[Jesse Pinkman]

another with joe mentegna? that's what, 3-4, in the same season?

[RJS160]

No only 2

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Julie Kavner's back! This is her first commentary since season 6 correct? Thanks again for all the info RJS.

[lovedartsandsimpsons]

Jim Brooks and Julie Kavner haven't done commentaries since season six IIRC (Well, at least on the series. Brooks was on the movie commentary of course.)

[RJS160]

Julie Kavner's back! This is her first commentary since season 6 correct? Thanks again for all the info RJS.

Her final commentary was for Season 6 episode "Homer Badman" but she rarely talked in that episode.

"Treehouse of Horror XIII"
with Al Jean, Matt Selman, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Tom Gammill, Max Pross, David Silverman

[Jesse Pinkman]

No only 2

oh, my mistake. still, it seems weird he would appear in more than one, considering his character only appeared one time this season (or at least, one time i remember. i haven't seen some of these for a while, so pardon me if i am wrong and he has appeared more)

Maybe it's like some other commentaries where the people there have been present for other ones, and they can't be bothered leaving the seats or feel like chatting/hanging about.

"Helter Shelter"
with Matt Groening, Al Jean, Matt Selman, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Joel H. Cohen, Mark Kirkland, Dan Castellaneta, Yeardley Smith

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

^Can't wait for Al Jean to mention how this was the last cel episode...

Also, can anyone tell me why even when I'm sure RJS is online the little light beside his name always appears off?

[lionelhutz123]

He's got connections

[RJS160]

The Bart of War
with Matt Groening, Al Jean, Matt Selman, Marc Wilmore, David Mirkin, Michael Polcino, David Silverman, Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Hayden

[Jesse Pinkman]

Also, can anyone tell me why even when I'm sure RJS is online the little light beside his name always appears off?

that is called 'invisibility' mode. when people are online and not in invisiblity mode, there's a green light. when people are in invisibility mode, you can't tell what they are doing, or even if they're online. if they're online, you can't tell if they're looking at a thread, if they're on someone's profile, or what they're doing. you never know for sure

The deleted scenes (with commentary) will be with Al Jean and Mike Scully (cameo only)

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

We already know who will be on the "Barting Over" commentary thanks to page 3 of this thread where there's a link to Mark Hoppus blogging a picture of everyone involved. Al Jean is notably missing, but may have been the one taking the pic.

EDIT: So of the 19 episodes we know Matt Groening is on 10 of the commentaries, a far greater ratio than other recent seasons and a good sign for nerds like me. Also, every regular cast member except Harry Shearer will also appear at least once.

[The Wiggs]

Ok, I added in the Barting Over commentary.

[RJS160]

"The Dad Who Knew Too Little"
with Al Jean, Matt Selman, Tom Gammill, Max Pross, Mark Kirkland, Dan Castellaneta, Yeardley Smith

"I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can"
with Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, Al Jean, Matt Selman, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Carolyn Omine, Dana Gould, Mike Reiss, Nancy Kruse, Yeardley Smith

"'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky"
with Matt Groening, Al Jean, Matt Selman, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Dan Greaney, Steven Dean Moore, Eric Idle, Joe Mantegna

[Jesse Pinkman]

3 with joe mantegna in the same season? weird.

maybe now we can get info. on when it is released!

[RJS160]

add those 3 to your list 'The Wiggs'. I will keep you posted on any more information.

[Blobulle]

Thanks RJS160 !
Now the list is complete ?

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

So Groening will be on 12 of the 22 commentaries this season, not bad all things considering. Gotta say on paper several of these sound like they could be really good. August come faster!

[RJS160]

Hopefully he doesn't walk into the commentary during the end credits like he did on "Blame it on Lisa".

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

That is a concern, but even if one episode was wasted like that 11 out of 22 is still pretty good

The best news out of all of this though is John Lovitz's appearance as if my hunch is correct they may have been recording some Season 15 commentaries as early as the same time they were doing these for Season 14. It would not be completely stupid to assume this could mean an earlier release date for Season 15, personally I'd be thrilled if we got it by next March...

[RJS160]

Then they can go back to releasing two DVDs per year.

[The Wiggs]

add those 3 to your list 'The Wiggs'. I will keep you posted on any more information.

They've been added. Any new information will be added too and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks RJS.

[RJS160]

Hey 'The Wiggs'

Change 'probably Al Jean' to just Al Jean.

[alex_on_ice]

Thanks RJS160 for all the information ! And thanks also The Wiggs for updating eveything so we can view the list easily in one post .

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Then they can go back to releasing two DVDs per year.

That is my hope

[RJS160]

The deleted scenes (with commentary) will be with Al Jean and Mike Scully (cameo only)

[The Wiggs]

Then they can go back to releasing two DVDs per year.

That would be spectacular
