We return to one of our perennial favourite topics, THE SIMPSONS, to consider two episodes from very different eras of its run: the legendary Season 4 banger "Kamp Krusty," and the hot-off-the-presses Season 36 ep "The Yellow Lotus." Which one earns our coveted Krusty Brand Seal of Approval? PLUS: We mark the passing of a Canadian broadcasting "pioneer."

Most of those kids shows you mentioned aired in America on PBS. Zaboomafoo was a favorite of mine. When the lemur who played him died I was drunk at the bar attached to the local indie theater. I loudly lamented his death, started eulogizing him to other people at the bar, and toasted to his memory. I don't remember 9/11, but I remember that

You forgot there was also a claymation zoomzubafoo that would feature in little animated shorts during the episode. One and three zaboommufus.

You guys just barely missed the perfect modern-day Simpsons episode by just one week. When I was watching the season opener, I was thinking to myself how much I would love to hear Michael and Us obliterate that self-referential nightmare. It took me four tries to start and finish that 22-minute episode. No knock on the pod at all—you nailed it as usual, but I thought I’d try and draw your attention to an even more zombified modern Simpsons. I only tuned in because I fell for the trick of the internet loudly proclaiming all week that, “THE SIMPSONS IS BACK, BABY!”.

Back in 2004 I worked at Zellers, and I remember Roger Abbott coming in and buying a cheap TV. I stood there at the register staring at him, wondering where I recognized him from. Then I saw his credit card and the Air Farce memories came flooding back. I called up my friend in the back stockroom and we gave him the royal treatment carrying his tiny TV out to his car. He seemed kind of annoyed, I got the impression he was pretty humble and didn't want special treatment. Anyway that's my celebrity Air Farce story.

Phish was on the Simpsons my sophomore year of college. As a fairweather fan, I was encouraged that my dorm had fervor for the upcoming episode (I was the resident adult swim viewer). Everyone was disappointed. It was also the Homer smokes medical weed episode. I enjoyed the musical montage but his trip on the ghost pepper from the chili episode was way better.

My relationship to Mike Bullard is impatience whenever "Open Mike w/Mike Bullard" was on on the Comedy Network when I got home from school in the early 2000's, instead of something that I wanted to watch.

I found the Mike Bullard talk interesting as a point of comparison with Ireland. We are also the much smaller neighbour of a very prominent nation, and we often have a resulting inferiority complex, but we have one of the longest running talk shows in the world, The Late Late Show. We have have easy access to British channels, so I'm not sure why something like that can succeed in Ireland but not in Canada.

Who actually watches new first-run Simpsons episodes? Who's even the audience for it anymore?

CVH

I will not unsubscribe from the podcast if there is a longer gap between episodes. Take the time you need. Thank you for the episodes, no matter how many you produce per month.

Who here remembers Double Exposure on Saturday mornings?

Christoph

What a pleasant surprise! I’ve actually discovered the Talking Simpsons guys through Michael and us and it sent me on a 2 year deep dive on the show and its cultural context

The worst change I noticed was making Barney stop drinking.

Kieran Duffy

Luke, you're forgetting Harrison's three lines earlier in the episode when he showed Homer where the brownies were and thought he was a nice fellow. By the way, how far into Mad Men did you get?

Ciaran Colley

You're forming a union? But (lip wobbles) I thought we were a family? Best Simpsons episode is when Homer becomes a night school teacher - virtually every second line is a classic. The absolute nadir was when Homer apparently invented Grunge music - even the hated Lady Gaga episode was streets ahead of that one. Recent seasons seem a bit better than 10 years ago.

Season 13 the Halloween premiere -- I still can't exactly say why, the even the flawed episodes that came before didn't have the empty, copied tone; specifically Bart makes an entrance where, having watching 3 episodes every day for almost the whole of the 90s , I could tell something was wrong, nothing sounded or moved the same, like someone had hallowed out their characters

Nate

Luke & Will, we hear you, we respect you. We know you want to unionize, which is why we want to offer you these two medium pizzas

Eric

I always support unions except for just this once.

smallcat85

Big false advertising - thought this ep would be about the Simpsons but you have to sit through all the Canadiana…🙄

Martin Nolan

My 4 year old is currently obsessed with Zaboomafoo. Kratt brothers have him nuts for animals at the moment. I will NOT let him hear Will’s baseless slander

The invocation of “family” always gets me. My man, I WISH I had had a union rep to deal with my mom!

Marshall Steinbaum

You guys better do an episode just about the VHS tapes of NDP conventions from the 90s. In fact I want an episode about *each tape*, Studio 60 style.

Will Zabomafoo is a ring tailed lemur, your lack of patriotism can only be atoned for by a full watch through of corner gas.

Jeremy Hawkins

I really appreciate your take on the new simpsons. People have been saying that the simpsons is good again and the thing that is very obvious when you look into how the simpsons got bad was that in the beginning every few years theyd get a new showrunner and a new crew and it stayed fresh. It's went downhill when Al Jean became the showrunner and people said it became good again when he started sharing the title again. Its not even a knock against Al, it's just that things obviously stagnated. And the skepticism towards the new one is based off the fact that the new co showrunner is another guy that's been waiting in line for 20 years. It's relatively fresh, but it's a guy thats been a part of the fórmula for decades.

Thomas

When you were talking about Bullard being interviewed by George stephanopolous where you referring to George Stroumbolopolous? I probably spelled both names wrong but I thought it was funny mixup to make in a conversation about the Canadian inferiority complex.

Iain

I'm gonna give this episode five bags of popcorn and, you know what? A Zoboomafoo too.

Nick Playfair

I absolutely loved the golden age Simpsons, it was my favourite show ever and informed my sense of humour more than anything else. I can distinctly remember the episode that made me jack it in altogether though and looking it up, apparently that was 2002s "The Frying Game". Hard to believe it's still limping on 22 fucking years later
