Passively rewatching season 3 and I think it's interesting how clearly you can tell which episodes were originally worked on for season 2. The jump in animation is pretty staggering.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I Married Marge is such a great episode. Sure it's sweet but I'd forgotten that it's also loaded with laughs.

I think I don't like The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson. It feels like a series of generic "tourists in New York City" skits rather than an actual Simpsons episode. Some good jokes but overall kind of weak.

I like it, partially because it pretty much encapsulates my feelings about Chicago

I like it, but it's a been a bit overrated since the post 9/11 censorship.

I still watch the new ones; tonight's was actually pretty decent. This line in particular made me laugh out loud:
Yale student: "You're worse than Hitler!"
Mr. Burns: "Too late for flattery."
