Season 1 is out on DVD.
Go crazy?
Oh sigh the memories.
The Shinnin
“Lousy Smarch” said by Homer as the parents attend a meeting about the faulty school calendars.
“Oh, I thought blood got off on the third floor” Mr. Burns said as the blood spills out of the elevator in the hotel and of course
“No beer and no TV make Homer something something”

“I’m somewhere where I don’t know where I am!”-Homer
“Oooh! Erotic Cakes”-Homer
Not sure of the episode title-The one where Lisa creates a small civilization from her tooth is a bowl of soda
“Look! I’ve created Lutherans”-Lisa-I thinks it’s just her delivery of this line that cracks me up
Again, not sure of the title-The one when Homer sells his soul for a donut-I think-If it’s the one where he ends up with a donut head at the end
“Homer stop picking at yourself”-Marge
“But I’m so sweet and tasty”-Homer
i always liked from “King Homer” when Mr. Burns throws the gas bomb and it goes 1 foot and gases him, and he starts singing “I was strolling through the gas on daaaaayyy!”
And the Homer time travel episode was hilarious!
There is supposed to be a Harry Potter story this year, but i don’t know if it will be with the Holloween episode or with the Literature Episode later in the season (like the Bible and tall tales episodes). That one will have the Odessey, with Homer!
**“Homer[sup]3[/sup]”
“Oooh, they got me with their legal mumbo-jumbo!”
“I’ve never looked behind this whach-a-ma-call it case before”
Patty or Selma: “It’s like he dissapeard into FAT air”
Marge: “Do you see towels, if you see towels your probably in the linen closet again…” Homer: “Just a second… nooo!”
Everything about that seg. was great, the graphics and the music…
This is doubly funny because October 31st is not only Halloween, but Reformation Day. For really hardcore Lutherans.
Amyone know when this year’s episode is airing?
Two classic Simpsons halloween quotes:
“Mmmmmmm… forbidden Donut”
“We have to kill the boy!”
“Grampa, how did you know he’s a vampire?”
“He’s a vampire?”
“Oh yeah, here’s your problem. Somebody set this thing to ‘Evil’.”
‘Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace’
At the very end, when Willie was trying to scare the kids in real life, he gets off a bus- “Boo! Heh Heh Heh! Boo! Ach, I left my gun on the seat! Wait here, please.” Then he starts running after the buss and his shoe falls off. It was so hilariously pathetic!
A few that haven’t been mentioned…
Time Travel:
Homer (thinks to self): Now just remember the advice your father gave you on your wedding day… (Grandpa): Son, if you ever go back in time, don’t step on anything! Cause even the slightest change can alter the future in ways you can’t imagine!
The Killer Krusty doll:
Homer, in an occult shop: I’d like to get this doll for my son’s birthday.
Shopkeep: Very well, but I must warn you the doll is cursed.
Homer: That’s bad.
Shopkeep: But you get a free ounce of Frogurt!
Homer: That’s good!
Shopkeep: The frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: That’s bad.
Shopkeep: But you get your choice of topping!
Homer: That’s good!
Shopkeep: The topping contains Potassium benzoate.
Homer: …
Shopkeep: That’s bad.
And then of course there’s the scene where Homer’s sitting in the bathtub singing the “My baloney has a first name…” and the Krusty doll sits up with a harpoon. For some reason that’s the one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
As I said before:
The plot is based on a Ray Bradbury short story (“The Sound of Thunder”?) from the collection, “The Golden Apples of the Sun”. The original story involves a famous big-game hunter who goes on a time travel safari in order to shoot a dinosaur. The hunter panics at the sight of T-Rex and manages to alter the course of history.
I’m glad to see it mentioned more times than any other episode (except, maybe the “Soul Doughnut” one, which is another of my favorites).
Homer: Flanders! You’re the devil?
Flanders: It’s always the one you least expect, Homer.
In “Time and Punishment”, at one point, as Homer is thrashing back and forth through time, the Simpson residence is changing from igloo, to underwater, to the Sphinx, to… The Flintstones’ home, in a homage to the last prime time television cartoon to precede The Simpsons.
I had never seen “The Shining” or “The Omega Man” before seeing the Simpson parodies. I think it would have helped to see “The Shining” before the parody, but I thought “The Homega Man” pretty much stood up on its own (probably because “The Omega Man” is, at heart, your basic after-the-disaster movie while “The Shining” is a little more complex).
