Season 23 Information Thread

[Prune Tracy]

I liked that second preview. Otto sitting next to Bart on the bus got a chuckle out of me.

[Zombies Rise from the Sea]

1st clip: the lyrics aren't good or funny or even subtle; seems to be designed to get Bart to do something, at least the singer manages to save it.
2nd clip: overindulgent, but I guess they can't do a gag like that without relying on some sort of flashiness...

Can't really gather much about the episode from the clips but I'm guessing the episode is going to go 50/50, leaning towards the other due to some stuff that worries me though...

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Liked that the dog chasing Bart in the second clip was the one from Lastest Gun in the West, but the clip probably wasn't the best way to show he's bored with his life. It'll do though, it'll do...

[cloneasaurus]

Wow, a good montage

[Cartoonnetwork]

I know most people is extremely critic with everything at this point but , like some otheres have said, the two clips are looking pretty good and more creative than most of this season. If you are going to have filler/montages this is the way they should be done, with a different style and including as many sight gags as possible. Let's hope the whole episode delivers.

[Matty]

Since he seems to be promoting this episode even though he hasn't written it, and has possibly posted a deleted scene in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Selman executive produced "A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again"

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

I didn't watch the second preview because I don't want to have seen the entire episode before it air...

[uruguayo]

"A Totally Fun Thing That Will Never Do Again Bart" was watched by 5.00 Millions.

That makes the episode the 5th least watched episode ever.

1st is The Daughter Also Rises with 4.33 million
2nd is Beware my Cheating Bart with 4.86 million
3rd is How I Wet Your Mother with 4.96 million
4th is The Great Simpsina with 4.99 million
5th is A Totally Fun Thing that Bart will Never do Again with 5.00 million

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

As a show like the Simpsons goes on it really isn't surprising that the newer episodes are watched by fewer, for several reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bottom 5 watched all come from Seasons 24 or 25 in a few years. Ratings are really not all that meaningful for this show's existence, at least not at this point.

Still this...

[Shaunbadia]

Again with the ratings? Jesus Christ!

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

Million Dollar Maybe is finally out of the top 5...

[biffwestwood]

Million Dollar Maybe is finally out of the top 5...

Why is that important?

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

Not really but that mean that now, all the worst audirnce are in season 22 and 23

[Comicshow MolemanBob]

I wouldn't be surprised if by the season finale all the top five will be from season 23...

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

I wouldn't be surprised if by the season finale all the top five will be from season 23...

Same for me. Only the great Simpsina is in season 22.

Here is the description from the foxflash schedule for "Lady Goes Gaga" even though we already knew it but this confirms the airdate. This will effectively end the information to be provided for season 23.

Thanks for the info Biff and this is interesting noodle muffin

[The Governor]

If you're not popular, you don't try to win friends! You create a few slandering facebook pages with forged names of the girls you don't like in school! That's the American way!

[leprechaun_dan]

until a psychic force

Good lord, that sounds bad

[The Governor]

Maybe Lisa should just contact Jill Hudson instead.

[Cartoonnetwork]

I'm kinda anticipating this episode. If it's as awful as it sounds well, it'll be kinda morbid to watch it. If it's good or decent it will be a big surprise.

My only hope is that I actually think Lady Gaga could be funny, I have watched a couple of interviews with her and she looks like someone who has a weird sense of humor. And it's obvious that she doesn't have sense of ridicule.

Maybe but Lady Gaga doesn't choose herself what she will do and say in the episode...

[Cromulent182]

wow that premise is terrible wtf
I can write better stuff than this, nay i will write better stuff than this! and then i'll send it to Al Jean and nothing will happen.

[Ernie]

Most TV shows get lower and lower ratings and number of viewers at they progress through the years. It's not a big surprise.

My cat will probably cough up funnier things than this episode.

[cymek]

Wow. Lady GaGa would actually drop whatever she's been doing to help some 8-year-old she doesn't even know because a voice in her head told her to? How cute.

Actually, that "psychic force" excuse is good for pretty much any celebrity guest star appearance.

Some season 24 info came up, describing an upcoming episode written by Tim Long:

Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sarah Silverman join Zooey Deschanel on 'The Simpsons' -- EXCLUSIVE

By the way, it's about time the season 24 thread opens up.

[Financial Panther]

That actually sounds interesting. I wonder why they can't bring Jessica back, too.

According to the article, the episode is titled "Moonshine River"

They were able to get the actresses who voiced Bart's more recent girlfriends but not able to get Sara (Laura Powers) Gilbert, Meryl (Jessica Lovejoy) Streep, or Reese (Greta Wolfcastle) Witherspoon?
