Reading Digest: Ranking ToH Segments Edition
“What kind of show you got for us, Mr. Burns?” – Reporter “Well, the ape’s going to stand around for three hours or so. Then we’ll close with the ethnic comedy of Dugan and Dershowitz.” – C.M. Burns “Sensational!” – Reporter Happy Halloween, everybody! This week we’ve got a bunch of Treehouse of Horror related links, include quite a few to people who decided to list individual segments. As always, some are better than others and Zombie Simpsons only gets the occasional pity mention (if that). In addition we’ve got some live sightings of Simpsons clothing, video game ideas, cool…
Behind Us Forever: Treehouse of Horror XXV
“Stupid party, wish we was trick or treatin’.” – Bart Simpson The annual Halloween episode tends to be pretty bland in the hands of Zombie Simpsons, and this year was no different. The first story was about Bart going to school in Hell, where he does better than he used to do at Springfield Elementary. The second is a bunch of meandering references to Stanley Kubrick movies that ends with Kubrick himself staring right at the camera for some reason. The third one involved the old Tracey Ullman versions of the characters being ghosts. – Give them this, if they’re…

Reading Digest: Play Reviews Edition
“I’m dreading the reviews, I can tell you that.” – C.M. Burns Last week I mentioned that the post-apocalypse Mr. Burns play was opening in London. Well, London being something of a theater loving town, we have a deluge of reviews this week. Most are quite positive, some are decidedly not, but I suppose that’s life in showbiz. In addition to that, the merchandising march continues, a couple of Simpsons alums do some charity work, there’s quite a bit of excellent usage, and people keep finding creative ways to use the Lego figures. Enjoy. Family Guy vs. Simpsons – Smooth Charlie’s…
Behind Us Forever: Days of Future Future
“Bart, you cast the wrong spell! Zombies!” – Lisa Simpson So, was this episode the Futurama crossover or not? I didn’t see Fry or Leela, but there was a beer swilling robot and lots of inter-species relationships, so I’m not entirely sure. Also, part of it was a coma fantasy or a dream sequence, but I don’t have access to an original script so I don’t know if those pages were on pink paper or goldenrod. For those of you sage enough not to have watched it, we begin in the present when Homer dies. Frink, and remember, this is supposed…

“Do you sell toys?” – Homer Simpson “We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt, which I call frogurt.” – House of Evil Owner
Animation Alley: Treehouse of Horror III
(this episode was directed by Carlos Baeza) After two years of Marge in front of the curtain with her earnest word of warning, here Homer steps in, childishly goading the audience. But first, a wonderful take on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with Homer subbing for the master of horror, clearly even fatter than the silhouette. I laugh out loud every damn time during this shot of Marge chastising Homer, with no movement but Homer’s chewing lips. That completely blank expression serving to pay off the simple gag involving Homer the food monster. Also, not animation related, but I do like Marge…

“Smithers, this is a golden opportunity. If we get him alive, we can put him on Broadway! Dead, we’ll sell monkey stew to the army.” – C.M. Burns
And the Children Were Silent
“That doll is evil, I tells ya. Evil! Evil!” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson “Grampa, you said that about all the presents.” – Marge Simpson “I just want attention.” – Abe “Grampa” Simpson I happened to find myself at my brother’s house yesterday, keeping an eye on three of his kids, two nephews (13 and 11) and a niece (8). Though they’re well aware that the new episodes are subpar, they wanted to watch the new Zombie Simpsons. When Homer farted for the first time my niece got a goofy grin on her face, but the boys only looked up from…
Quote of the Day
“Hey, who’s this ‘Homer’ dude?” – Captain Otto “He’s either a fifty foot prehistoric ape, or a tourist trap concocted by the Ape Island Jaycees. Either way, we’re going ashore.” – C.M. Burns
Reading Digest: Marge Costume Edition
As I’m sure everyone knows, Monday is Halloween, and while there were lots and lots of previews for Sunday’s Zombie Simpsons episode, you will find none of them linked below. Why bore yourself more than once? Instead we have several links to Marge costumes past and present. Sadly, the only picture is of a lame store bought one, but a quick Google Image search will net you plenty of great looking homemade ideas and tips. In addition to that, we’ve got a Homer video game customization, a wildly overzealous copyright takedown notice, lots of usage, a kick ass home made…
Zombies Never Die
“Chapter Eight, let’s talk zombies. If a zombie bites you, you become a zombie. You must walk the Earth feeding on the brains of the living until the spell is broken.” – Bart Simpson It’s official, Zombie Simpsons lives to bore another day. James L. Brooks just tweeted it (via): That’ll take it through Season 25, or at least the spring of 2014. Neither side is likely to release any detailed figures but, as with every other time they’ve gone through this goofy public fit, mutual financial benefit won the day. I’ll do a more informative update when there’s some…
