    NHC Weekly Episode Club (Simpsons Spin-off Showcase)

    Basically each week people nominate an episode for everyone who wants to participate to watch on the Sunday of that week. And then we discuss and nominate the next episode we will watch on the next Sunday. Its basically like a book club but with The Simpsons episodes.

    Anyone interested?

    If anyone turns out to be interested the first episode I'd like to nominate is Bart sells his soul.

    ... This actually sounds like a pretty awesome idea.

    Sunday might be a little iffy though, what with new episodes and all. This does sound like a good fill-in for the summer, at the very least; or if you want to do it year-round (or however long it'll last for - just a little cynicism on my part), Saturday might be a better day and more accessible to people.

    Either way I think I'm in.

    I guess i'll partake in this too.

    'Soul' would be a good choice to start this off with and yes, Saturday would probably be better.

Forget it, Marge. It's Chinatown!" - Homer's rant.

    I think Saturday would be best, and are we going to keep it to season 1-9?

    As for me, I don't really care what we watch this week.

  13. #13


    Yeah, I was going to ask about which seasons these would be restricted to. Otherwise, sounds good.

    I like this idea. I might be in it if we can sort out something and providing I can actually do it.

    Although I don't care what we choose, I like to see "Mother Simpson" as one of the earlier episodes we look at.
    "Sleeping Beast"

    eh, what the hell, we only live once.

    I'm in, but we just had a round-table on "Bart Sells His Soul" not too long ago it seems. I'd nominate a different episode of O&W, maybe "Mother Simpson".

    I'll do it. I have a whole bunch of DVDs, but I can't always decide which episodes to watch.


    Seasons 1-9 - Classic era
    10-12 - Scully era
    13-16 - Silver age
    16.5 - Into the abyss
    17 - The shit abyss
    18-24 - Zombie Simpsons

    I know I nominated Cape Feare earlier, but after some thought I think that instead of doing an episode like Feare, Soul, LETS, Lisa's Sub, or other common top episodes that would just turn the discussions into a massive circlejerk, we should highlight an episode that is still good, but is maybe underappreciated/not really thought about.

    For example, maybe "The Homer they Fall" or "Bart After Dark"

    I would perfer Saturday as well, and I think Bart Sells His Soul is a terrific episode to start with. (and I personally feel is underrated so it fits Animal's criteria too)

    if people disagree on the day, you could turn this idea into a relaxed version of the "Rate a Simpsons episode every day" thread, and just agree on one episode to watch at some point in the week.

    also I'd say it will be a lot easier to determine what episode you'll watch if one or a few people had more say than others, or maybe if you implemented a poll somehow.

    if we're doing Bart Sells Your Soul, I'm in at least for the start, just because I've been looking for a good time to sit down and watch it for the past few days.

    Totally in for this approach.

    So, which episode will it become? I'm with mel and hammster for watching "Bart Sells his Soul".

    If we want to watch a really good episode to start off with, then I nominate Bart Sells His Soul.

    If we want to watch an underrated episode to start off with, then I nominate Fear of Flying.

    i don't care day of the week, nor do i have a preference to an episode we watch first. pretty much anything from s8 or 5, my two favorite seasons, but of course, anything from the golden era, s1/2, or 9/10 would be good

    I'm in

    I nominate King Size Homer

    I think it should be just ones that you guys can watch.

    I won't be able to participate tomorrow, though.
    You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

    Everything happens for a reason.

    Just be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    Don't worry about the world ending today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

    Regarding episode selection, I think our best bet would be simply giving a rotating choice to the people participating (one person picks on week, another the next, and so on). It's more interesting if you get different people's choice as to always going with the most popular opinion.
