I agree with you about Reverend Lovejoy. This is an example of the Simpson’s genius. Lovejoy is suppose to be a bland, boring preacher, and he’s so bland and boring that you don’t even notice him.
I wrote a bio for him, and realized for the first time that his daughter’s name is Jessica Fletcher. The Simpsons aired opposite the show “Murder She Wrote,” which starred Angela Lansbury as a mystery write named–Jessica Fletcher.
There’s so many of those little things in the Simpsons!
They missed dozens of minor characters. It probably has something to do with who they could get to comment on the character or which had the most intersting backstory. Who knows. They all have their great moments.
BTW, not pictured on the TV Guide page is the issue I got which has a montage of all 24 characters mentioned in the arrticle.
No, that was the name Selma gave when Homer asked her if she would marry Apu so he could get US citizenship. Sadly,
along with Troy McClure’s weird sexual fetish, is something that will probably never be explained now.
I have no idea what their names are but what about those 2 Frenchmen that worked Bart like a slave when he went to France? That was a great episode. And how about that little kid that came over to the simpsons’s house as an exchange student. The one that was a spy. His code name was like “Little Bird” or seomthing like that. There is also the President of like australia or something. That one episode where Bart makes a long ass phone call to australia and the bill costs so much money and he goes down there and moons them all? That was a good one :).
