I am not an easy man to work for. While directing the Frogurt scene, I reduced more than one message board poster to tears. Did I expect too much from GAF members? The review, "Posts Enjoyed By All" speaks for itself.
Wikipedia says the staff on The Simpsons knew about the seriousness of the ilness. I think we can sayMarcia Wallace has died.
Oh dear. I was going to make that reference to First Blood where Bart wondered what it would be like if he was a drifter, but in light of this, I won't play anything funny.Marcia Wallace has died.
As was pointed out in the RIP Marcia Wallace thread, Edna is NOT the mystery character that's going to die.
I was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace. She was beloved by all at "The Simpsons" and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character.
Earlier we had discussed a potential storyline in which a character passed away. This was not Marcia's Edna Krabappel. Marcia's passing is unrelated and again, a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Marcia Wallace has died.
It's cool to reach 1,000 episodes or whatever we're at; but truthfully, I haven't watched the show regularly in about 15 years
I did see the episode where it was in the '90s, and Homer fronts this Nirvana-type band. God, those were awful. I hope someone got fired over that.
I don't know why Fox keeps renewing it. The jokes aren't good, the storylines are a mess and episodes are forgettable. I think the staff and co-creators agree. But the money keeps rolling in and Fox says we're better than ever, so what do you do?
Sad news about Marcia Wallace. I watched this video earlier and you can tell just how old she is in the later seasons.

Sounds totally different from about 40 seconds onwards to the voice she used in the show's heyday. Also, all of the later scenes in that video are fucking terrible.
Has this been posted before? http://www.supajam.com/news/story/S...ch-Breaking-Bad-instead#.Uk4DQ2kHpLJ.facebook It's an interview with Groening from earlier this month in which he practically admits that the show is garbage and has been for a long time. An interesting read.
Some choice exerpts
KBBL is actually the name of the radio station?
Ah, it's the Elephant Song!
Does anyone have a link to that expansive essay about the downfall of The Simpsons, with all the stuff about writers and other talent moving on to other parts of the business?
I'm pretty certain that story is fake (the Matt Groening one, obviously). If that was the case, then why isn't it reported elsewhere?Sad news about Marcia Wallace. I watched this video earlier and you can tell just how old she is in the later seasons.

The last one is wrong. It is a third Springfield. They already moved the town in Trash of the Titans.
"...and that's what really happened."
Actually, there's an episode called "Loan-a-Lisa" in Season 22."I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you! Especially those of you in the jury!"
There's an episode called "Mona Leaves-a". Along with "Moaning Lisa" in Season 1 and "Moe'N'a Lisa" in Season 18, how many puns on "Mona Lisa" can they make? They did this too with "Million Dollar Abie" in Season 17 and "Million Dollar Maybe" in Season 21.
Does anyone else find it suspicious that Sky 1 is showing 3 Edna Krabappel focused episodes in a row, today? I'm not really the one who's a fan of exploiting someone's death and all that, you know.
