“Don’t worry Bart, it seems like every week something odd happens to the Simpsons. My advice is to ride it out, make an occasional smart aleck quip, and by next week we’ll be back to where we started from, ready for another wacky adventure.” – Lisa Simpson “Aye caramba!” – Bart Simpson “That’s the spirit.” – Lisa Simpson I was a little worried that the internet would get eaten by Zuckerberg this week the way it was eaten by Glee last couple of weeks. Fortunately, it died out by Tuesday and we’ve got some quality links. There’s a lot of…

Football-less Zombie Simpsons Crashes and Burns
“Where’s your messiah now, Flanders?” – Chief Wiggum With no lead in from the NFL, no anniversary special, no massive promotional effort Zombie Simpsons’ popularity has plummeted to earth like so much half chewed fish. Last night’s test of audience patience drew a puny 5.11 million viewers. Is that the lowest rating ever? Yes, yes it is. The only problem with it is that it’s just slightly higher than Family Guy Spinoff #1 which came in at 5.06 in the 9:30 slot. I think we can safely conclude that there will be no lasting bump from nostalgia related anniversary viewers.

“I’m Goin’ to Praiseland” Makes Baby Jesus Cry
“What’s with the lead pipe? Were you gonna give my noggin a floggin’?” – Ned Flanders One of the true hallmarks of Zombie Simpsons is the way relationships between characters have changed for the worse.

They stopped being recognizable characters and became an institution. Much the same thing happened between Homer and Flanders. Homer used to simply resent his neighbor for being a better and…
