I can't wait for the next thrilling episode where Marge and Homer almost get a divorce. Oh the drama!
Smithers would be lame...it's already obvious. Why would Millhouse's dad be gay? Just because he's divorced and a loser? I'd rather they not do a storyline that's like "Oh well, i'm bored...let me be gay", like it's a lightswitch. I'd rather it be Patty, at least that's consistant. And i'd rather the Lenny&Karl thing be kept to a companionship that sometimes gets weird but is otherwise harmless.
If you like the Simpsons now, don't read the rest of this post.
Considering what it once was (better than South Park, Family Guy, heck everything shows which had opportunities, and took them, to draw from the incredibly innovative work of the Simpsons), watching the Simpsons now gives me an idea of what it would feel like to watch Ali fight Lennox Lewis. They could have actually made this idea very funny and intelligent and even enlightening back in the day, but it really is embarassing to watch them fall far short of the previously mentioned shows and their ilk now.

SNPP.com has this synopsis listed among its upcoming episodes.
The
probably means that
?ABF?? - Title Unknown
In case you didn't notice, Patty had always indeed leaned towards homosexuality at times. In this episode, Patty falls for a local female golf pro. Springfield legalizes gay marriage, and Homer becomes a minister by registering online. This may spell an outing for the love-stricken Patty. However, be on the lookout for a possible twist ending. This episode could be part of the FABF production line, or the next season's.

possible twist ending
another character instead of Patty may or may not be outed at the last minute, depending on how the writers feel at the time.

How about they just let the series die, its not funny anymore.
Seriously, whens the last time somebody here made more then a chuckle while watching a new episode of the simpsons?
They were great back in its hey day, and revolutionized american cartoons, but now its just really sad.

Ever think what the drink would have been called if Homer and Moe had teamed up?
The Simpsons isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think of humourous cartoons, but it's up there. Give credit where credits due, folks- just because The Simpons isn't as off colour as shows such as Family Guy and South Park doesn't make the show unfunny and terrible.

Like you said, The Simpsons will make fun of anything that provides humour. Hell, one episode they joked about Homer actually meeting God [not just a dream]. Then several seasons later you have Homer mathematically proving that God doesn't even exist.

"Remember, though: Patty and Selma got really upset when Jay Sherman said that McGyver's gay."
Remember though: The Simpsons has horrible continuity. They contradict themselves all the time. This season, Milhouse accidentally kissed Homer and said "My first kiss!" MILHOUSE HAD A FREAKIN' GIRLFRIEND AND THEY KISSED IN THE TREEHOUSE 50 TIMES! It was the plot of a whole episode! I swear, all of the good writers are gone, and none of the ones there now have watched any episodes before season 9.

I love it when they blatantly attempt to explain why something happened despite stuff that happened in the past. Like finding a crayon in Homer's brain.
"But I've had hundreds of head x-rays, how come they've never seen it before"
(out of nowhere Dr Hibbert appears)
"Oh I'll fill that one. See whenever I hold the x-ray, my thumb must've blocked out the crayon everytime... I'll let myself out now..."

"REMEMBER THOUGH: My post had specific context. Relative to the whole Patty/McGyver thing. And nothing to do with continuity or lack thereof."
Do you think these writers actually care about these characters? Look what they did to Principal Skinner, just for a cheap laugh. Armin Tamzarian? Ugh. MY point is that the writers have selective memory, and will ignore or explain away character traits as they see fit. Do you think they wouldn't make Patty gay because of ONE LINE in an episode? You're giving the writers WAY too much credit.

ONCE AGAIN, "My post had... nothing to do with continuity.." - It was merely a refute of Omnigamer, alluding to one instance, that did not intend to suggest that therefore Patty could not be gay. Again, *specific context*. An argument inside another with no implications on the greater scheme.Mega Man's Electric Sheep said:
