[Jake]

38.01: "Big Box Springfield"
With the exception of the Sprawlmart, Springfield has been a much vacant of large stores, but when the town passes a No-Tax for new Business law, every big-box store threatens to wipe out the original downtown Springfield. Mayor Skinner, meanwhile, has been taking kick-backs for letting the big stores in and when Marge finds out, she's conflcited between conveinet shopping, or presevering a 'pure' Springfield.

38.02: "Fallout Girl"
With Skateboarding leaving her cold, Maggie, thanks to the xTreme sPorts channel, finds a sport she is capable of doing AND affording the equipment for--Street Luge. Now, sneaking out with Eric and Felecia, Maggie is secretly hanging with the 'cool' lugers at the top of Springfield Hill and she is in the running for the top girl spot on the team. Unfortunetly, when Homer and Marge are returning home they nearly hit the street luge team at an intersection. Shortly after, Maggie is grounded for the next year and is prohibited from sports, other than her weight room in the basement. Now depressed and ill-spirited, Maggie's becoming more and more out of shape and Eric is worried his sister's firey spirit is unfairly being snuffed out.

38.03: "How Conservative is Lisa Simpson?"
When Lisa stops back at home for Halloween to go trick or treating with Eric, she winds up on a doorstep of a Genius violinist Duumas Krekov whom she's instantly smitten. However, after the first date, Lisa is conflicted over Duumas--he's a wonderful guy, BUT he's too religious and has too many conservative views that make Lisa shudder. Even more unnerving, Homer and Marge love him and are wishful that Lisa be more involved.

38.04: "Fight for Your Life and/or Lives" (Halloween Episode)
In a world with crime on the rise, Capital Punishment is instituted by Government for nearly every crime imagineable, no matter how petty. And thanks to Hollywood's political influence, Death Row inmates are given an out--they can just sit there waiting to die, or they can fight weapon-to-hand with a champion to win their freedom. Unfortunetly, if they lose to the Champion, their family will also executed...and if the inmate wins, they'll become a "Champion" and their family will be rewarded immensly. When Maggie's up to the choice, she accepts to fight a Champion, much to Homer's objection.

I've not read those ideas yet, but Jake, how in the hell do you come up with 38 seasons?! I've not even done season 2 of my fan guide yet. :-[

[Semaj]

Excellent ideas,better than anything I could ever think of in my wildest fantasies.

wow 38 seasons and still going jake. some of these ideas are pretty good but they sound a little too short. i could see most of them working as subplots but they could struggle as main plots.

38.08: "Pray at the Pump"
With the cost of gas skyrocketing all over Springfield (and the US), Lisa's long standing public support of building a hybrid-car factor in Springfield starts to fall on supportive ears. With the plant's construction underway, Homer manages to find a decent job as an assembly line worker but the massive amounts of overtime is keeping him at work doing.....actual work. Meanwhile, Marge is worried Homer might actually be working TOO much. Even Maggie's a bit upset since Homer misses the Father-Daughter luncheon at the middle school.

Even worse, Homer was with Lenny and Carl that evening on the same boat and Marge is having a hard time dealing with Homer like Springfield is now doing with the Isotopes Football team.

38.11: "Revenge of Siblings"
Maggie and Eric's excitment of the upcoming Springfield / Shelbyville soccer championship causes them to make some bad choices, such as buying face paint from a vendor who happens to be a prankster from Shelbyville, that won't wash off.

Marge's snafu with cooking bacon while hurried causes a modest grease fire that destroys half the kitchen and nearly causes the family to vacate the house.

HOW are you coming up with all of these ideas? 38 seasons! If I made a show, I could only come up with 16!

[lisalover1]

I think I speak for everyone here when I say: Your work makes our work look like crap!

[Alex perez]

*****Speak for yourself, Lisalover. 0.o

Great work with the ideas, Jake. You keep amazing me by them, while the writers at the show are really running out of them.

[lisalover1]

I just wanted to see how people would react after I said that! But seriously, I suck at fanart.

[benos]

Jake, this is amazing, i hope you update your site as well soon enough, :silly:

[tarflyonthewall]

Four questions:
1. I came up with some ideas. How do I go about submitting them to you?

3. Where's the fife?
4. Gimme the fife.

Answers:

1. If you want to submit them, put them in this thread, but put your name by them. NHC member Rowdy Harmon has been maintaining the ideas part of my site for a few summers and should add the last three seasons sometime soon.

2. The ideas can come from anywhere...it's like my subconcious is putting these ideas together. Even though coming up with new ideas is a bit harder, it's still really fun and I hope to reach 1,000 ideas sometime soon.

3. Are there any real questions? :silly:

4. Can't talk....posting more....ideas.....

38.15: "Ned: Corporate Jesus"
When cleaning the attic, Marge finds a box of Ned's stuff that Homer either borrowed, or bought off him over 12 years ago. In it, Ned's first Bible given to him by his beatnik parents several decades ago is slowly deteriorating. Wanting to give him his book back, Marge convinces Homer to track down Ned who's now living in Denver w/Racheal. When he arrives, he finds Ned working for the DeGeorge Mining Company as a resident minister, but he's recieving a fat paycheck and Homer's surprised at how much Ned has changed. Missing the old, simple Ned Flanders, Homer subtely brings out the topic that Ned might becoming too much of a Lovejoy and when Ned realizes he's 'in it for the money' he and Racheal, who likes the $$$ come to a crux over their future.

38.16: "Springfield, City of Tomorrow...or, Yesterday...."
With fifty percent of Springfield baby boomers and the rest younger, up and comers, the town is divided over which direction to vest it's tourism trade: Be a historic town with little technology (Like Lancaster, PA), or be the mecca of modern society with Wi-Fi internet and be a hub of entertainment and education. Mayor Skinner is caught up in the middle and has to decide where to direct the tourism budget and he enlists Marge's help, but Maggie and Eric feel she's too out of touch to help the town.

Here are some of my ideas.

By David Bindley.

1. "Bored Games"
For her science class, Maggie must make a project describing what life would be like if her family lived in the future. She decides to make a board game, and soon the family and various Springfieldianites (Jessica Lovejoy, Smithers, Milhouse, etc) are coming up with ideas of their own.

2. "American Spy"
Viktor asks Bart to find someone who is interested in doing some spy work. Bart chooses Eric, but Bart doesn't know that the person who Eric is spying on is him.

3. "Hark The Gerald Angels Sing" (Christmas episode)
Maggie's school is having a Christmas carols evening where small groups of students performs a musical number related to Christmas. This episode is shown as it would be seen by a person in the audience, with the camera behind Homer and Marge.

4. "Arlie Vs. Vietnam"
Seymour and Edna have another fight after Seymour wants to move to Vietnam with Arlie.

More later.

[Jake]

Here are some of my ideas...

I like 2 and 3 since corporate espionage and Christmas themed episodes are two areas I really haven't covered yet.

38.17: "My Skinny, happy Wonder Boss"
When Viktor applies for a transfer from KBXL to a more 'profitable' market, his potential replacement seems like the nicest guy East of the Mississippi. Unfortunetly, it seems to good to be true as the company when Bart realizes his rockin' good time is soon coming to end as the station is changing to a conservative, talk show-esque format and Mr. Niceboss wants Bart to be the host. Meanwhile, Homer is trying to save money by installing a wood stove in the basement and Maggie's making some $$$ by chopping firewood but accidently chops down some trees that weren't meant to be cut.

38.18: "Eric & Felcia's 22 Minute Clip Show"
For 38 seasons, these two childhood sweethearts have had their fights, parties, trials and tribulations, but now grown-ups in their late 20's they look back, in a clip show format, they're greatest moments. For the episode finale, Eric compiled a special musical montage to celebrate their childhood time together to XTC's "Mayor of Simpleton."

38.19: "Trading Maggie"
When Maggie takes a trip to the Springfield Heights mall to get more protein shake mix, she signs up for a local test of a new Fox reality show: "Trading UP" where a family takes blind vote on which two members get traded to another family, where the two least liked family members are sent to the other family. Unfortunetly, Homer and Maggie are sent to another seemingly 'normal' family, but they soon realize that they're part of a vegitarian, mystic, almost Partridge-esque family. Even worse, the twin sons of Mystica Family are happy to be free of their parents influence and the over-compensation of being free is starting to creep Marge and Eric out.

38.20: "Gina...Again?" (Season Finale)
On a trip to the reconstructed Itchy and Scratchyland, Bart and Gina relive their adolesence by enjoying the rides and I&S nostalgia, but when the guy in the Itchy suit makes a pass at Gina while Bart's in the bathroom, Gina looses it and causes a scene and is arrested, which is, unfortunetly, a violation of her parole from Juvie. Now in jail, Bart has to figure out a way to get her out of jail beyond just paying bail. Meanwhile, unknown to a brokenhearted Bart, Maggie was behind "Itchy" taking a pass a Gina to make her irate and as Bart begins to piece the story together, Bart's afraid that Maggie's coniving ways are actually to sign of a future felon.

Season 39, coming soon! :D
