    I just kinda wish they just made her either a quiet character or just had a temp voice for her, because only a handful of seasons later she returned to the series. Think of all the other stories they could have done with her and Ned that now can’t happen because of some studio meddling. (I do want to tho this is a great video that I can tell you put a lot of work in!)

    For me I can put up with a fair amount of whacky stuff (although I would say put up with, not enjoy), like the Skinner is an imposter, Homer is an astronaut (I actually really liked both those episodes) and all that sort of stuff. It's the departure from solid full plots, where characters have genuine interactions and conflicts and so on with jokes and gags added on like cake frosting. But modern seasons are just a massive string of jokes with a plot that barely makes any sense. For me, golden age episodes need to be watched in its entirety to be enjoyed. Modern episodes you could snip a 5 minutes chunk, almost at random, out of the episode and you wouldn't miss out on anything.

For north of a year now, it's not an official red team install with out at least one end-to-end listening of "Be A Man". For some reason it just puts us all in a good mood.
