Re: Closing?

We are down to a mere dozen now.? We numbered over 30 at one point.

These are all great ideas. Sounds like you might be an excellent candidate to take over, if you want. It is just an administrative thing at this point...

Just curious, how many people are subscribed?

I wonder if it might help if we had a specific, regular theme that invited participation.?

I originally thought of a short monthly trivia contest, but that might take some extra effort to administer and people could cheat.

So what about something more personal and subjective, like a themed topic? Maybe like asking a question every month about a specific episode — like, “What was your favorite line?from?$pringfield (where Marge discovers gambling)? Post a clip if available.”?

Or just something that invited people to share what they liked about something specific and why? (I just get the impression that because the show has such an insane amount of amazing scenes and lines over decades, most people have own unique favorites, and it would be cool to share those.)

And I am biased about this, but I like the idea of focusing on the classic seasons, like 1-10. Embarrassingly, I haven’t kept up with much of the recent stuff, although I still cherish pretty much every episode from those first seasons (especially seasons 2-5). I’m guessing there might be a lot more people who are familiar with that core material, but again, I am a little biased.

Closing?

#7

Due to a significant lack of activity in this group, I was considering shutting it down. If anyone wants to take over, let me know as I have to update national in less than TWO WEEKS.? If I do not hear from anyone by about December 8th, the SIG will, sadly, cease to exist.

Simpsons video game

#6

Earlier this year - April, to be specific - my wife and I were in Roanoke, VA.

?

Roanoke has a Pinball "Museum" (pay one price, play pinball all day - highly recommended) and what they call the Starcade (pay one price, play video games all day - not as recommended as the Pinball Museum - and there is a discount for a two-fer ticket). In the far back corner of the games facility was a Simpsons upright video game. I played a game of it - as Homer - for a few minutes before I moved on because the controller was acting up a little.

Simpsons Magazine in Europe

#5

I will admit that this group is rather quiet, for that, I'm sorry.

?

Last fall, my wife and I were traveling in Europe.? Our bus stopped for the passengers to take a technical break.? In the convenience store we came across a Simpsons magazine (pictures attached [not sure how they will be rendered, if at all]).? Thought that was interesting.

Is everyone caught up?? Who was pleasantly surprised by that one short-appearing (or is that short-sounding) "guest star"?

Looking forward to it!

Catching up on the DVR

#1

Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

I've been catching up on the recorded Simpsons.? Overall they have been pretty funny.

The isolation intro a couple weeks ago was was interesting.

Most recently, the "we're having roasted Bible.? Too soon?"? was especially funny.
