1991: Simpsons Videogame debuts

Posted on March 4, 2022 by Steve

Konami caught up to all The Simpsons madness with a side-scrolling cabinet for the arcades. By the time this came out, the show was still going pretty strong for Fox but I think the wave of knock-off T shirts had ended. … Continue reading →

1997: The Simpsons introduce Poochie as a poke at toxic fans

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Steve

A favorite episodes of the show which I still quote to this day, especially with burning hatred of the executive caste in all professions; they’re slowly killing civilization and I’m sure their ancestors destroyed every ancient empire with their idiocy. … Continue reading →

2001: The Simpsons Season One on DVD debuts!

Posted on September 20, 2021 by Steve

I clearly remember buying this during my lunch hour from a nearby Best Buy, just not the exact day other than it probably was a Tuesday when all new media used to arrive. A DVD player had joined my household … Continue reading →

My side hustle has been outed!

Posted on September 17, 2021 by Steve

Well at least would be a more modern-looking Pope and the High-Tops were already in my possession, no need for Catholics worldwide to pass the collection plate for me.

RIP Jackie Mason

Posted on July 24, 2021 by Steve

The majority of people younger than Boomers know him as Krusty’s rabbi father, a role he returned to play about a dozen times. Pretty good for a recurring guest character. He was also Navin’s brief employer in The Jerk, until the … Continue reading →

What Moe Szyslak would look like if he were “real”

Posted on July 1, 2021 by Steve

Click on the picture if you want to see a larger, scarier, up-close view. I do admit, it’s less frightening than Homer’s. You can also notice the greater resemblance to Moe’s original source, comedian/writer Rich Hall from Fridays, SNL, Not Necessarily … Continue reading →

The Simpsons nailed it beyond my expectations

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Steve

You know you’re doing something right/well when it really, really pisses off the object of ridicule. Sure, Morrissey is low-hanging fruit for my generation (Gen X) and he probably isn’t too well known by Mills and Gen Z, but he … Continue reading →

RIP Marc Wilmore (belated)

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Steve

Damned Twitter! Found out through fellow Producer Mike Reiss that Marc died last week from CV-19. Life is unfair all to often since Orange Foolius and his legions remain free and not in prison where they belong while a person … Continue reading →

New shirt for the puppets

Posted on January 31, 2021 by Steve

I guess we had to wait over a generation to forget Bar’s ‘underachiever and proud of it’ joke  to enjoy how smart Lisa is. I scored this at Old Navy while getting emergency fat-guy jeans for myself. Would’ve been nice … Continue reading →

RIP Cloris Leachman

Posted on January 30, 2021 by Steve

Another stalwart of Mel Brooks’ comedies but also a heavy hitter when it came to drama since Cloris won an Oscar® for The Last Picture Show, a movie keep trying to see but put off. TCM’s 30 Days of Ocsars is coming up, … Continue reading →

Quick, get McBain on the line!

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Steve

While en route to Richland for a football game, this gravel truck was spotted. Screw Qanon, the real conspiracy is Senator Mendoza running an illegal drug-smuggling operation for years! OK, it’s just goofiness since I’ve been watching The Simpsons on Disney+ … Continue reading →

Disney+ now allows The Simpsons to be viewed correctly!

Posted on August 10, 2020 by Steve

Being able to watch The Simpsons without needing a DVD player and/or FX was a big incentive to subscribing to Disney+. However, the streaming playback sucked because they continued follow FX’s policy of zooming in on the first 22 seasons to avoid … Continue reading →

Another hack whining about The Simpsons

Posted on December 17, 2019 by Steve

Hard to believe a Christmas Special starring the characters from the interstitials on The Tracy Ullman show would lead to a 30-year run on network TV in America. Well, years later James L. Brooks and Matt Groening would reveal how the … Continue reading →

1999: Mission Hill debuted today on the (now CW) WB network

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Steve

A big thank you to Bill Oakley’s Twitter feed to remind us all on this momentous date in adult-orient animation history (and progress!). There’s a fantastic, long piece regarding Mission Hill on Polygon from 2017 here. It goes into the level … Continue reading →

Feel the radioactive slapshot of the Isotopes!

Posted on August 18, 2019 by Steve

Thanks again to Geeky Jerseys, my Simpsons-based Springfield Isotopes was customized and made a reality. I think the maker has done it before but this time I was on top of it! The hardest part was picking a name and … Continue reading →
