The way the write her and she's animated in the new opening, I think she's been a robot for about 10 seasons now.

I still never understood the complaint about Marge in the intro. So what if her hair doesn't move - it shouldn't. There's a difference between a lively animation and just spastic animation.

It's an easy nit to pick... because, why should we bother looking at the rest of the HD opening or the episodes themselves, when we can just point out the one inferior comparison that's easy to rake over the coals?

They should be complaining the stuff after Marge - the brow baby that was once a one-off joke that became a recurring character.

Gerald's been in a bunch of episodes - but only three of those were during the Classic era. I rather liked his usage during The Longest Daycare.

I don't think it's the lack of hair animation. She keeps the same expression the entire time from looking at the counter to turning her head to the bag. In the original she had a shocked face followed by relief and the hand on her chest.

Yeah, but the intro feels like it's ringing the joke too much

Because she didn't look like a robot in the classic intro. The only thing moving is her head in the new one.

I was surprised when they didn't.

I'll drive.
"Marge, what were your gambling losses last year?"
"Seven hundred dollars!"
The way Marge just yells that at Homer without any hesitation from off screen just cracks me up.
Haha, yep. She just knows it right away.

I wonder why they never made Lester and Eliza into a thing.
Damn, you took me back with this one. I completely forgot what episode this is from. I need to start to watch some Simpsons again, but don't know where to go. If someone would be so kind to hit a brother with a PM.
Withhold the lettuce just slays me.

"Oh Lord, may your loving hand guide Homer to the mattress, square and true."
And that man's name was...
I forget. But the point is...
I forget that, too.
Was going to say that. It's hilarious.

Homer's "ugh" as he bounces back inside ALWAYS cracks me up. I'm laughing right now just imagining it. That + Flanders just accepting it and bouncing back inside make this one of my favorite moments in the series.

So the only positive "future" Bart has was Itchy and Scratchy the Movie right?

He seemed pretty happy in Lisa's Wedding, too. I mean, he got to demolish buildings and get paid for it.
They worked at keeping that in canon with the Supreme Court justice continuity by referencing he'd be going into law school.
But yeah, all of the future episodes since show him winding up as a spectacular failure.
Another reason to hate the other future episodes.
It probably has been asked but I think I missed it. What do you guys think is the last "good" season. Not great, not amazing, but a lot of generally good episodes before it all went to shit.
I'd go with Season 12 and part of 13.

Lisa received the Nobel Peace Prize. Bart was just impaled on it when she kicked him on top of it.
Season 11 was largely garbage and the show lost its Classic Era consistency mystique when Scully took over in Season 9. That's always been the transition for me.

I don't get it.
It's a reference to when the 60s died it's said by one of these 2 guys. I can't remember which one. In the season 10 episode, D'oh In The Wind.

Impaled on her Nobel Peace Prize. How ironic.

I was at a beer tasting this weekend and there is a Pennsylvania brewer that makes Purple Moneky Dishwasher beer. Needless to say, I was thrilled.

Season 9 is the last season where I enjoy just about every episode in it (even Principal and the Pauper has its moments). Season 10 is about halfsies and after that the ratio gets worse and worse. I have a friend who would say it was solid through season 13 or so but agrees it hit a slump, we just don't agree on where.
So I just got the script for this
It's pretty bizarre, but in a good way. For those who don't know, it's a play set after an apocalyptic scenario in which humanity has lost all electricity, and it starts out with a group of survivors trying to remember what happens in the Cape Feare episode. Then it flashes forward to seven years later where they're a theatre troupe that performs episodes as plays (complete with opening credits and commercials), before flashing 75 years into the future where you see The Simpsons done as like a modern Greek tragedy. Bart is like a Jesus figure, Mr. Burns is Satan and Itchy and Scratchy are his minions.
Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis is doing it this Spring and I'm planning on seeing it there, should be good times.

I'm not a fan of the episode but I love the way Marge says "she's such a butthole" in the first Judge Harm ep (Season 13's The Parent Rap).
Julie completely owns that line.

Watching the Lemon of Troy episode, I always loved this episode as a child, because it made me wish I went on such a journey with a group of friends to find something.
