Monday Evening Cartoons
“Hey, Lisa! Make friends with this!” – Bart Simpson “Hey! . . . Help! . . . Help!” – Milhouse van Houten I just finished my traditional Fourth of July watching of “Summer of 4Ft 2”, and I wanted to note just how awful it is when Milhouse gets spat on in that spinning ride. He takes a lot of abuse in this episode (even by his standards), and this might be the worst part. It’s Milhouse at his most Milhouse: caught up in other people’s problems and helpless to do anything but suffer horribly for it. When the episode…

Compare & Contrast: Homer and 4th of July Fireworks Disasters
“This baby’s sure to kill something!” – Homer Simpson There is little doubt that a man who famously likes his beer cold, his teevee loud, and his homosexuals flaming, is a big fan of the thundering light show that is Fourth of July fireworks. Of course, Homer is also the exact opposite person who should ever actually be involved with them. He is thoughtless, careless and impulsive, and those are not traits that mix well with gunpowder. In “The Yellow Badge of Cowardage”, Zombie Simpsons played with that combustible mixture and blew itself up. In “Summer of 4 Ft. 2”, The…

Wednesday Morning Cartoons
“And, so, as Abraham Lincoln sat in Ford’s Theater that night, John Wilkes Booth entered, drew his gun, and- . . . well, that’s it. Have a nice summer everyone.” – Miss Hoover “But what happened in Ford’s Theater?” – Kid “Was President Lincoln okay?” – Ralph Wiggum “He was fine . . . go home, Ralph.” – Miss Hoover This episode is a Fourth of July favorite for a lot of reasons, but there is a certain bittersweet feeling to it. This is the show near it’s end; so while it’s great, you know it doesn’t have much time…

“Okay, okay, okay, not your fault, it’s a bird thing. You don’t control the birds. You will someday, but not now.” – Lisa Simpson

Season 7 Sunsets: Has Anyone Else Noticed This?
“Well, get a last look at the beautiful ocean scenery, kids.” – Homer Simpson A few weeks ago I noticed something peculiar about Season 7: half the episodes end with a sunset or something similar, often with someone heading off into it. As near as I can tell, it’s not like that in any other season. Even Season 8, which was run and written by most of the same people as Season 7, features a more typically random assortment of endings. These are the endings of the Season 7 episodes that were done under Oakley and Weinstein: Radioactive Man –…

Reading Digest: Retrospective Edition
“Ah, the reward for a year’s worth of toil and sacrifice: Retrospecticus.” – Lisa Simpson It being the end of the year and all, people are taking stock and looking back. This week that includes one long generalize look back at the show and two people who did what I did and looked back at “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”. In addition to that we’ve got lots of usage, retrospectives on other Christmas specials, David Silverman’s New Year’s card, old t-shirts, and a couple of people finding inner peace through The Simpsons. Enjoy. Review of Daft Puck’s album Tron:…
