T-minus One Month 'Til New Simpsons Episodes


The new season of The Simpsons starts one month from today on September 27th! For a preview of the new season check out my Simpsons Season 21 Preview.

I finally finished Season 12 with the commentary, solid as usual... a lot of good behind the scenes stories, along with the third time on a dvd commentary that Matt Groening told a story about how the kid he went to grade school with that was the inspiration for Nelson sold kids a page out of their permanent record for a quarter after being sent to the principals office an hour every day.

The link on the bottom of the page might not be that noticeable, so in case you haven't seen it, you can follow me on Twitter for Simpsons news and updates on the site: http://twitter.com/thesimpsonsblog.

Alchohol and Night Swimming: A Winning Combination

So I'm one and a half disks into season 12 and very excited. I forgot how good Treehouse of Horror 11 was. Also I'm very excited that Matt Groening did more commentaries this season, he only did two on season 11 and it looks like he's on at least a half dozen on this one. Joe Mantegna sits in on an audio commentary and it feels like more of the main voice actors did commentaries this time around. I also forgot how the episodes in syndication wind up cutting a few things out, so it's fun to see a scene/joke that you haven't seen since it first aired.

    Simpsons Quote of the Day


    Hobo: “And thanks to that little girl, today you can find apples in everything that's good: Apple wine, apple whiskey, apple schnapps, apple martinis, uh, Snapple with vodka in it, apple nail polish remover ...”

    Lisa: “Don't forget apple sauce.”

    Hobo: “Yeah ... I suppose you could grind some pills into it.”
