Season 23 Information Thread

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

That's kinda cool though, I'm already looking forward to the episode. Hope it turns out more like Apocalypse Cow than Yokel Chords...

Just a thought but maybe they got Gellar to reprise her role as she was there for the audio commentary for The Wandering Juvie. I doubt it, but that'd be cool...

[Financial Panther]

Well, perhaps that's actually a blessing. We wouldn't want them to ruin the characterizations of the more memorable girlfriends.

Maybe so, but Greta Wolfcastle is less memorable than Laura Powers or Jessica Lovejoy, the only two of Bart's ex-girlfriends from the classic era.

This news is funny but kinda funny

But BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: There is only Bart's girlfriend from recents seasons.

I would have loved to see Laura (S4), Jessica (S6) and Gretta (S13) or even Shauna (S23) but hey, at least they take 5...

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Shauna was voiced by Tress, a regular cast member, so she might still be there.

I know that Tress is a regular but I didn't know that Shauna was her Thanks for the info

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Sure thing, explains why she's been in at least 3 episodes already after all.

Is there any chance that this episode will "sum it up" and put an end to these "Bart gets a girlfriend" plots?

Yeah, I know; I was responding to the post above me until Raspberry oh-so-rudely got his message in before mine.

Don't count on it.

Just because The Simpsons have been on all seven continents does not mean that they will stop making episodes where the family travels to foreign countries.

If anything we should see a second vacation episode to Antarctica come the 25th season.

I actually want them to visit Russia. I'm just curious what excuse writers will come up with to get them there.

[The Governor]

I didn't know the show's budget could allow all the guest stars who played Bart's GFs to appear in one episode, unless they're all flashbacks.

[Dark Homer]

good god that episode sounds terrible

[leprechaun_dan]

Well, on the positive side, it's good we're finally gonna get to see Gina again. On the negative side, no Jessica?

[Matty]

I guess Meryl Streep's kids just don't care about the show anymore. They probably stopped watching 10 years ago after realizing the show turned to shit and are now posting over at boards & rec

[Blobulle]

Yeah it sounds interesting, plus I usually like the episodes when Bart has a girlfriend.

[Captain Squid]

The unvoiced ex's could appear in non-speaking roles, and only the ones listed are getting lines.

Also, Bart's unvoiced girlfriend in "The Monkey Suit" could appear in a scene either unvoiced or voiced by Tress Macneille

I don't think so

you know what could be interesting? if they introduced Jenda from "Future-drama"

[Financial Panther]

Ugh. No, please. Awful episode.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

If by awful you mean great.

[Financial Panther]

Worst future episode, easily.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Well I guess we'll vehemently disagree on that buddy. Your opinion left me shocked to say the least though....

[zartok-35]

Tim Long just won't go away, will he?

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

Worst future episode, easily.

No, Bart to the future is worst. How can they parody the title of the best movie ever and do a crap like this?

[The Governor]

If by awful you mean great.

Yeah, greatly awful, but not "Bart to the Future" awful.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

I know your opinion on it already and I disagree...

[Brad Lascelle]

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.

I won't bemoan the absence of the classic era GFs (they should have ponied up for Streep but not tell anyone as a surprise) but it would figure that out of the five girls they choose to bring back they have Bart decide the one he let "get away" was one he never dated in the first place.

There were literally no sparks between Bart and Mary. He simply gave her his cow to save him from being slaughtered and Cletus used that gesture to jump on some silly family custom that they should get hitched. They were NEVER a couple. (Gina is stretching things a bit as well.)

Tim Long just won't go away, will he?

Well, see the problem there is that the writing staff thinks we hate all of them equally. So because fans and critics aren't capable of being discerning with their criticism of modern day Simpsons, actual "bottom of the barrel" writing talents like Tim Long are free to continue their reign of destruction upon this franchise.

[cymek]

I fail to see how Gina (The Wandering Juvie) qualifies for a girlfriend. She was more like of an accomplice, wasn't she?
