Fox Threatened To Sue Fox!

Adam — Fri, 24 Oct 2003 08:05:26 +0000

Matt Groening spoke to Terry Gross on her radio show “Fresh Air” this morning and discussed a Fox News lawsuit. In the Season 14 episode “Mr. Spritz Goes To Washington”, a Fox News parody was aired, including use of the news crawl. “Fox fought against it and said they would sue the show and we called their bluff cause we didn’t think Rupert Murdoch would pay Fox to sue itself.” said Groening. “We got away with it but now Fox has a new rule that we can’t do those little fake news crawls along the bottom of the screen, in a cartoon, because it might confuse the viewers into thinking it’s real news” How insulting! Reported by DallasNews.com and transcribed by myself.

Rock And Roll Fantasy

Adam — Wed, 16 Jul 2003 10:00:00 +0000

Now in its third year, David Fishof’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is already muscling its way into pop culture, thanks to a hilarious recent episode of “The Simpsons” in which Homer signs up.In the episode, Mick Jagger inducts participants into the habitat’s free-for-all lifestyle. “There are only two rules here,” Jagger’s animated figure decrees. “Rule Number One: THERE ARE NO RULES! Rule Number Two: No outside food.” But the actual event is organized somewhat differently than the media has portrayed it. For all of you who saw how Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp was played out in the episode “How I Spent My Strummer Vacation,” and thought it would be fun, you can read about one man’s experience at the real fantasy camp at Lawrence.com.

O Canada. It’s The Bart Of War

Adam — Wed, 21 May 2003 15:40:54 +0000

God Bless Canada, er America, for The Simpsons. TV’s longest-running and most fearless sitcom signed off for another season Sunday with a jaw-dropping finale. In the first of a double-episode ender, best friends Bart and Milhouse ended up battling on a baseball field where the boys have gathered to sing the national anthem. To stop the fisticuffs spilling into the stands, they all decide to sing a “peace anthem,” not the stirring war chant that is the U.S.’s Star Spangled Banner. O Canada was sung, and — naturally — all fighting stopped. “Well Bart, we’ve learned that war is not the answer,” said Milhouse. “Except to all of America’s problems,” said Bart. End of episode. Whoa! If this had been a Canadian show there’d be sanctions. Our softwood lumber would be banned. Our helicopters would be mocked. How did The Simpsons get away with this much cheek? Read More >>>

Season 14 Concludes Tonight

Adam — Sun, 18 May 2003 14:17:15 +0000

Season 14, arguably one of the better seasons in The Simpsons’ recent years ends tonight with a double serving of new episodes. Bart Of War airs first at 8pm. “After his latest bout of mischief results in another encounter with the Springfield police department, Marge and Homer elect to place Bart into a program of supervised afternoon activities in the form of a quasi- Native American tribe dubbed “The Pre-Teen Braves.” But tribal war ensues when his clan is forced into a game of community service one-upsmanship with Milhouse’s opposing group of do-gooders: “The Calvary Kids.”

Moe Baby Blues kicks off at 8:30. “When the entire town shows up at the Springfield Botanical Gardens to watch the blooming of the Sumatran Century Flower, there is room for everyone but Moe. The event causes a panic and during the ensuing traffic jam Maggie is thrown from the Simpsons’ car into the arms of a suicidal Moe – who is dubbed a hero by the city. Maggie accepts him unconditionally as her new babysitter and surrogate father, while Moe’s new reason to live starts to turn into an obsession that proves useful when Maggie gets in the middle of a mafia gang war between Fat Tony and Don Castellaneta.” Lets hope we leave the season with a good impression. Episodes can be reviewed at the No Homers Club following their airing.

Jackson Browne Animated

Adam — Sat, 10 May 2003 06:35:25 +0000

“Jackson Browne becomes a badly drawn boy this Sunday when he debuts as a character on The Simpsons. In the episode ‘Brake My Wife, Please‘ Homers loses his drivers licence and discovers the joys of walking. As he walks around the neighborhood he meets people he didn’t know lived in the area including Jackson Browne and actor Steve Buscemi. However, with Homer grounded, Marge is needed for additional driving duties but the stress causes her to lose concentration and she runs over him. Marge then has even more duties on top of playing ‘mum’s taxi’ she also now has to nurse Homer back to health.” Thanks to Undercover Music News for this description. You can review this episode at its conclusion on Sunday at the No Homers Club.
