> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > To be fair, though, as they’ve broadcast over 400 episodes, it’s not surprising that some of the stories are going to be familiar. (BTW, I liked the couch gag.) I disagree, there are tons of ideas that they’ve never done. For instance, they’ve never had an episode that revolved around the cat, yet they’ve had TWO episodes where the dog has fathered babies. They’ve never had an episode about Carl or Lenny. If the writers can’t think of ideas then why not hire NEW writers?? Why pay all that money for the writers to give us Homer and Marge fight for the upteenth time. Also _Gilligan’s Island_ did the “they’re not really married” routine, Green Acres did the “they’re not married because Mr Druker didn’t send in his license renewel”, _I Love Lucy_ did the “they’re not really married” (thought that was because the name was mispelled) I bet half this board could come up with new ideas. ---

For instance, they’ve never had an episode that revolved around the cat, yet they’ve had TWO episodes where the dog has fathered babies. There was an episode a few years ago where the cat was killed. In fact, several cats were killed before Lisa wound up adopting one that looked just like the old one. (Okay, the ending sucked.) There was another B-story where the cat found a new family, although that was a quick one. > [@](#): > > They’ve never had an episode about Carl or Lenny. They’re not interesting. 😛 ---

I LOVED that ending… Lisa: I will call you Snowball IV Skinner: Isn’t that a little generous with its name? (I messed this line up, but the idea is there) Lisa: I dunno. Is it Principal Tamzarian? Skinner:…carry on Lisa…Snowball IV ---

In fact, several cats were killed before Lisa wound up adopting one that looked just like the old one. (Okay, the ending sucked.) There was another B-story where the cat found a new family, although that was a quick one. Yup, that was the ninth episode of season 15, “I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot.” Actually, I thought the ending was quite clever. [spoiler]Lisa names the cat “Snowball V,” but decides to leave “Snowball II” on the cat’s bowl and pretend the whole episode never happened. Principal Skinner, who is just strolling by, overhears her and says, “Isn’t that sort of cheating?” Lisa replies, “I guess you’re right, _Principal Tamzarian_.” Skinner then mutters, “Nice kitty,” and continues walking.[/spoiler] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/simpsons-3-29-wedding-for-disaster/491239.md?page=1)
