Thanks, Otto. (Il ike to get Blotto!) I’ll make the change…next time.
With God as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly.
I was listening to talk radio during lunch today. Dan Castelenetta (sp?) was on, and he confirmed that it was Maude who gets killed.
It’s probably going to be Maude Flanders.
Why do I say that?
According to Animation Blast, the voice actress (Maggie Roswell) has quit. She asked for a pay raise and Fox said no.

Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he’ll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.
They haven’t had a touching moment in years.
You say that as if it were a bad thing. 
Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.
Maude should be killed by having the female members do spring cleaning and a large stack of bibles and hymn books fall over and crush her
Not to sound like the comics store guy, but the one where Bleeding Gums dies would get my vote for “worst episode ever!”
I was expecting it to be about Bart sueing Krusty over the “jagged metal Krusty O” and instead it went south with a really sappy, sentimental plot (although they did get that Simba/Kimba thing in there!)
This may sound terrible, but I hope they make Maude’s death, well, funny!
I think the writers really dropped the ball with both Flanders characters. I always held out hope for an episode where Maude either really cut loose and broke out from the perfect Christian wife/mother/homemaker, or one where we found out she’d had a double life all along (she went to Bible camp alone once…she said…). Either that, or one where Flanders got into some twisted cult, like the Left-Behinders. Instead, we get an episode where Homer, and everyone else except Flanders (well, Maude was skeptical), falls for a religious scam, and another episode where Homer tries to get Ned Flanders to loosen up. Haw, haw. So now both those hopes will be laid to rest (pun).
Also, early on I kept mishearing Mrs. Flanders’ name as “Moll”. Wonder why that couldn’t have been so?

I meant Marge was skeptical. Doh!

60 seconds ago… Maude Flanders was pronounced dead by Dr. Julius Hibbert. She plummeted to her death from the top of a stand of bleachers. She was basically shirt-faced.
We’ll miss ya Maude.
Recent polls revealed that some people have never been polled, until recently.
Good job…And so new…You should be proud…
The episode sucked though. Not even an ounce of emotion. Not even funny like Frank Grimes…Well what are you gonna do?
So, I’m not the only one who didn’t find the episode funny. Or touching.
It seemed creepy to me.
Friends don’t let friends USENET.
There were funny parts. Jasper playing the spoons was funny to me.
The ending was very odd though. Very sudden.
That episode was just too weird. There were two parts that made me (and my s/o) burst into laughter: the extra-long blur of Ned’s apparently extra-long manhood from the video of him in the shower, and the swan boat in his driveway following his escape from the commitment freak.
The rest was just…weird. In fact, the last few episodes have been just a bit bizarre. Kinda funny, though.
I did notice Maude’s voice was different. I didn’t realize the woman who provided her voice had quit.
Teaching: The ultimate birth control method.
And one other thing I forgot, if Ned is 60 why is he dating so young?
And why so soon?
Maybe Maude will resurrect soon
I thought the sign outside the single’s place was pretty funny:
“Yes, we have desparate immigrants!”
And the comic book guy,
“Are you going to call all those women?”
“No, the videos are enough”
Trying is the first step to failure
Nice Call!!
Not the ‘worst episode ever’ but it’s gotta be close… It had moments but I was left unsatisfied. They should be allowed to have their down times, but this was billed as the “most shocking Simpson’s yet” which it was not.

Best moment: The 21 t-shirt salute with shirts reading “Let 'er R.I.P.”
Second best: Bart convincing Rod and Todd that they were playing the video game by being “part of the team.”
Isn’t someone suing Letterman claiming they were injured by a flying t-shirt?
Of course, if Ned didn’t insist his family stay on the top row, so to keep the boys from hearing cursing, his old lady would never take her fatal plunge.
Oh come on, who didn’t laugh at the yokels?
“Aw be nice. They’s my parents, too!”
Marge: Your father is… resting.
Bart: “Resting” hung over? “Resting” got fired? Help me out here.
Anybody know who actually voiced her for this episode, since the original woman is gone? Was it her replacement who will fill in for the other characters (Ms. Hoover, etc.)?
I wasn’t thrilled with the episode either - I laughed more during “Futurama.”

Next time I want your opinion I’ll beat it out of you.
