quote:Homer and Marge celebrate their anniversary, leaving the kids at home with Grampa. Marge points out that Grampa needs to be home in an hour, so she and Homer do all their activities as fast as possible. At home, Bart and Lisa are bored and ask Grampa if they can play a game. Bart finds some plastic army men toys in the basement, which causes Grampa to panic. This episode was OK, not great. Certainly not Emmy worthy

I don't think anyone wants to be the first to quit and get blamed for killing the show. This is the world's worst game of chicken and ends in ritual mass suicide.

Lol she she wanted a raise from $2000 per episode, to $6000 per episode, but Fox only offered a raise of $150, she quit and that’s why they killed Maude Flanders . Unreal.

Holy poo poo, I just looked this up and I was surprised. I thought the voice actress of Maude died, so that's why they killed her character. (Although thinking back, that would be the least tasteful way to handle that if so.)

At least with all that other poo poo like Ke$ha, Gaga, the voting/political shorts etc they were at least attempting to make entertainment. The Apu thing was a jokeless and artless scolding of the viewers.

If I were a current Simpsons writer, I'd put Bleeding Gums Murphy in an episode (that isn't a flashback or a Treehouse or something) just to see if anyone noticed. Coincidentally, I just watched Do The Bartman today for the first time ever.

I watched 5 minutes of a newer episode last night waiting for a good show to come on and The Simpson’s made a good joke. Bart is in trouble and everyone thinks he’s on drugs. SIT Chalmers says “Mrs. Simpson we know you’ve tried everything to keep Bart in line... Ritalin, Lithium, Adderall... but now I’m afraid he’s turned to drugs!” and I sorta chuckled because that’s kinda clever. Then there was a nonsense joke where Homer accidentally puts himself on the Amber Alert watchlist, and to cover it up, Wiggum swaps it to Moe instead, right as he is exiting a bakery with a wedding cake. As the crowd turns on him, Moe says “a bad time to be holding this cake” and I turned it off.

Marge's book would be at least 25 years old, but the cartoon's written each year and is ostensibly providing modern social commentary. Just on this issue, they're choosing to ignore they're working in a medium that can change year on year

Just on this issue, they're choosing to ignore they're working in a medium that can change year on year I’ve posted about it before, but this scene is absolutely the lowest point, hands-down. Almost every line is terrible, insensitive, and/or tone-deaf. First it states making something inoffensive is somehow taking the spirit and character out of it, implying that somehow bigotry gives a work of art ~*personality*~. Marge specifying the character is “cisgender”, with the context just provided, feels like a stab at non-binary and/or trans people. Then the implication that only hyperbolic / cartoonish SJWs care about net neutrality is great too. Then Lisa, the “woke” one, states that with this character being so “perfect” that they can’t grow - as though the only way one can improve oneself is by being bigoted and learning how not to be bigoted. Then of course is the big fuckin whammy of “well what can ya do!” which is loving terrible, because you can just fix the loving character lmao. The recent seasons have had other scenes that are just as terrible in terms of “owning SJWs” but this is the only one that is directly addressing (read: making fun of) a real-world criticism of the show and a problematic element within it. It’s basically telling people who find Apu offensive to gently caress off, and hey everyone needs to just lighten up a little, racism gives stories personality and charm!

My wife is watching the Emmies (Emmy's?), and Homer was brought on as the original host of the show. He awkwardly, slowly walks across the stage, and starts giving a speech with literally no jokes in it, getting only two sentences in. Then a piano falls on him, the end. (Then someone else gets up from the audience and starts to take over.) This is the first new Simpsons I've seen in like a decade, and man does his voice seem marbley.
