I decided to see if ChatGPT could make The Musk Who Fell To Earth into a somewhat coherent story that gives him a reason to be in Springfield and not appear out of nowhere just ‘cuz. Here’s what it came up with: Title: "Watts the Problem, Springfield?" [Scene 1: Simpsons' Living Room] Homer...

I actually have a copy of a table draft of The Boy Who Knew Too Much, and it was originally titled Hotel Homer. Eventually I’d like to post it online for others to read. Originally, Bart was supposed to muse to himself “I’ll never be a comedy writer” to himself, but that line obviously got cut...

It was originally supposed to be “I’m the first non-fictional character to travel through time” but they changed it, because they thought that was to obvious or cliché of a joke, from what I recall in the commentary. There were some theories on alt.tv.simpsons about what Brazilian person or...

Homer stabbing himself in the eye with a hotdog in The Twisted World Of Marge Simpson. It felt like an HD era joke.

I was thinking about how fart jokes are associated with the worst of modern Simpsons, like in The Diving Bell And The Butterball. But what about the classic era? There’s Homer at the chili cookout saying “less artsy more fartsy”, saying “pull my finger” to Hugh in Lisa’s Wedding, Bart saying...

Days of Future Future. Why people keep obsessing over bland but inoffensive episodes like Lisa Goes Gaga but forget over the top nonsense like this beats me. Homer dies and gets cloned hundreds of times. In the present day in a non-THOH episode, no less. Lisa became a necrophiliac. Bart had sex...

After that abomination known as Love Is A Many Strangled Thing, I think it’s for the best.

Homer The Vigilante is the 10th worst episode ever? Worse than Kidney Trouble? Worse than The Musk Who Fell to Earth? Worse than Days of Future Future? Um, OK.

Now that it’s November I guess it’s time to start reviewing the Christmas episodes. Honestly, this might be the most boring of the Xmas episodes, if not the worst outright. The only jokes I even remember are the awful list jokes like the one with the Frosty video game that went on way too long...

Itchy And Scratchy: The Movie, which was about Bart finally getting a punishment, which was not getting to see the titular film. Whacking Day was about Bart being expelled, and having to find another school. Brother From The Same Planet was mostly a Bart centered episode, although I guess you...

I actually prefer Lisa The Simpson to the New York episode, even though the concept of the “Simpsons gene” was polarizing. But yeah, end of the run for the classic era basically. At least season 9 of the Scully era is pretty decent. Season 10 is basically a different show.

The Scorpion’s Tale comes to mind, I’m surprised nobody mentioned it yet. It’s got to be one of the most underhated episodes of all time. It’s about old people having their eyeballs pop out. And they even have montage of eyes popping out. And they repeat the gag in the credits. And there’s also...

Where did they post them? I love reading early drafts.

Another Homer Gets a Job episode. Oh, goody.

Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.

If they’re going to remaster the animation to make old episodes look like the HD era, they should also “remaster” the audio to make them sound like the HD era. They need to have the cast re-record their lines. If I’m watching an episode with HD animation I expect Marge to sound like Julie Kavner...

Apu should be removed, or at least retroactively dub over every line he’s ever had in past episodes.

How is this a hot take? Lots of people hate on Lisa, especially after that episode you mentioned.

Family Guy one of the greatest cartoons? 🤣🤣🤣

Kind of. Yeah in hindsight he could have done a much better job, but there were other factors at play. There was a massive exodus of writers when he took over, largely due to Futurama. This exodus didn’t stop, more and more writers gradually left during Scully’s tenure. Plus, Matt Groening was...
