Simpsons Dedicate Episode to SJG
Today's new episode of The Simpsons had a dedication at the start of the closing credits to Stephen Jay Gould with a picture from his episode of that show. They have done the same for other people who have appeared on the show but are no longer with us.
It was also a very funny episode. |

It couldn't have been a new episode; the season finale was last Sunday! Just because it had never aired before doesn't mean it was a new episode. Because everyone knows "season finale" means there aren't any more new episodes for the rest of the summer. Similarly, a new episode after a long summer drought is, de facto, <a href="http://www.snpp.com/episodeguide/season10.html" target="_blank">the season premiere</a>. The <a href="http://www.snpp.com/episodeguide/season12.html" target="_blank">following week's episode</a> does not deserve that title.
That said, I'll add that the Professor had the additional honor of having a dedicated episode which did not entirely suck. [ May 23, 2002: Message edited by: Grumpy ]</p> |

Out of curiosity, did the people who have never watched The Sopranos think it was funny? Got yourself a gun! Though in Homer's case it should be a doughnut. |

My hissy-fit is justified, on the grounds that FOX promoted the Sunday episode ("The Frying Game") as the "KILLER SEASON FINALE!" I have it on tape.
I also remember that FOX did the same thing for <a href="http://www.snpp.com/episodeguide/season7.html" target="_blank">Season 7</a>, when "Homerpalooza" was touted as the finale -- followed by a second, bonus episode the same night. [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Grumpy ]</p> |
