Podcast Episode 15: Springfield’s Favorite Family

Believe it or not, there was a time before The Simpsons, when nothing happened of any historical relevance. Then the wacky yellow family we all know and love entered the scene, and nothing would (or will) ever be the same. The Season 11 DVD collection was just released last week, so Johnny M, Havoc and I discuss our favorite episodes and 20 years of the show in general. Here are some screaming yellow honkers...I mean, highlights:

And Then Homer Said, “Let There Be Jebus”
We discuss the hits, misses and milestones of Season 11, including the first utterance of “Jebus” in the world of The Simpsons.

“I’m Bart Simpson, Who the Hell Are You?”
Twenty years of Springfield hijinks. Where did the time go? We chat about the early days when The Simpsons either brought families together or tore them apart.

“Women and Seamen Don’t Mix”
Waylon Smithers. Patty Bouvier. Ralph Wiggum. Who are our gay role models in Springfield and what makes them tick?

Thanks for listening!
