Short version: In 2021 we'll be alternating between season 2 and 12 every week!

Long version: Hello everyone! As you may have seen, we polled our Patreon users to see if they'd prefer that we start our 2021 podcasts by revisiting season 2 of The Simpsons OR continuing on to season 12. The results to date of over 750 subscribers split with 70% for season 2, and 30% for season 12.

While season 2 is the two-to-one favorite, we were reading in the comments some great suggestions and realized there was a happier compromise for this idea. And so, as we explain more thoroughly in the attached podcast, starting next January we'll be doing an episode of season 2 one week, and then a season 12 episode the next. So Bart Gets An "F" will be followed by Treehouse of Horror XI, which will be followed by Simpson and Delilah, and so on!

We also wanted to let you all know we're amending our $15,000 a month Patreon goal. Previously that had been a third yearly miniseries, but we decided a better change would be, in 2021, making Talking Futurama a monthly exclusive podcast for our $5+ Patreon subscribers in addition to all the other current bonus content.

Be sure to listen to the podcast for some more context on our reasoning for these changes. Thanks as always for your fantastic support—we couldn't do it without you!!!

We are one step closer to Talking Duckman

Alex Irish

What an Onix-pected turn of events!

Codeaholic

Woot hoo! Best of both! Way to go all clever on us! I like this tactic a lot. Maybe more TalKing of the Hill too

DrKarate

Awesome! I kinda would have rathee done all of season 2 before moving on to 12, as the total shift in episodes is probably gunna be weird but, I totally understand you guys wanting to do it this way

Neil L

Great ideas all around

Neil Harris

This will be interesting to hear these two seasons discussed back to back like this, one as the show was ascendant, the other as it was losing steam. Good idea 👍

Mikey Cox

Good idea, kudos to whomever came up with it.

Harry Thornton

Awesome, this is a great way to split the difference!

I hadn't thought about this possibility before, but it sounds good to me. Hitting that milestone for guaranteed Talking Futurama would also be AMAZING, and hopefully stack the mini-series poll in favour of Duckman sometime...

nina matsumoto

This is a great compromise. Best of both worlds.

SomeBloke

While I like this compromise, I can't help but see that Talking Futurama plan as part of Bob's diabolical plot to get Talking Duckman to happen.

Excellent compromise. Although my brain won't stop repeating "Very well... Season Two for some, miniature American flags for others!"

Is the monthly movie podcast sticking around?

treby

This is great because I just went back and listened to the old season 2 podcasts in the past couple of weeks. I'm eager for you guys to give it the 'modern' treatment.

Burt Stanton

I am disappointed to see that the Patreon dollars have decreased since the Season 2 revisit announcement. I will be increasing my amount by a few dollars and I hope that others will throw in a dollar or two. Bob and Henery have been very good to their Patrons and I would love to see this hit the 15k mark.

I am delighted by the prospect of a fulltime Taking Futurama as it's a series I love on pretty much the same level I do classic Simpsons (at least the Fox years). And it looks like I'm not alone as it certainly seems like it's tracking as an annual mini series since it wins the polls comfortably. Again, at least until you guys get through the Fox years. This should hopefully make your other mini series polls a bit more exciting and less predictable, though it wouldn't shock me if King of the Hill assumes the present Futurama role.
