Tonight's "Simpsons" episode

Posted on 03/10/2002 4:15:49 PM PST by G-dzilla

Tonight's episode--I think it's new--has Bart and Homer playing "Scrabbleship." Lisa comments on the "goofy" game and Homer says (paraphrasing here) "You just don't care about showing respect for those who just gave their lives for their country." Coming on the heels of Operation Anaconda -- and knowing how Groenig (phonetic spelling) and company get these episodes in the hopper as quickly as they do -- I thought it was in typical bad taste. But maybe it's just me.

Doesn't it take about a full year to get an episode ready for airing?

Yep. At least. But then again, the complainer cannot even use the "o" in Godzilla, so I guess it doesn't take much to offend...

LOL! The next part of the scene, Homer salutes the battleship "Semper Fi." That idiot is great for laughs.

Some shows are fast others are slow. I remember South Park was spoofing the Florida voting fiasco 2 weeks after it happened and had an anti-Ossama episode in mere weeks after 9-11. The Simpsons, I believe, take several months due to the animation that goes into it.

It's just you. Some people spend all their time looking to be offended by others. The left has been doing it for 30 years, but the right is starting to get in on the action.

Actually, it would be best to spend that time thumping you in the head for making that sarcastic remark.

One has not lived until they have watched the Simpsons. Without it, you may as well be dead.

At A&M, does watching The Simpsons fulfil the undergraduate English requirement?
