The Simpsons is certainly not the same as it was when it first aired. It's sort of Post-Simpsons now, it's closer to Family Guy than the original first season, which was almost a little too innocent and dramatic. There's such large difference that it upsets a lot of people who expect the show to have remained consistant in its style of writing.
But... I stand by my belief that if the show had progressed backwards, stylistically, then people would still be complaining: "What happened? The show used to be edgy and irreverent, now it's a sappy family show with Bart spouting constant catchphrases like a moron. I want to shoot the writers!"

AGA's mother introduced me to all sorts of adventures, and games.

Y'know, back in humanity's golden age people complained a lot less, and they enjoyed their TV shows from start to finish. We, the viewers, have jumped the shark by latching on to the "everything jumps the shark" mentality.
I think it's sort of ridiculous. I've seen people trying to figure out at what point Strong Bad emails started declining in quality..... WTF?

Ah. Anyway, after Sunday's episode I took a look in alt.tv.simpsons, and somehow I don't think I saw any bad reviews. That's pretty damn rare these days.
Usually it takes about 2 years for an episode to become accepted, right?

Uh.... okay.
Anyone see the recent Christmas episode? I liked it. Long live teh Simpsons.

How would a spell check catch the word "Money"?

They make wonderful games, but does anyone else think the whole anonymity thing is pretensious in a way?

This is good, but he's probably no less of a threat now that he's captured than when he was sitting in a hole. Saddam never operated like Osama. He was a dictator, not a terrorist conspirator. He probably has more power now that he's in the public eye.

The first name of Neil creates a dual nature for, on the one hand, you desire change and varied experiences in order to avoid monotony, and yet you are attuned to system, order, and attention to detail. You can be very analytical, exacting, and patient in your undertakings until your interest is exhausted, at which time you switch to something else even though it means leaving your undertakings unfinished.


That is so frickin' dead on.

earlwood: "Mind Over Matters" by Mike Nelson? I love that book!!

As for this zombie book, I'm thinking of getting it for a friend. I read some of it today at the bookstore, and it was really more creepy than funny. I think my friend would like it. Too bad I don't have any money.

This kid could be the new Ghyslain...

I've also seen the MST3k episode, and it's one of my favorites.
One of my favorite riffs is when Pumaman's inspiring themesong is playing and Crow sings along: "WHEN YOU WANT THE FLAVOR OF BACON IN A DIP."

Main character is a suicide hotline operator. Make that a WACKY suicide hotline operator. Santa Claus calls him up with a bad case of winter depression, and it becomes the main character's mission to travel to the North Pole and stop Santa from ODing on candy canes.
How about that? Too tasteless?  :

Are you the Gatekeeper?

Then drop out.

Oh man. That is very weird. And cute. But mostly weird.

I dunno, not everyone has the same midi card. For instance, for all you know bass glockenspiel might sound GOOD on my computer.

Yes, Moxie tastes bad. But for some reason it's addictive.

I too got nothing. Never got around to starting anything.

Mine's the Oingo Boingo mascot logo thingy. Good band.

Oh, I used to have Pee Wee Herman for my avatar. I don't know why.
