I noticed them when I went to see how much the X-Files DVDs were going to cost. $119 a season. Now that's too much

[in the Arena]

[rockfish59]

i love the 'halloween specials' and the one with the 'toaster time machine'!
of course c. monty burns is THE MAN!

'i'm troy mc clure'!

You know, I have only vomited twice in the past 45 years; this story almost made me reach three.

This is the most moronic article I've ever read and it would take too long to refute the author's assertions point-by-point with examples from the episodes (all of which I've seen countless times).

[francisandbeans]

Sorry

D'oh!

[francisandbeans]

Funny you should show up...I WAs just showing a co-worker your freeper home page to prove that everyone has a double.

[rockfish59]

DOH!!
lol!

I love Homer....but I won't say that he is this or that because he is nothing but paper cuttouts and a varying array of different writers.

Mr. Hill, is your honor being impugned here?

[francisandbeans]

Homer has only skipped a half day of church more then the ever holy Ned Flanders.

Says something about the man.

Regardless if he catches up on sleep there.

I am probably the biggest Simpsons fan on FreeRepublic, and i think this is the worst article i have ever read about The Simpsons.

This one is probably the best I have ever read...

Homer Never Nods
The Importance of The Simpsons

[gridlock]

All parents can learn from Homer's ability to control his kids without yelling or using bribery.

We can all learn to strangle our children when the tick us off!

Talk about reading too much into an entertainment program!

[rockfish59]

are you apu's cousin?

Actually, the Simpsons are the only sitcom family who go to church every Sunday.

The Sunday episode where Homer is listening to a football game on a walkman during the service. His team kicks the winning field goal just as the prayer is ending: "IT'S GOOD! IT'S GOOD!"

The Sunday episode where Bart slips "In-a-god-da-da-vida" in the hynmal is hilarious.

The Sunday picnic episode:
BART: "Come on dad, we're playing capture the flag."
HOMER: "Dad's done for the day. Why don't you go capture me some potato salad."

The Sunday episode where Rev Lovejoy is dragging out the sermon. Homer says, "Don't make me come up there!"

Great stuff!

[rockfish59]

so when did you get off gilligan's island?

[Xenalyte]

Whoa, that's good Squishy!

Many thanks for the excellent read!

Favorite Homer parenting quote:

"Lisa, just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand".

$119 a season for X-Files? Well, I never like that show, anyhow. Ally McBeal, on the other hand, is okay, and South Park is right up there with The Simpsons.

Homer: What's the meaning of life?

God: I can't tell you that until you die.

Homer: OOH! I have to wait that long?

God: You can't wait six months?

The greatest episode was the one with Frank [Grimy] Grimes. That should be required viewing at every college graduation.
