Well I think it's been pretty obvious at this point. Despite no official announcement before today, I am retiring this blog and my 'reviews' in general. Don't get me wrong, I still think Zombie Simpsons is a below average show that pumps out crappy episodes like a trailer park wife pumps out babies, but I've just lost the enthusiasm for writing these posts. I told myself from the very beginning;

Well it's been weeks since my last review and to be honest, my next text review will take more than a couple of weeks to come out. I've thought about this for the past few weeks weighing the pros and cons of this decision, but I've decided to put the blog on hiatus until further notice. Between school and work, I don't find myself having much free time to write these reviews. Also, I can't help

Okay for those of you who wondered what I was complaining about in the animation from last week's episode, it was the ketchup on the guy's face. It seemed like there was a keyframe issue on the layering of the ketchup and mustard. It didn't match up well when the guy was laughing and if you look at his wrinkles, it's quite noticeable. I brought that up because it's one of the many reasons I

Still obsessing over the Mayan Apocalypse that never happened? Seriously, this show jumped on that bandwagon and rode it so hard, I'll go into more detail in the midseason report card. But what better choice for a lame, uninspired idea of an episode than to have it written by the ever talented Brian Kelley... I do hate myself at times. Opening Sequence: 1:04 Not much to really say,

As you may know at this point, I have missed not one, but two reviews thus far this season and come next week, it will be three. Why three you may ask? Let me explain. While I still do enjoy writing these really detailed, unprofessional "reviews" there are more important priorities in my life right now. Finals This week final exams will begin for me and like good college students, studying for

With an episode as dull as last week's, could the tide possibly be turned with this episode? *Checks FOX promotions* Well apparently the writers think that Homer throwing Bart into a Lion's den is funny... yeah and throat cancer is equally as funny. *Sigh* Why do I even bother to pretend to care? Opening sequence: 1:03 Not terrible, but am I the only one who  finds the chalkboard gag

...I honestly don't feel a good snarky introduction from me, so do my work for me and think of one yourselves this week. Opening sequence: 1:00 Really not much to talk about here, it's okay I guess The episode begins with an attempt at nostalgia with the Holy Rollers facing the Pins Pals except Otto's replaced with some guy named Dan. The Pin Pals are about to win, but contrived writing forces

Sorry for the lack of review last week, personal life prevented me from doing an initial review of the episode. And as the week went on, I just found the idea of writing a review to be more and more pointless so I just decided not to watch the episode entirely and just scrap that review for now. Of course, I will get around to watching the episode later, but I just didn't feel that it

You know, it's really sad when I need to double check what number this treehouse of horror is. It should be easy, whatever the season is, subtract 1 from that number and there you go. But because they've become so dull and uninspired, I don't even bother caring what the number is. So this time, we actually have a segment resembling a treehouse of HORROR as there's one based on Paranormal Activity

So great to be back, right? Right? With such a horrible episode to end last year's debacle of a season (Sans an episode or two) it's safe to assume that standards will be lower for this season. So what better way to open up a season than remind us of how many girlfriends our 10 year old boy has had over the 23 years and how few of them were before season 10. Woo... So let's truly begin.

Again, I am sorry for the massive delay, the month of August has not been kind to me at all. I still hope to get Bart and Maggie before season 24 starts. However I could probably sum up Maggie's change with one characteristic, so that might not happen. And now we move onto the typical sitcom housewife who every kid wants and she puts everyone else ahead of her. Wait, what's that? She's now just

From one of the worst episodes to one of the best. But what will happen to Kriken? Does anyone really care?

First off, I'd like to apologize for taking as much time as I did for this post. Real life really got in the way and one thing led to another but that's all besides the point. Here's segment two, I hope you enjoy. Conventional wisdom would say that Marge would be next, however, I want to go in order of the characters who were changed the most from awful writing. And while Homer's character

Another piece of shit to add to the growing pile of fail that was Season 20.

So the results are in, and the character analysis choice won. So, for the next few weeks, I'll be taking a look at the characters of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie (As well as any other I can think of that have changed significantly) and how much they've changed. First up is Homer, and for those of you who regularly read this blog, you know how much I hate Modern Homer, so I'll try to be&

Another year, another 20 some episodes of mediocrity and laziness. It included the best of times (Holidays of Future Passed) the worst of times (Lisa Goes Gaga) and a bunch of other 21 minuted animated wastelands not worthy of our memory. This season to me at least was worse than last year's because despite it having better highs than last season, it had WAY lower lows. Really there's

So... Lady Gaga, what can I say? What can I say about an episode where the main characters feel shoehorned in? It's one thing to have a guest star in an episode, it's another thing to turn the episode into a 30 minute commercial for said guest star that's meant to pander to the fans. But I have a job to do and you all enjoy seeing me suffer (You sick fucks) so, without further ado, let's see how

So only a few days left of this trainwreck of a season. we've seen some highs (Holidays of Future Passed) we've seen some lows (Moe Goes From Rags to Riches, Politically Inept with Homer Simpson, The D'oh-Cial Network, etc) but in a few days, the nightmare will be over. So FOX has been desperate in the promos for this particular episode (Think of the 500th episode promos tenfold) and they

Oh joy, an episode about "Nedna" quite possibly the only romance more awkward than Twilight. But I tell a lie,  I mean, if I squint hard enough... eh nevermind it's not there. Anyways, this didn't look fun when I first saw the preview, so does the episode actual surpass expectations? Let's find out. Oh and BTW, I will be doing the BINGO again this week Opening Sequence: 1:42 (One step

Yeah sorry for the delay, but things got in the way to prevent me from putting this out on time (Or even the next day). But anyways we have an episode to take a look at where Homer sees an imaginary spy who makes him a more suave man or something. I don't know, all I know is that it's supposed to be a James Bond parody, but it's far from McBain or anything entertaining, so let's just get on

What can I even say? Nevermind just how selfish the main plot is (Bart having his family sell valuables JUST so he can go on vacation) but the title threw me for a loop for the longest time. I was convinced that they just ran out of titles, but silly ole me thinking that they could actually come up with their own title. Little did I know that the title was actually based off a David Foster

So yeah, I've been blogging for two years now... go me? Well there's not really much to say, I've been doing this for two years and I've enjoyed my time doing this. I've met some nice people, I've apparently entertained many and despite how much I hate this show now, I do find myself enjoying ripping it apart. Oh well, maybe this will all end soon enough, and then who knows? Maybe I'll take that

Ah yes, that break was bit too long for me, back to mediocrity. Okay before I even talk about this episode, let me address something that wasn't worth it's own post because it wasn't news. Springfield, despite what you may have read is NOT in Oregon. So you may be saying "But Matt said it was!" actually NO he didn't, let's read the quote together: OK, why do the Simpsons live in a
