The majority of **all** animation you see on TV is done in Seoul. ---

It seems like all the eps are now a single storyline, instead of 2 or 3. It seems to make a big difference. ---

> [@down by law](#): > > a few of the episodes were animated in korea due to time constraints, and they often disregarded a lot of the standards that were set for the show. like colors would be different, scale was off, and they just looked outright shoddy. Apparently at the very beginning, there was some confusion. Smithers appeared black in an early episode, and the entire first episode was so horrible, it had to be thrown out and reanimated. Luckily, they were able to fix it all up eventually. (Korea’s a good place, if you must animate there, but never, _never_ farm your work out to Mexico City. Just ask Jay Ward.) ---

I’ve not been much of a fan of the past 4 episodes, but this one was great. I laughed quite a bit. Hope it’s a sign of what’s to come. ---

> [@Snooooopy](#): > > In the promos, there was an enormous nuclear blast, but in the show itself, there was no blast. As Marvin the Martian might say, “Where’s the _ **KABOOM** _?” They should’ve had Kang and Kodos say that at the end. ---

Is this a good time to mention that I know the guy who wrote the episode? He is one of the funniest people I have ever known. His brother is pretty funny as well and wrote the classic _Flaming Moes_ episode. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-simpsons-12-12/279524.md?page=1)
