“You know before I saw these test results I had you pegged as a drifter.” – Dr. J. Loren Pryor “Wow, a drifter . . .” – Bart Simpson “Lousy sheriff, run me out of town, he’s lost my vote.” – Drifter Bart “Cool.” – Bart Simpson In our continuing mission to bring you only the finest in low class, low brow, and low tech internet Simpsons commentary we’re bringing back our “Crazy Noises” series and applying it to Season 21. Because doing a podcast smacks of effort we’re still using this “chatroom” thing that all the middle schoolers and…

Synergy Pines for Its Lost Youth and Innocence
“There has been a shocking decline in the quality and quantity of your toadying, Waylon!” – C.M. Burns Much like last week, this week’s IGN Simpsons “review” was surprisingly long on criticism within the text before giving it a good number anyway. I don’t want to repeat myself too much, but this episode scored a 6.9 when the actual review was mostly negative even before I edited out the synergy. What would it have needed to do to score less than that? True, the tone is still that of a gently cowed subordinate, but the substance of this review is…
Zombie Simpsons Ignored by 97.7% of US Population
Last nights exercise in dull was watched by a mere 7.04 million unfortunate souls. That number is the the lowest of the season and lower than any episode ever broadcast in the fall. Even though I know these numbers don’t mean anything it’s still nice to see a really awful one like this. I can’t wait for the winter ratings because if this fall’s numbers are any indicator they are going to be terrible. On the downside Zombie Simpsons won it’s completely meaningless competition with The Cleveland Show giving it a 4-2 lead overall. That’s one less ivory back scratcher…
Giving This post a Decent Title Would Require More Thought than Zombie Simpsons Devotes to a Whole Episode
Bart is Marge, Marge is Homer, and painfully trite exposition can take up a lot of time if you don’t care in the least about the quality of what you’re doing. I don’t mind pointless meandering narratives from elderly relatives (the holidays are coming up and I’m 100% ready), but, rightly or wrongly, I expect more from $5,000,000 television episodes. Making a teevee audience suffer through a 22-minute after school special about the horrors of being a slacker when they could be doing almost anything else is an outright disgrace. Less unfunny alternatives include waiting for downloads to finish, masturbating…
Sunday Preview: “Pranks and Greens”
I don’t know what a “Jonah Hill” is, but apparently there will be one guest starring in this Sunday’s episode of Zombie Simpsons. Here’s the brief description from Simpsons Channel: Bart tracks down Andy Hamilton, Springfield Elementary’s best prankster ever (guest voice Jonah Hill) and they become fast friends until Bart gets Andy a job working for the ultimate clown. Not much to work with, admittedly, but I’m not holding my breath for this one. And, bonus, we’ve got an encore presentation of the dreadful Season 21 opener, “Homer the Whopper.” Fox has deemed it fit to let us revel…
