Season 17 Information

[Postmaster]

Oof - I really did overdo it. The alliterations got me carried away. Sorry, threadie. As you were...

(*don't forget the assisted suicide ep)

You could be a poet, albeit an unsuccessful one.
And yeah the assisted suicide one is without doubt going to be the worst episode ever, I’m not even going to watch it.

[Nameless]

Yeah, but it wouldn't have been great if that episode were true. I'd love to see an episode like that because basically, the writers won the fight didn't they? ATS is pretty much dead at this point and the critics like Ondre Lombard and Ben Collins are gone. I'd love to see the writers just rub in that fact.

No, it would be kind of a mixture of other episodes.

As for the ones I haven't prematurely speculated on yet...

HABF12⅛ - Take My Life, Disease

If handled right, with a good mixture of satire, humor and (depending on who the main character is) emotion, it could be good. But there's not really enough info to judge.

HABF0π - Yule Log Trilogy

The thought of an all-musical segment is really intriguing, and just that is enough to look forward to.

[Nameless]

Oh yeah, and FOX just got a press release stating what new episodes we're getting in November, which gives us longer/new descriptions for THOH XVI, Poisoning, See Homer Run, and Bonfire of the Manatees. I'll paste it here later.

Back on topic, aside from the one musical segment in the christmas trilogy, any news/ideas/theories on what the other two segments could be?

[Brad Clarke]

i hope there is a season 17

Are you joking or being serious? If you are serious, is the THOH airing in November again this year?

Serious, it's on November 9.

HABF0x9 - The Sound of Syzlak jungle remix
Sounds intresting
HAAAAAABF?? The Italian BOOOOOOB
The Italian bob but with shot through a filter to give weird a distorted effect on the animation, and with tweaked colors.

I love making jokes that only I get, it must make everyone think I'm a stupid weirdo.

[vox]

all right, let's stop cluttering the thread with fake info for a few months. don't want this thread to turn into a walking joke.


i guess it'd actually be a stickied joke...

[Brad Clarke]

yeah i guess u are right

i'd say july.

I will to wager 400 quataloos that someone fucks up before July and posts another "Homer's Prostitute" idea.

You know i'm surprised. Since they always air the halloween episodes after halloween, i'm surprised they've never aired the christmas episodes after christmas. How can they get the christimas episode right and screw up so badly every year with the halloween episode.

Remember Season 14? Dude, Where's My Ranch was supposedly set near Christmas and aired in February!

Now are the Christmas and "assisted suicide" episodes genuine? I remember reading about them in articles, but were they accurate?

And for that matter, the "assisted suicide" one could just be a mere one-liner or something. Anyone else remember in Season 14 when the "Mr. Teeny is released into the wild and doesn't get along with the other monkeys" joke from Large Marge was speculated as a plot for a whole episode? There was a few other short jokes that have been leaked in interviews and articles that have often been speculated as an upcoming episode plot.

Serious, it's on November 9.

November 9? Does anyone know when the latest possible World Series game is this year? (Yes, I know it went to November 4 in 2001, but that was mostly because of a) the Series going to Game 7 and b) 9/11.)

Anyway, that marks the latest a new Halloween special has ever aired on Fox/Global so far.

The Girl Who Slept Too Little: I have two problems here with the family protesting the stamp museum. The first is that Lisa tends to like museums, and the second is that Bart has a stamp collection.

See Homer Run: I think this episode could be hilarious if it's well done, or horrible if it's not.

Last of the Red Hot Mamas: Sorta like the Ricky Gervais episode, in that what we know sounds good, but I'm worried about what we don't know.

Yellow Crush: Doesn't that surfboard thing sorta sound like the poser skateboard in Barting Over?

My Fair Laddy: To me, this sounds like a combined retread of "Lisa's Date with Density" and the subplot of "Duffless", except with Groundskeeper Willie being Lisa's experiment rather than Nelson or Bart.

The Fight of the Homers: This also sounds like a combined retread to me, of "Homer's Enemy" and "Send In the Clones". Let's hope the humour in these two segments hasn't gotten old.

The Italian Bob: Let's hope this keeps the Sideshow Bob series alive.

Slim Simpson: OK, how many times has Homer tried to lose weight over the years?

Oh Father, Where Art Thou?: Perhaps after this episode we'll finally make sense of Abe's ramblings.

The Three Days of Christmas: What I didn't like about "She of Little Faith" was that the rocket, the new church, and the Buddhism seemed disjointed. I hope this one has a more connected plot.

Chop Suey!: I wonder if this will be one of Moe's annual suicide attempts... and what role Mr. Bergstrom will play in it.

alt.tv.homer: I hope it targets us as well as "The ISP Show" did.

The Sound of Szyzlak: Jungle Remix: I wonder if this will make Moe's song into the hit "Everybody Hates Ned Flanders" was. And if David Byrne will play a part in it.

The Italian BOOOOOOB: Should be as cool as "Candle in the Wound" was.

I hope the "joke episodes" actually turn out to be real ones, as most of them sound pretty good.

[Cartoonnetwork]

The return of Mr. Bergstrom is a real fact? I don't want to see him coming back at all! It will just not work! But I hope to...

The one about Grandpa possibly not being Homer's father doesn't sound good for me, either.

And The Girl Who Slept Too Little is another plot I don't find very good.

Italian Bob...after watching Goo Goo Gai Pan I'm terribly tired of vacation episodes. Please, make this one a little less wackier (or at least fun-wacky, which means NOT OVERUSING OF HOMER PAIN GAGS, possibly the first and one of the few flaws in current episodes).

But...season 16 has been great, so possibly there would be lots of good episodes.

No, it's just a joke that was started last December and has dragged on for months.

[prince jafar allah]

is there an alternate season 17 information thread where people can read the INFORMATION we have on SEASON 17 without having to wade through a lot of bad jokes, fabricated titles and banal speculation?

[Binky]

Well, there's the first post of this thread. And maybe there should be a written warning that the information posted on the first two pages isn't accurate.

Why does The Girl Who Slept Too Little sound bad to everyone? I like the idea.

GABF17 - Treehouse of Horror XVI - Written by Marc Wilmore (scary name TBA)

How about "Dark Killmore"? O.o

[Binky]

I think The Girl Who Slept Too Little would've made a great season finale, just looking at the episode description, but I'm sure it'll make a great season opener too.

[DuffMan72]

If any of these episodes are real, they sound like rehashes from older episodes.
