>>Back when Smithers was Black.
Oh no. Long before season 1.
I’m just 3 years away from turning 40.
Bart was 10 when the show started too. He's just stayed 10 since then.
Its funny.
If have never seen the show, how do you know you wouldn’t like it?
or course I remember, unfortunately. but though it was closer to mid eighties. But everything’s a blur after my third long term relationship..
“You can change any man with gentle nagging’.— Marge Simpson.
They updated it to Homer marrying Marge in the 90’s, while he was in a grunge band.
I keep meaning to check it out. It’s THAT old?
At least there is some good news in the world today.
I say that about most of what is on TV.
But the writing on the Simpsons is usually pretty sharp and the themes are relevant in terms of popular culture.
It is a nice diversion for 1/2 an hour.
Not at all..
I quit when little Lisa the noble leftist got sooooo many episodes .
“I have noticed that it now goes at too fast a pace to really keep up with.”
No, you just have a bad case of OLD.
>>Oh no. Long before season 1.<<
I thought he was black on the Ullman show as well, but I can’t find any episodes with him on YT
I did like how the Simpsons’ Movie slammed the EPA.
Russ Cargill head of EPA played by long time guest voice Albert Brooks. “Pick from folder a b c d or e President Schwartzeneger”
EPA Soldier: I’m afraid we lost them, sir.
Cargill: Damn it! Well, then you find ‘em, and you get ‘em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here’s how I want them arranged: tough, soft, tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft, tough, soft!
[pause]
Soldier: Sir, I’m afraid you’ve gone mad with power.
Cargill: Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring, no one listens to you.
If you're wondering how he eats and drinks and other science facts, then you should say to yourself, "it's just a show", and you should pretty much just relax.
I wasn’t going to be a downer here, but that is exactly the way I saw it. It was very creative, and funny when they slammed everyone. A few years ago I began to notice conservative ideas were always lampooned, and liberalism was glorified. I started paying closer attention for a few more episodes, and then took it out of the recording que, and stopped watching.
