He gets mad, but it's his fault because Marge was using the money to help him. Spartan Girl is probably going through the roof.

Just ONCE I’d like an episode where Marge is called out on her own actions without putting the blame on Homer. ONCE. If it were the other way around and Homer was hiding money from Marge, she’d be furious with him no matter why and how he was spending it. How many episodes do we need of the show kissing Marge’s ass? I’m seriously asking. I support the writers strike and all, but when it comes to this show, the writers clearly stopped giving a damn a long time ago.

If Marge was sitting on all that money the whole time, why didn’t she use it to fund her stupid coaster idea in “Woo-Hoo Dunnit?” instead of stealing Lisa’s college money? Or all the other times the family was in financial trouble for this and that? We’re really supposed to believe she uses Daddy’s money ONLY for bailing Homer out? Why that and nothing else?

I knew catching Thin Orange Line flags and Punisher stickers were inevitable. They can use those, it's Disney synergy. It's still weird to see Chief Wiggum and Mayor Quimby being somewhat competent at their jobs. Liked the six-way war between the crossing guards, cops, ICE, the TSA, the lifeguards, the meter maids, and the overzealous neighborhood watch guys. And it was all solve by Otto running over Homer.

KWalkerInc October 14, 2023 Share October 14, 2023 I read that this year's Treehouse of Horror episode is apparently scheduled for November 5 even though there is a new episode on October 29. This seems odd. I suppose that one of the first two games of the World Series could be rained out and they were worried about having to push the episode to November anyway, but if any of the games after Game 2 get rained out, that could lead to a game being on November 5 and bumping TOH all the way to November 12! (I think the latest it has been is around November 7, which I remember from commercials on my recording of a World Series.) The only potential for rainouts is in Philadelphia, as the other three remaining teams have roofs, but it did happen last year. I suppose it doesn't really matter though with a show that had a Christmas episode in May a couple years ago for some reason.

Galileo908 October 29, 2023 Share October 29, 2023 Season 35, ep 4: Thirst Trap: A Corporate Love Story Quote In a parody documentary, a young college-dropout CEO embraces the Silicon Valley "fake it until you make it" philosophy and bewitches Mr. Burns into funding her highly dubious dream project. Airs 10/29/23 I mean...I really do wonder why they're holding off the THOH until next week if they've been airing new episodes without interruption. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/61/#findComment-8191553
DoctorAtomic October 30, 2023 Share October 30, 2023 I had thought because of the world series, but they're on a travel. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/61/#findComment-8191670
Galileo908 October 30, 2023 Share October 30, 2023 That Dramatic Chipmunk meme is old enough to vote. As are references to Jim looking at the camera in The Office. Really wish I hadn't read that episode summary, it ruined the twist for me. I was waiting for the reveal that Lifeboat was all a scam. It took me a bit to realize the plot is all a reference to Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, whose only crime was scamming rich people. Which, in this country, is the worst crime of all. Honestly, that tattoo gun that was able to suck up the tattoo ink back into it without pain was the billion dollar idea. Honestly, I trust Persephone to run Twitter more than Musk. Of course Burns' issue with her wasn't that she was evil (he loves evil!), but she kept insisting she's good. I did like that he somehow got her high school friends in the divorce. I honestly could've watched more of the fake, mundane Get Back clips. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/61/#findComment-8191705
