“Springfield Cops are on the take But what do you expect for the money we make? Whether in a car or on a horse We don’t mind using excessive force ” – Theme to Cops: In Springfield This week there’s a man on the run in New Zealand, some talk about Hawaiian shirts and a mythical TV Guide survey that only exists on websites that are not TV Guide‘s. Also a different blogger named Charlie agrees with me. Cool. New Zealand fugitive finds infamy – A Kiwi is on the run. I’ll let the BBC explain: William Stewart, or “Billy” as he is more commonly known, is wanted in connection with a series of burglaries in New Zealand’s South Island. But the fact he has avoided capture has seen him build up legions of fans. Hundreds of people have registered on his Facebook pages, following his attempts to stay ahead of the law. The Facebook pages have pictures of him, and updates on his whereabouts. They also include posts from fans wishing him good luck, and some goading the authorities. One writes: “Police down here couldn’t catch a cold.” If somebody gets killed this will be a lot harder to laugh at, so let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Comedy Central Greenlights New Animated Series – David Stern, who worked on The Simpsons in the before time, is working on a new animated show for Comedy Central: Ugly Americans, slated for a Q1 2010 premiere, takes place in an alternate universe New York City where creatures from horror, fantasy and science-fiction live among ordinary citizens. It focuses on Mark Lilly, a human social worker for the Department of Immigration who helps new citizens of all kinds adapt to life in the city. Yeah, I’ll give that a shot. Top 5 Weirdest Simpsons Games of All Time – I disagree with this: But as time went by, like the show, the games got weirder and weirder (and for the most part, better and better). And this is just plain un-American: The Simpsons Hit & Run was like a spoof of Grand Theft Auto, but I sort of enjoyed it more than the game it was spoofing to be honest. But it’s an interesting list nevertheless. Homer Simpson Approves of Google Android 2.0 “Donut” – Even by our standards this is a thin link, but pink frosting gets me every time. Hawaiian shirts – It’s an eight hundred word meditation on Hawaiian shirts with a mostly correctly quoted Homer Simpson reference: Homer Simpson perhaps distilled the essence of the shirts when he told Marge: “There’s only two kinds of guys who wear Hawaiian shirts: gay guys and big, fat party animals.” It gets better though. A guy named Jim Lewen, who sells them on line, misses the point: “Homer Simpson was wrong. They are not just for big fat guys,” he said. No. No, they’re not. Possible Homer Sexual alert. ‘Simpsons’ Mr Burns voted TV’s worst boss – Despite some searching with…
Going Out In Style
“They say the greatest tragedy is when a father outlives his son; I’ve never fully understood why that is. Frankly, I can see an upside to it.” – Abe “Grandpa” Simpson Futurama, the longer surviving of the two Simpsons spin-offs, ends today, more or less on its own terms. It was cancelled back in 2003 but strong reruns on cable got it brought back for 4 direct to DVD movies (each of which is comprised of four episodes condensed together), the final one of which, Into the Wild Green Yonder, came out today. Whatever one thinks of the show (I happen to be a fan, but that’s just me), it, unlike Zombie Simpsons, has an ending. Into the Wild Green Yonder has a “series finale” feel to it, ties things up at the end, and is a pretty decent way to send off a beloved television show. Pointless debates will never rage back and forth about when the show went to hell, or if its even still funny. It was on; it was loved; it will be missed; and it will live forever in reruns and home video.
