"The Simspons" Season 6

[Keepcoolbutcare]

Comes out on Tuesday.

From "Bart of Darkness" to "Who Shot Mr. Burns p.I" yet another reason why this show will always be my favorite half hour animated comedy of all time.

Some might say that season 5 was the season the Simpsons leapt the dorsal fin but I thought that occurred later. Sure season 5 was when Homer got completely wacky, but with David Mirkin as show runner (and one funny mo-fo in the commentaries) seasons 5 & 6 still brought some major funny.

i'm too lazy to look this up, but when did homer go back to college? i always thought that was the best year.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

Season 5, the episode was written by Conan.

If you haven't seen it, watch it with the commentary on. Uproarious.

[bluebottle]

man, i buy so many tv dvd sets...

i would assume things started getting really good in season 3, then started to get weak in season six.

3-6, that would be the golden age, right?

hmm...

i just looked at an episode guide (apparently i wan't too lazy)...

man, i can't believe how long that show's been on, and i still watch it... but i watch it now in that sort of, "please be good, please be- oh that wasn't bad! that's kinda funny!"

it was 14 when it first aired, and i'm 30 now.

that's like, my whole adult life.

awesome show.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

same here...

I had Seasons 1-8 on tape, most without commercials. Gave away/had stolen most ot them over the years. And since I'm sans TV, I just buy them when they come out.

3-6, that would be the golden age, right?

I'll agree with that.

Homer In Space is season 5 yeh? Love that episode.
We don't get the Simpsons in season form here so it's kinda hard to tell which is which. I always like Homer vs. New York but they won't show it here anymore.
What was the one where they bring back Prohibition? Awesome episode and it had my fave line ever

Marge- "Homer where are you going in the middle of the night

Homer "Oh Marge, I'm not going to lie to you"
The he just walks off.
Hahahaha

Just found this great book extract about The Simpsons. It's a great read but my favourite quote is:

"These are classic jokes so refracted through a cracked mirror they're almost Cubist."

Take a look here

They showed it last week on Sky One for the firsy time in ages, one of my favourites.

Which season was the Mary Poppins musical homage in? Thats my favourite episode ever.

Author of that book: Canadian

It's a fact.

[John-Locke]

What season is it when Homer works for the Super Villain and kills James Bond?

Oh and Bluebottle, did you really do a voice in the Simpsons or is Keepcool pulling my leg?

[thomasgaffney]

Season 8 there, Locke, on the Hank Scorpio episode where Homer helps Scorpio kill Bond. The best part was the ending when he ends up owning the Denver Broncos.

[John-Locke]

See they haven't totally lost it, some of the new ones were hilarious, which season did Homer end up with the pet Lobster Pinchy? that was one of the funniest, especially at the end after Homer had accidentally boiled him, and he was crying and enjoying the taste at the same time.

[thomasgaffney]

That was season 10. "Dad, can we have some?" "No, I must eat him myself! Pinchy would have wanted it that way....."

[bluebottle]

I'm on the Simpsons?

KC is probably pulling your leg.

thought maybe you played Pinchy...

[Keepcoolbutcare]

dave thomas voice of Rex Banner, Homer vs. the 18th amendment...geez.

[bluebottle]

yeah, but i'm not Dave Thomas.

I'd know if i were... or maybe i wouldn't... It's 2pm here... i wouldn't be that drunk yet.

No, I'd know who I was.

[thomasgaffney]

I'll admit that I don't really keep track of what guests do what voices, but I never knew that was Dave Thomas doing the voice of Rex Banner. "I'll get you Beer Baron" "No you won't!"

thought maybe you played Pinchy...

No, POOCHY. And then Krusty the Clown was all, FOR GODSAKES TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF....eh, I'm wearing that joke out.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

oh poop. Bluebottle, you're not Dave Thomas? I thought your avatar was one of those this is really me photos, ala Burl's former av.

My mistake.

[bluebottle]

We're both Canadian.

But I'm waaay busier than Dave Thomas.

err- wait... k, maybe not lately...

i need a life.

[Adam Balm]

My new av is one of those.

[bluebottle]

[Adam Balm]

OH GOD I CAN'T KEEP UP THE LIE!!!

It's not. This is really me:

NSFW

EDIT: Better?

[thomasgaffney]

Oh my..... Must poke out my eyes with a fork.....

[John-Locke]

Adam I suggest you remove that before Doc Bans your sorry ass, at least put it in the EFBR.

[DinoDeLaurentiis]

Holy crappa there are a so many jokes a to make here I donna even know where to start...

"Just another typical a day inna the AICN office..."

"Johnny-onna--the-Locke dinna know that Burl's dog would a be so friendly..."

"Anna from a that day on, BanthaFodder knew what a he wanted to do with a his a life, eh?"

"SO TELL A ME WHAT YOU THINK OF A MY FRIGGIN' A DOG NOW, YOU PUTZ!!"

"pwnzed!!"

...just a for starters.

[Adam Balm]

As I remarked to a friend today, sometimes I think the only reason I come to the Zone is for Dino. Beauty.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

Disc 1 alone gives us...

Maude Flanders "I was at bible camp. I was learning how to be more judgemental."

Ralph "What's a diorama?" & "I bent my wookie!"

Homer "Everything's too damn expensive these days, look at this bible I just got for $15 bucks. And talk about a preachy book, everyone's a sinner."

Homer "AAAHHH! It's the rapture, quick get Bart out of the house!"

Sideshow Bob "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! No truth handler you! BAH, I deride your truth handling abilities!"

Willie "Puritan pukes." & "There's no Scotchtoberfest...YA USED ME SKINNER, YA USED ME!"

and on the deleted scenes for the "Shinning", a scene you just knew they had to of filmed yet weren't allowed to air, Bart's skateboarding around the hotel, comes across the twins Sheri and Terri, who say in a really disturbing cadence...

"Your Daddy's gonna kill you."

[DinoDeLaurentiis]

NSFW

You know, onna the second (okay seventeenth) viewieng, iffa you go to a the main site anna read the caption, it's a not a the dog... it's a the KANGAROO!

Holy crappa!!! That's even a more brutal, eh? Anna then I thought uppa the 'nother joke, based onna the recent forum conversation... here goes:

"New to a the g a y subculture, Johnny-onna-the-Locke dinna realize until it was a too late that he wore a the red handkerchief inna the wrong pocket."

[John-Locke]

It felt like a dog at the time.

[Mimekiller]

I notice the cooler someone wants to sound, the earlier they claim that the simpsons stopped being funny.

[Constant Reader]

Homer In Space is season 5 yeh? Love that episode.

That's the one where Homer and Barney are competing to be astronauts, right? I love Homer's breakdown at the press conference, straight outta "Planet of the Apes." Classic.
