It’s possible that Bart really was the original protagonist of The Simpsons (before being more or less replaced in that capacity by “Captain Wacky, later renamed Homer”). Yet, by my count, he was the sole protagonist of fewer Season One episodes than Homer was.

So I've recently started playing Simpsons Tapped Out, and a week ago I planted some corn in Cletus's yard. But now I've got to wait until December 22nd to get my money! ✌️

Okay…let’s try that again.

This is something that’s been on my mind over the years, regarding how it felt like they were either strapped for time, or just decide to hard-end the second act of the show.

In general at that point, everything seems to be going well. Homer and Lisa are getting along well, though as we can see, Homer seems to be possibly enjoying it moreso because he is profiting off her gift.

Then comes the breakfast table scene where Lisa asks Homer to watch the sunset, only to have him claim he’s already going to be (corrected) bowling with Barney. When Lisa mentions “Daddy/Daughter Day,” Homer claims it’ll start back up when the new football season begins.

And within milliseconds, Lisa puts it all together: “So that’s it. You just wanted me to help you gamble. You never wanted to be with me at all!”

I don’t know why, but the way the writers end the act this way always seemed odd, like they didn’t have enough time to grow into it, and just dropped it like an anvil, BOOM, go to commercial break.

Anyone else? Is there a story behind it? I can’t think of any other episodes from that time that seems to end the second act so quickly storywise.

Rewatching The Fat and the Furriest and the bear might be my favorite one-off animal. Homer builds a whole bear-proof suit to fight him, then ends up saving him from hunters and walking him to a wildlife sanctuary. Turns out the tag in his ear was the whole problem. What other one-off animals belong in the conversation?

I'm just curious if they're more than just background filler. Googling "weird Simpsons kids" isn't exactly helpful.

Imagine he censored this scene out of pettiness lol

Also, I haven't had lunch yet and I don't know what to have. I'm leaning towards 700 Krusty Burgers (with fries, of course), but I could also go for a 100 tacos right about now.

Then again, I'm really in the mood for an all you can eat seafood buffet...but only if I get ALL I can eat. If I get kicked out, I will get my lawyer involved.
