The Simpsons: Love, Springfieldian Style

 ”Happy Valentine’s Day, and shut your gum” — Homer Simpson.

No complaints about The Simpsons scheduling (although it’s terribly erratic) or debates with myself on continuity (Rich: You bastard. Now I have nothing to do that week). Let’s get right to that week’s programme, which featured t…

The Simpsons: That 90’s Show

“This is Kurt Loder, reporting from the 90’s” — Kurt Loder as Kurt Loder

Ladies and gentleman, as a change of pace I will be debating myself during that week’s review of The Simpsons.

Futurama meets The Simpsons


Apparently, someone created a comedian book in which the cast of Futurama meets the cast of The Simpsons. As a fan of both, let me say that it would be pretty cool to see on television.
It’s not external the realm of opportunity for the two universes to collide since both products are owned by Fo…

The Simpsons: E. Pluribus Wiggum

( “To Springfield!”

“Which one?”

“The one where The Simpsons habitable.”

My oh my, was that a jam-packed episode of The Simpsons or what? I haven’t seen that many sight gags in one installment of the show for the longest date. Not only that, but that was probably the first episode of…

Wiggum for President in 2008


We are just days absent from the presidential primary season (Thank God!) and there seems to be a late entry into the race for the White House.

Well the first thing you know ol’ Jed’s a billionaire

Did The Simpsons use a song without paying the composer? - VIDEOS

You may have noticed the homage to a famous YouTube video during last night’s episode of The Simpsons. The scene where we see the rapid flashbacks of Homer’s life to the beautiful piano music was based on (as some readers pointed out) a video by Noah Kalina, where he took a picture of himself every …

The Simpsons: Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind

The capital of Montana is not “Hannah” — Bart’s Blackboard Gag

Since they have plenty of instance on their hands now, I’d like to take a moment and speak to the scheduling executives by at FOX.

The Simpsons: Little Orphan Millie

After a month of Homer and Marge-centric episodes (I don’t count ‘Treehouse of Horror’ stories considering they take place external of The Simpsons continuity. Don’t laugh!) we finally get one focusing on the Simpson kids and their friends. In that case the highlight is on one Milhouse Van Ho…

The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror XVIII

(S19E05) ‘The Monkey’s Paw’, ‘The Bart Zone’, ‘The satan and Homer Simpson’, the entire ‘Treehouse of Horror V’ (the end scene where the Simpsons’ bodies turn inside out actually freaked me out a bit), ‘Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace’ and ‘Homer3′. Why do I mention these preceding ‘Treehouse…

Boston Legal: Do Tell

“I pitched a fly rod right in my waders.” - Denny Crane

In case you were confused about David E. Kelley’s political leanings, the opening scene should have cleared it up for you. Let’s see…Bush lied, the military is intolerant of homosexuals, got it. Sounds like a left wing to me. The sc…

The five worst names in the history of television

My wife gave birth to our first son three months ago, so names have been on my intellect recently. A name says a lot about a person: strong names help kids to grow up to be television news personalities or American Ninjas (Wolf Blitzer and Joe Armstrong, respectively). Weak names, on the other hand,…
