    Underdunk vs. Onderdonk

    This kind of stuff is why I love this show. Someone misinterprets the pronunciation of a word, no one notices, and it takes the writer watching a gameshow 30 years later to get it corrected. I love it.

    Was The Simpsons, at its peak, the greatest show you've ever seen?

    Unquestionably. I've watched a lot of shows in my life that I love, but nothing has ever come close to classic Simpsons (3-8 at least), and I doubt it ever will.

    Background Details You Just Noticed

    I posted this as its own thread a few months ago, but it fits in here. In "A Milhouse Divided" there's a flashback to "I Married Marge". They actually edited the shot of Shotgun Pete's Wedding Chapel to add in Plato's Republic Casino from "Old Money", as both are presented as "just over the...

    The Simpsons: Tapped Out (iOS/Android game)

    Most of the main buildings are unlocked through the regular storyline/levels, which is all free to play. There's also an event running nearly every week of the year where you can unlock prizes just from playing. A lot of the cool stuff is, though, only available with the premium currency...

    In The Simpsons Fan Community, What Have You Acheived That You're Proud Of?

    Wrote a bunch of the Simpsons-related Wikipedia articles back in the day, alongside the great @McClure and @Henrik P amongst others. Most of which still seems to be up, although probably some updates needed!

    The Simpsons: Tapped Out (iOS/Android game)

    Seems to be an issue with iOS from what I can see. No issues for me on Android. One thing I've read says try loading the app through the App Store, not your icon. No idea if that'll work. Seems like EA is aware though.

    When and how did “The Principal and the Pauper” become the de facto “breaking point”?

    Not an answer to the main question but something that has annoyed me for a while with it is that's it's basically the same premise as "Lisa the Iconoclast". Which was just a much better way of doing it.

    Extremely minor thing I've never noticed before

    So I was watching "A Milhouse Divided" the other day and noticed in the flashback to "I Married Marge" they actually edited the shot of Shotgun Pete's Wedding Chapel to add in Plato's Republic Casino from "Old Money". As both are presented as "just over the state line". I have never noticed this...

    Why does everyone hate season 9 & 10 so much ?

    I have no issue with season 9 really but season 10, while still funny, is a clear step down. Both are National Film Registry-standard compared to the two decades+ to come though.

    Vulture article on The Simpsons being good again

    The only other season 33 or 34 episode I have seen is "The King of Nice". Which was not only terrible but felt so odd it was like it was created in a different universe. If I stumble upon one on TV, I'll give it a go if I have nothing else to do, but I have zero interest in specifically...

    Vulture article on The Simpsons being good again

    I feel like someone writes an article like this every year. I would, truly, love to believe it but whenever I watch a new episode it's still just absolutely terrible in my view. I watched "Bart the Cool Kid" and it was abysmal. I'm glad people like them though.

    Map of Springfield

    The file is too big to upload apparently, but this is what I've been able to make for anyone interested. There's a lot of stuff I want to add but don't have yet as it hasn't been available since I've been playing (or at least since I've been able to afford to it) and the area in the bottom left...

    Which one is worse: Kill the Alligator and Run or The Frying Game

    I remember very clearly watching KTAAR for the first time as a kid and thinking it was absolutely terrible.

    Map of Springfield

    Yeah I was referring to an official history of the show's creation and production.

    Map of Springfield

    So I've decided to waste the next stage of my life creating as accurate a representation of a classic era Springfield as I can within the confines of Tapped Out. This is obviously made difficult by the fact that the town's geography changes even within the same episode, other than some...

    Which episode works best as a de-facto series final?

    Of these, "Lisa The Simpson" though I'd have rearranged season 8, bringing it in as the third from last episode. I'd have then ended with a double bill of "Homer's Enemy" (completely deconstructing the premise and central character with the penultimate line literally being Homer telling Marge to...

    Ideas for Simpsons merchandise that haven't been done yet

    I find it weird that there's no 'Official History' type book on the show's creation and production etc. Nancy Cartwright and Mike Reiss being the only people to have written a book covering their work on the show is also strange. And it's disappointing the Lego sets stopped after the...

    When do you think the series will end?

    I think fundamentally while at some point the show will end in its current technical iteration (I think they'll go to 1000 at this point at least), the franchise, the characters etc. will never end. Even if it wasn't owned by Disney this would always be the case, but especially so now that it...

    The Simpsons Hit & Run Soundtrack (now released on Apple music and Spotify)

    "Petty Theft Homer" is about as perfect a piece of Simpsons video game music as you could make.

    How would Phil Hartman’s characters have fared in the modern era?

    Yeah the fact that Phil would've voiced Zapp Brannigan (and presumably would've been part of the main cast) is an interesting aspect to this concept. He likely still would've voiced Hutz and McClure, but would presumably have had to prioritize Futurama. He was also starting to get more...
