What was this book about?
I read it but all I remember is a nip noncing on his mother and then some kids doing something to the sailor who dates her.
Question:
How do so many people here remember specific Simpsons scenes by heart? It's rather intimidating.
The Myth of Sisyphus
>>9047148
I watched it endlessly as a kid and still as an adult, stuff is engrained in my brain.
>>9047159
relevant pic
>>9047144
The kids worship the sailor as the ultimate stoic masculine figure, unswayed by irrational urges and dedicated only to the sea. Then as the sailor falls in love with the mother and the kids learn that he is a poofy romantic with emotions they feel betrayed andkill him
>>9047169
Thank you.
Cat's Cradle
>>9047148
I know the entire Monorail episode by heart
There werent many good TV shows back then, there wasnt Netflix and the internet wasnt good enough for streaming, the Simpsons was basically the only assuredly good thing on
>>9047148
The first ten or so seasons are committed almost entirely to memory. Those episodes were on TV all the time when I was a kid and as I've agreed it's helped that they're pure gold in terms of comedy writing.
>>9047194
*aged
Don Quixote.
>>9045562
Pretty good.
pretty much any Tom Clancy novel
>>9047183
i like it
>>9047148
endless reruns and neglectful parents allowed me to commit lots of time to simpsons, all scenes are burned forever in my brain
>>9047191
Haha this is true. My old man used to work on the rigs and said it was the only thing that brought every man into the TV room. It was just such an well loved show. The rigs are shite now. Everyone just goes to their bunks and goes on Netflix. Unrelated but does anyone know of good books on oil rigs? Thanks
>>9044783

>>9048037
When people refer to "Faust" and "Faust Part 2" they mean very specific works and not Dr. Faustus or whatever fanfiction you are writing

Meh, I think that could've been funnier with a different image.
until what season simpsons are worth watching? i've always watched random episodes but kind of wanted to watch them all
>>9049105
most agree that season 3-8 are the golden age. I'd say that it's still pretty good until about season 13 or so and then the quality nosedives to the point that most episodes are not worth watching. Even still, every season has good episodes so it's worth looking up recommendations for the best ones if you're trying to watch from more recent seasons
>>9049111
thanks

>>9049105
The Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein era is the last really solid era, which is technically the eighth season. However since seasons aren't discrete production units there is bleed from one to the next, and I think at least 3/4ths of the 9th season scripts are really solid--comparable to anything else from season seven or eight.
Even season 10 is watchable. The shows internal memory and the "institutional memory" of the writing staff were still relatively well connected to the anything that could be considered the golden era.
Season 11 is where things start to get really bad. The Tommaco episode stands out in my memory as the last maybe quasi-good episode, and a lot of people consider the horse racing episode to be one of the first new era episodes
