The Cost of Zombie Simpsons
“I think it’s full, sir.” – Mr. Smithers “That’s ridiculous! The last tree held nine drums!” – C.M. Burns NOTE: Back in September, in response to Alf Clausen’s firing, I posted what would be a new chapter for an expanded version of “Zombie Simpsons: How the Best Show Ever Became the Broadcasting Undead”. The book is still being shopped to publishers, and early responses have been mixed, in that some of them ignore it, and others reject it. But it’s Simpsons Day, and I’m a long way from giving up on it, so here is another new chapter. It’s very…

Please make a note of it.” – Monorail Computer Voice As you may have heard by now, Zombie Simpsons got renewed for two more production runs yesterday.

Leonard Nimoy Boldly Goes
“Well, my work is done here.” – Leonard Nimoy “What do you mean, ‘Your work is done’? You didn’t do anything.” – Barney “Didn’t I?” – Leonard Nimoy The sad news today is that Leonard Nimoy, repeat Simpsons (and Futurama) guest voice, accomplished photographer, dispenser of vocal wisdom, bard of Bilbo, Shatner-putter-upper-with, and, of course, the one true Spock, died this morning. He was 83, and you can read his full obituary here. The best I can say about him is that he did what he told everyone else to do: lived long and prospered. In other news, there isn’t going…
