Behind Us Forever: A Father’s Watch
“I have a watch with a minute hand.” – Bart Simpson “Alright, you can come. What time is it?” – Mr. Smithers “12:80. No, wait. Wait. What comes after twelve?” – Bart Simpson “One.” – Mr. Smithers “No, after twelve.” – Bart Simpson First off, sorry for there not being a Behind Us Forever for “22 for 30” last week. I was traveling Monday and Tuesday and by the time Wednesday rolled around I really didn’t feel like getting back into it. For those who haven’t seen it, Zombie Simpsons replaced character exposition with voiceover narrator exposition, Bart shaved points…

Behind Us Forever: Treehouse of Horror XXIV
“Is it supposed to take this long? What’s a good time for a mass evacuation of the entire plant?” – C.M. Burns “Forty-five seconds.” – Mr. Smithers “And what’s our time so far?” – C.M. Burns “I don’t know, sir, this stopwatch only goes up to fifteen minutes.” – Mr. Smithers Programming Note: Real life has once again very rudely interfered with my bitch-about-Zombie-Simpsons time the last couple of weeks, which is why this post is four days(!) late and I haven’t done a Compare & Contrast for either of the Season 25 episodes so far. Thanks to baseball there…

But “Moms I’d Like to Forget” didn’t seem to have an A-plot at all, at best it…

Crazy Noises: Mountain of Madness
“Tell me Simpson, if an opportunity arose for taking a small shortcut, you wouldn’t be averse to taking it, would you?” – C.M. Burns “Uhh, not as such.” – Homer Simpson “Neither would I. I’ve always felt that there’s far too much hysteria these days about so-called ‘cheating’.” – C.M. Burns “Yes, a lot of . . . hysteria.” – Homer Simpson “Mmm-hmm, if you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it’s your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift, or the jumble to the quick witted? Should…
