Behind Us Forever: Dogtown
“The dog has had enough excitement.” – Marge Simpson “But Marge, dogs can never have enough excitement!” – Homer Simpson Two years ago, as part of their “use our reputation to farm out work we’d rather not do” policy, Zombie Simpsons let the Rick & Morty people do a couch gag. It was okay, and I’ve long said that the guest couch gags are one of the few parts of the show that’s still kinda creative. Well, this week Zombie Simpsons did an extremely poor take off on the Rick & Morty episode “Lawnmower Dog”. Emphasis on “extremely”. In “Dogtown”, Springfield passes a bunch of…

Rumor Control: Harry Shearer (Possibly/Probably) Leaving Zombie Simpsons
“Nobody’s mentioned me, have they?” – Principal Skinner “I thought I heard someone say your name in the cafeteria, but they might have been saying ‘skim milk’.” – Bart Simpson The internet is full of reports that Harry Shearer will not be doing voices for the recently announced two season renewal. This being the internet, the certitude of the headlines ran a bit ahead of the actual information. Here are the facts: 1. Over the last couple of days, TMZ (I know, gross) reported that Shearer was not on board with the most recent renewal. 2. Late last night (though…
Quote of the Day
“The ingredients were, fresh pureed tomatoes, water, salt, and sodium benzoate used to retard spoilage. Once again, if I’m not mistaken, this can contained tomato paste.” – Nelson Muntz “Thank you, Nelson, I look forward to seeing it again next week.” – Mrs. Krabappel

Quote of the Day
“They’re going to eat this up at show and tell.” – Bart Simpson “I’m not sure if I’m comfortable with the idea of your classmates laughing at our family’s private moments. How would you like it if twenty years from now people were laughing at things you did?” – Marge Simpson “Not likely.” – Bart Simpson Happy 20th Anniversary to “Sweet Seymour Skinner’s Baadasssss Song”! Original airdate 28 April 1994.
Reading Digest: Blank Potato Merchandising Edition
“Why don’t you bring this potato? It’s pretty big.” – Marge Simpson “Mom, you’re always trying to give me potatoes. What is it with you?” – Bart Simpson “I just think they’re neat.” – Marge Simpson Between the internet echoes of last week’s streaming news and the announcement of a, wait for it, Mr. Potato Head Homer, the signal to noise ratio was pretty bad again this week, so it’s once again a shorter than usual Reading Digest. When they announced last year that they were kicking the merchandising into overdrive, they weren’t kidding, and it seems like hardly a…

Quote of the Day
“I need something for show and tell!” – Bart Simpson “Just take one of my geodes. . . . The rocks on my desk. . . . No, that’s a trilobite. That’s petrified wood. Bart, that’s a bran muffin!” – Lisa Simpson
Quote of the Day
“I know Weinstein’s parents were upset, superintendent, but I was sure it was a phony excuse. It sounds so made up, ‘Yom Kip-poor’.” – Principal Skinner
Quote of the Day
“Let’s thank the Lord for another beautiful school day.” – Ned Flanders “‘Thank the Lord’? ‘Thank the Lord’! That sounded like a prayer. A prayer . . . a prayer in a public school!

When a Movie Template Goes Nowhere
“Now I finally have time to do what I’ve always wanted, write the great American novel. Mine is about a futuristic amusement park where dinosaurs are brought to life through advanced cloning techniques. I call it, ‘Billy and the Cloneasaurus”. – Seymour Skinner “Oh, you have got be kidding, sir. First, you think of an idea that has already been done, and then you give it a title that nobody could possibly like! Didn’t you think this through?” – Apu Nahasapeemapetilon If I wasn’t so inured to the relentless mediocrity of Zombie Simpsons, I might find an episode like “The…
