Sunday Preview: “Father Knows Worst”
For those keeping count at home, tonight’s episode is one of four left this season to ridicule and summarily reject on the basis of mediocrity. Usually Fox trots out a promo image for new Zombie Simpsons episodes, but they opted not to this time around. No matter, ours is way better. In fact, Fox might as well save themselves the trouble and borrow our format: screengrabs from old episodes magically repurposed into something new and daring. Anyway, gazing into SNPP’s crystal ball, we get the following synopsis about “Father Knows Worst,” which is guaranteed to be forgettable: Homer tries to solve Bart and Lisa’s academic and social problems with a bit of overparenting; meanwhile, if anybody is looking for Marge, she’s probably in the sauna in the basement Are the writers even trying anymore? Even the shoddy premise signals that they’ve thrown their arms up like so many cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

The Kids Are Alright
“Bart, I don’t know if this sould be an Extra.” – Rod Flanders “Is your source on this reliable?” – Todd Flanders This is the first thing it says on Emory University’s “About” page: Emory University is an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged and diverse community whose members work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world through courageous leadership in teaching, research, scholarship, health care and social action. That is a mouthful of a sentence, nevertheless I think they have some very fine young people there. In a paean to Conan O’Brien in the Emory Wheel, senior Daniel Berger writes: Though it was my favorite show as a kid, by the time I turned 12 or 13 I discovered that the “Simpsons” were best viewed in reruns. The “Simpsons” has declined so much since then that it has unwittingly justified the decision of every other show that decided to go out on a high note. Okay, let’s do the math. Seniors are typically 21 or 22 years old – 12 or 13 years old = 8-10 years ago = the dawn of Zombie Simpsons. He’s hit the nail right on the head. Here’s hoping he becomes a Fox executive in the next ten years or so, then we might finally get Zombie Simpsons taken off the air.
