Way to go, #thesimpsons - that was a long-overdue corrective to bring Apu back, in a clever & mis-directional way. It 'admitted' the show's bts ineffectual discussions & response, his treatment, the reticence (understandable & otherwise), the delayed revival - while welcoming the new voice actor.

WOW - that was a fantastic, howl-worthy ep of #thesimpsons - a double-episode that actually was FULLY worth the swollen timespan!! The plot & concept - 3 metaphoric stories AND the wraparound - were excellent, so I just want to call out fave deets - like these arcade game: @mattselman.bsky.social

...homage Price hinted at - Kirk as Ned (in "Cheeverton" (hilar) was priceless. The background art was very on-point 'Leroy Neiman' style. Homer in his deskspace was a gorgeous homage to Lemmon's desk in Wilder’s “The Apartment”. Marge’s bar-napkin portraits were very Covarrubias & Garretto...

...all the 'dark 70s' dramas hinted at by 'Herpico STD Clinic', The Wall Street Urinal, and Scorsese w 'Goodfellas' & ‘Bickle’s Pickles’ w its mohawked, Army-jacketed vendor. Loved that the prisoners freed included Bob, Scorpio, Jack Parsons (Keating) & Dwight (Buscemi)...

...that the swells included Costington and Duff, and the tribute wall to dead police had so many callbacks to dead-on-the-show characters. But my TOP choice was having a jazz combo version of The *Larry Davis Experience* playing, as clean-cut as they've ever appeared on the show!

Caught up with latest #simpsons damn was a noteable one, so here are the notes: @mikepriceinla.bsky.social @roboliver.bsky.social Great foreshadowing of Skinner's parenting in his critiques of H&M! 🎯 Skinner-isms: Room-temp Mr Pibb, Schumer collection, showing license after bumpercar bump, “Meet...

the Press” arcade game! That his ashes are in the sewing room is 1 of the few things we’ve ever learned about Skinner’s dad. H&M’s alternating advice was all-timer. Luigi’s Pizza Playland mallshop has a # of show’s classic arcade games, even the since-Ullman Space Mutants! ❤️ the ball-pool action...
