It's more that every writer in the room gets a co-credit and royalty for every song that shows up in an episode, so they keep finding excuses to do them.

The other reason is that songs let you chew up x minutes of an episode without having to write dialogue or plot or even jokes, and a lot of the can be written independently of any particular episode/script and slot in wherever.

Lisa strikes me as the type to burn right the gently caress out by the time she hits college.

Definitely.

It also seems like the early Seasons of the show were going a direction with her that they didn’t run with in terms of real mental strife and potential mood disorders. There’s the episode she feels sad, but also a quick line in Homer and Delilah where she says she wants fewer mood swings and mental stability.

The show would have had a very different tone if one of their main characters was clinically mentally ill, and not in a way that was (only) played for jokes.

A lot would be explained by Homer having ADHD. And probably also Bart and Lisa. Combine that with a propensity to addiction from Marge... hell, that explains the Corey Hotline episode.

I hope the show lasts another 20 years so he can just use his normal voice for Burns.

We demand to be taken seriously

The newest episode of the podcast CodeSwitch has Hank Azaria and Hari Kondabolu discussing Apu, and Azaria’s decision to stop voicing the character. Good ep, as opposed to the show’s initial reaction to criticism Azaria has self awareness and acknowledges the major problems, especially being rightly horrified that during many hate crimes against South Asian or Middle Eastern American clerks the perpetrators commonly called them Apu.

Oh man how does the showrunner get the performance & still allow it to be aired? I mean I know why, but still. The cast must have amazing solidarity to prevent badly needed recasting or character retirements.

I had the same realisation about Krusty & Bette Midler's horse, being a combination of their names & being Krudler, instead of the natural combination of Misty.

Anyone who didn't name their horse "Krudler" in Red Dead Redemption 2 played the game incorrectly.

that one's great, and while it's not a particularly clever exchange like that, i love the following in the same episode:

selma: can't you do something?
surly: look, surly looks after one guy: surly
selma: gee, sorry surly
surly: shut up
