Plot certainly sounds different and perhaps interesting, but I hope it doesn't turn in to another "Simpsons on the run" plot a la KTAAR and BMM

The idea sounded kind of funky to me too. I gather Moe is either drunk or talks to that rag like Tom Hanks talked to Wilson in "Cast Away", which imo is ok. As long as its not just an "actual" talking rag.

Im actually kinda looking forward to seeing Moe Goes from Rags to Riches even though it'll probably be bad. And the next episode The Daughter Also Rises sound terrible, both the Lisa plot and the {shudder} mythbusters oh I'm sorry I mean Mythcrackers parody. You can already predict there gonna do a coke and mentos joke. Again.

Too bad he's dead.

Apparently David Letterman is another guest-voice in tonight episode.
(This was posted by The Simpsons official Facebook): "David Letterman guest-voices on Tomorrow's episode of The Simpsons. Don't miss it at 8/7c!"

**Matty** · 01-29-2012, 08:37 AM

He just guestvoiced 2 weeks ago, why would he be on again? Or is it just a facebook blunder?

Nope, he is guest starring in tonights episode. I saw an ad on my FOX network advertising the celebrity.

Correction, David Letterman was not in the episode, the ad I saw was likely to have been a advertising mistake.

**Oh, that's raspberry!** · 01-29-2012, 07:18 PM

Didn't notice him in the episode, I guess they were off by one.

**biffwestwood** · 01-30-2012, 11:01 AM

We got word from Entertainment Weekly that wiki-leaks founder Julian Assange will be guest starring as himself in "At Long Last Leave" as The Simpsons new neighbor in the off the grid town that the family gets sent to.

Now it's time for another one of Irvine's useless, not-so-famous predictions. Yay.

About the quality of At Long Last Leave - I predict it'll either one of these two things: it could be another Eternal Moonshine-type fluke, although I don't think they could pull off two Eternal Moonshines in one season. Or it could be like 500 Keys, in the sense that the episode is trying to be Eternal Moonshine, but fails miserably. Let's see how that fares.

**biffwestwood** · 01-30-2012, 07:14 PM

foxflash.com has also added two more promos for "At Long Last Leave" in which they both have Julian Assange depicted in them.

Is "Eternal Moonshine" now just the phrase used to describe a good double-digit season episode of the show?

Woah.

**Dark Homer** · 01-30-2012, 10:18 PM

*sniffs episode* Ooh, do I detect a subtle hint of MoneyBART? Its smooth flavor blends with the distinct tanginess of Jazzy and the Pussycats quite well

I actually think 500 Keys is better than Eternal Moonshine.

**irvine_11** · 01-31-2012, 05:26 AM

Actually, Friz, it's the term used to describe good episodes from seasons 17-present.

I wouldn't remove that tape anytime soon.

**The Governor** · 01-31-2012, 08:21 AM

Maybe the guy who started that "label" was drinking too much regular moonshine.

Don't knock moonshine. That drink is one of the reasons why Tennessee is such a moral, well-respected state.

**MDB** · 01-31-2012, 12:54 PM

I am worry about the plot of "At Long Last Leave" I think writers will waste the time without a concrete argument,

I mean the angry city, the new home and Julian Assange' jokes can't take only a half hour (which is really 21 minutes)

not necessarily... maybe The Simpsons will move to a place when people who is hated by somebody can live in peace.

Yes this is possible

**The Governor** · 01-31-2012, 10:30 PM

Off the grid!? Are they going Amish Paradise, or something?

If they are then I'm hoping there's a joke that at least references the lack of entertainment or the inconvenience of using bushes as a bathroom...

**Matty** · 01-31-2012, 10:51 PM

Looks more like a Mad Max kinda place in the promo's. Why would Marge dress like that?

Maybe they're suggesting we should all go off the grid and disconnect ourselves from the Simpsons. Or maybe season 23 will finally go off the grid to produce a decent, entertaining episode

It definately does not look amish because that is more of a simple life of 17th century like living and they are not dressed like traditional amish people.

It looks more like they are living as survivalists in the more radical believing anarcho-primitivism (opposing progress of civilization) or a neo-luddism (opposing modern technology).

In fact, some of the promos remind me of the way Ted Kaczynski AKA: The Unabomber was living before his arrest.

**SimpsonArgentina** · 02-01-2012, 09:24 PM

There are two new promos of "At Long Last Leave" at Foxflash...

**Alex_Of_Darkness** · 02-02-2012, 03:01 PM

Now, the episode doesn't look good

**~~Bleedin' Gums Murphy~~** · 02-02-2012, 03:18 PM

Can someone post those promo links on here?

**Alex_Of_Darkness** · 02-02-2012, 03:39 PM

Small but is the best that I can do !
