So You’ve Ruined Your Life
I’ve written before about the floating timeline and the problem with recent flashback episodes for The Simpsons. Last night, we had another rather confusing flashback that contradicted just about everything that had been previously established. Okay, maybe it wasn’t THAT … Continue reading →
Springfield, Springfield, It’s a Hell of a Town

Everyone Who Counts Loves Ned Flanders
I’ve been looking at TV Tropes, and I’ve noticed several mentions of how Ned Flanders has changed over the many seasons of The Simpsons, to the extent that they use the term “Flanderization” for a character’s traits being vastly exaggerated … Continue reading →

Welcome to the Crossover of Tomorrow!
When I did a post a few days ago on a Disney Afternoon crossover that involved characters who presumably don’t exist in the same continuity, I had forgotten that a Simpsons/Futurama crossover was being aired on Sunday. The Simpsons has … Continue reading →

We’re Just Technologically Impaired
After Alapalooza, “Weird Al” Yankovic didn’t put out another album until 1996, although in the interim his label released a boxed set. It was all material from previous albums aside from the demo version of “My Bologna” and a new … Continue reading →
