The Simpsons Discussion Thread

I'm in for the night because I'm sick. Talk about anything regarding the Simpsons. The best years 2-10 or even afterwards (movie, switch to digital ink). I'll start:

Captain McCallister is such an underutilized "B" character.

by **__greg** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:45 pm

11 is certainly one of the best seasons. Even 12 is great. Then it starts going downhill a bit. Troy McClure was the best "B" character ever.

by **Olde Tyme Dan** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:50 pm

I love all the Phil Hartman characters.

Troy is awesome, and so is Lionel Hutz.

There was talk of doing a spin off of Troy McClure into a movie that was live action starring Phil Hartman. But then his rude, thoughtless little pig wife shot him.

by **markus aurelius** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:50 pm

One of my favorite Captain McAllister bits is actually from a later season episode, where Homer gets a pet lobster. McAllister tells Homer and Marge that he runs a small training academy for lobsters, which in itself is a hilarious idea, and suggests that they enroll it. But then Marge declines, and McAllister says, "Arr, I understand, it's hard letting go. Tell me this then...... have you got any spare change?"

either moe or lionel hutz is my favorite minor character.

Troy McClure...he sleeps with the fishes

by **Boner In Sweatpants** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:55 pm

In Season 1, it's crazy to see how inconsistent each episode is regarding the drawing of characters, the voices, the setting. That's what makes it really fun

by **Olde Tyme Dan** » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:57 pm

When Ralph first started being a minor character, he was the best minor character by far. He was so brief and fucking hilarious. I'll never forget "Ralph, are you eating your paste??" and Ralph's response with the brush in his mouth "No Miss Hoover." I fucking lost my mind. But they overplayed the Ralph thing and kind of ran it into the ground.

For years Hans Moleman was the greatest minor character. I still think he is. Him driiving the sugar truck, driving the truck with the Edgar Allen Poe house, the birds scene ("I need the biggest sea bell you have.......no thats too big"), Man Getting Hit By Football, and when he was in AA (Im only 35 years old!)

i know they cut it from syndication due to time constraints but i always wonder whether they did it because it involved a gun and moleman talking to god.

i just checked my attic as i have a bunch of seasons that i havent watched in years but i used to be obsessed with the show, season 8 was on the top of the pile (its the limited edition in the shape of maggies head) so i'll dig that out later, and watch the deleted scenes, i thought that moleman thing looked familiar.

i'll check later but i think i have seasons 2,3,6,8 but will have to check :smt003
