TVSpectator March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 Quote Stephen Hawking was remembered on Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons. The renowned physicist had made numerous cameo appearances on the hit animated Fox show during its 29-season run. Sunday’s episode featured a card in memory of Hawking with a still from the 1999 episode “They Saved Lisa’s Brain!” in which he guest-starred alongside Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The image features Hawking in his iconic helicopter and jet-powered wheelchair with Lisa Simpson sitting on his lap. (You can see the image above). It was one of Hawking’s most famous cameos in which Hawking arrived in Springfield to rescue Lisa from a baying mob, using the helicopter blades concealed in his wheelchair He later shares a beer with Homer Simpson, who enjoys hanging out with “Lisa’s robot buddy”. 1 The Simpsons paid tribute to Steven Hawkings with a still from 1999. http://deadline.com/2018/03/the-simpsons-tribute-stephen-hawking-1202345695/ 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/33/#findComment-4159027

One dream interpretation I had of this episode was that the painting was made of cupcake frosting, and that's why Homer was so in love with it. I liked the explanation part.

Galileo908 March 26, 2018 Share March 26, 2018 That Bil Plympton bit at the beginning was great. Damn, that whole MCU bit was great. "Why does Jeremy Renner need TWO assistants?" The true villain of the MCU being Uncle Ben is a twist so dumb I wouldn't doubt Marvel doing it. I liked that the apartment they visited was the actual one from Lisa's First Word. It was sweet to actually see how they filled in the gap where they got their first apartment and when Bart and Lisa were conceived. Then again, Bart's story contradicts I Married Marge (and every other story of Bart's conception). Marge still lived at Home. Having Lisa to calm down Bart thanks to a church video makes sense in a Simpsony way, but I still call bullcrap It was cool to see 70s-Early 80s(ish) Springfieldians. Bleeding Gums Muphy AND Sideshow Bob being at Homer & Lisa's party is where I called BS. Was that Kearney with hair I spotted at that party? Loved seeing JK Simmons again as Not-J Jonah Jameson again. "What about the story of how Maggie was born?" "We told you that story." "How about the dog?" "Found him at Christmas." "What about the cat?" "Who cares?" I liked that little tag at the end.

It's not because they're terrible, they're really not. It's because they are the most vivid reminder of how this show has been phoning it in for years. There is more effort and care put into creating those gags than there is the actual episode. Quote It was cool to see 70s-Early 80s(ish) Springfieldians. Quote You're talking about Bart being born in the late 70s based on this episode. Where are people getting that from? It seemed fairly obvious that the flashbacks took place a decade ago (as it of course would, as Bart is 10), meaning Homer and Marge were a fun loving, childless, married couple circa 2007. The only thing that screamed an earlier date was Dr Hibbert inexplicably being dressed as Purple Rain-era Prince. I get people being bothered by the ret-cons that have occurred over the years. It is strange, but the show has been on so long that of course they are going to have to change time periods for certain events. Marge and Homer obviously can no longer be members of the class of 1974, as they were in the first flashback episodes. What really bothers me is how lazy they get by deciding that suddenly all these characters are basically the same age now. Characters like Moe, Kent Brockman, and others should not be in the same age group as Homer and Marge. I daresay, it's getting to be that at some point even Mr Burns will be portrayed as a contemporary of Homer's.

And both Kirk Van Houten and Reverend Lovejoy were wearing skinny jeans with black Chuck Taylor All-Stars. People have of course been wearing All-Stars for a very long time, but I highly doubt anyone was rocking them at a house party in the 70's. They definitely weren't wearing skinny jeans. On the other hand, Smithers and Apu were dressed sort of 80's-ish. Smithers was rather preppy in his Polo Shirt with the sweater tied around his neck.

It was like the Canyonero episode mixed with the Streetcar episode, but without anything that made either story good or memorable. Bart's plot fell kind of flat, too. Marge is still pissed off that Bart pranked everyone yet again (while feeling remorse ONLY because she was in the audience), but nothing came of that.

I really did believe that Moe was related to the family we saw, they're just as big ugly creeps as he is. The word "reach around" was said a lot tonight, I couldn't get my mind off of that. "Homer, what's your favorite movie?" "Fast & Furious 6." "What was the theme of the movie?" "Cars." "What was the OTHER theme?" "(gasps) Family!

ganesh April 16, 2018 Share April 16, 2018 I don't think it's silly either, and I think their response to it was condescending and tone deaf. They didn't come off well, and the plot about the book kind of went against what their point was with Apu anyway. I actually liked the Art of War plot and wish they spent more time on it.

SmithW6079 April 17, 2018 Share April 17, 2018 Debi Mazar was also just in "Happy!" Syfy's psychotic comedy starring Christopher Meloni. I'm generally not a fan of Moe stories, but this made me laugh out loud several times, especially Homer's observations that Marge's meddling was not going to end well.
