 was when the show started becoming more Zombie than Simpsons. Since we’re too lazy to do audio and too ugly to do video, we’ve booked a “chatroom” (ours is right between the one with the…

Blood from a Turnip
“Can I have some money now?” – Homer Simpson The existence of Zombie Simpsons these past ten years or so has been an exercise in naked greed. But up until this week FOX had generally tried to shield the show itself from at least some of that. Sure they’ll merchandise anything, but the actual show, the foundation upon which everything else rests, was generally treated with a modicum of respect. No longer. This is a screen grab from the menu for the Season 20 DVD: That’s it. They couldn’t even be bothered to properly animate the upper half of…
