Moleman's shtick was that he dies a lot and only has about two lines of dialogue per episode. It's a little too over the top, even for Moleman.

So what it's new Season 7 Simpsons content in 2020 it's still better than entire decades of the show that came after.

dickens' stories were published chapter-by-chapter as newspaper serials, like soap operas, and he was paid by the word. you couldn't design a more perfect situation to drag out a boring story ten times longer than it should possibly be

Homer is working from home on disability and is watching day time soaps. In this episode of Search for the Sun two siblings are engaged in a dispute over their deceased father's estate. The daughter, referring to the contested will, asserts that she is to inherit the entire plantation, while the son uses "apricot one" - presumably just one of a great number of orchards - to emphasise just how little of the estate he's willing to concede. This is simultaneously a parody of typical soap melodrama about family businesses and succession whilst also being extremely mundane and unglamorous, where soaps are often about fashion empires and the like.

It's also like saying "I'll see to it you won't get a cent!" but they're so affluent the smallest unit of value they can conceive of is a single apricot orchard.

I used to listen to him on Retronauts except the host there makes my fuckin blood boil with constant interruptions, not letting people discuss a subject if it's not adhering to his carefully constructed timeline of what order topics need to come up in, and whenever he asks a question has to blather on for a couple more sentences putting words in people's mouths of what the answer might be.

Ah that makes sense. I always thought that “Search for the Sun” meant they were on a space colony and Apricot One was their main ship. Your explanation is better.
