FoxTick Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 i apologize for yet another off topic post, but this is a very important topic for most of us on this board. for over five years, i have had the same routine when i come home from work. i come home, i pet my cat, i crack a cold one and i watch the Simpsons. (they come one at 5pm and 6pm) now i dont watch a lot of TV, but the Simpsons is about the only show i really care about. (that and South Park) today was different....i turn my TV on at 5pm like i always do, but wait something is terribly wrong...the Simpsons aren't on!!! :mad: :mad: WTF????? they replaced it with 3rd Rock from the sun! :mad: i check the program guide and, no Simpsons in sight! i am so pissed!! whoever is the program director for KQCA channel 58 (the WB) has f**ked up....the Simpsons is the only reason i ever watch that stupid channel..now i have no reason...stupid frog. this sucks, i'm already going through withdrawls...i'm shaking, i feel dizzy, i have this overwhelming urge to do something productive...(like make music)...i need my Simpsons! heeeeellp!!! i am sorry, but this is something i had to get off of my chest...i am sure that fellow Simpsons fans can feel my pain....thanks for listening (reading) has this happened to anyone else? 0096 2251 2110 8105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknputer Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 As a fellow Simpsons fan, I feel your pain... :freak: But - take the time to get into 3rd Rock. It's a weird-ass show that's funny in many of the same ways as The Simpsons. Plus, they have one of the coolest theme songs on TV! :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Time to reprogram your set. FOX does the same thing here in Denver, only at 4:30 and 5:30, with bouts of King of The Hill in between. Today's episodes were the family patronizes the country club (4:30) and Bart shoplifts (5:30). "You there! Fill it up with peroleum dis-til-late, and re-vulcanize my tires, post haste!" I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Leites Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 D'OH!!! Outstanding satire! My wife thinks I'm a little off for watching it, but I think it's fantastic. Well, she never got Jean Sheperd either. (The story teller, not the country singer).

monster Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I discovered The Simpsons late. Are they still being made? I've got a similar post work routine but the episodes are back to back at six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yeah, still being made, although there have been recent articles where the subject of the end of the show was lightly discussed. My fiance'/wife was living in Italy when the Simpsons came out; she's only been back for about four years, and never watched the show until she met me. Now, she races to see the intro, for whatever Bart scribbles on the board and whatever happens to the family in the living room. She loves the show. Kinda like when I was a kid, and Dad and I would watch the intro to the Dick VanDyke Show, to see if it was one of the funny ones or not. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

bond1 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yeah its the same routine for me too. 6-7pm is Simspons time. Used to be on at 11pm and was a nice way to wind down before going to bed. :bor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 My brother won't even talk to family on the phone when the Simpsons are on. Kind of annoying when you call long distance.

Super 8 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I feel your pain. I once enjoyed the Simpsons everyday at 5:30, and then they yanked them so we could have back to back Tool Time or something. Fortunatly by that time, I had over 30 VHS tapes, each containing 6 commercial free episodes. So life was able to continue somewhat comfortably for me. But woe to those poor souls who did not prepare. I thought that for the first 8 or 9 seasons, The Simpsons was the most consistantly funny program I've ever seen. Pure genious. I'd say that after the 9th season it's been much more hit and miss. I hope they have the good sense to know when it's time to end it. Futurama was a great show too. It was culled off before it even had a chance to become boring.

Dylan Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 No daily dose of Simpsons :eek: ! I don't know how I'd live without it, nevermind the fact that I've seen every episode at least 5 times :D . If it happened in my town I'd march my ass down to the local network and wouldn't leave until it was back on the air. Nah, who am I kidding, I'd just go on Morpheus and try to download all of the episodes :idea: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxTick Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 well, the WB is still without the Simpsons. there is still hope. the small tv in my studio can sometimes get KBHK out of the bay area. they play the Simpsons at 6 and 7:30. then there is KCVU out of Chico which is further away but can still get a signal. i need one of them big rotating TV antennas on top of my roof...just so i can watch the Simpsons. :D the closest i got to watching the Simpsons this week was last night's episode of South Park. 0096 2251 2110 8105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp3nc3r Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 For a while, CBC was pre-empting daily episodes of Simpsons (one of my three reasons to live) with assinying FIFA World Cup soccer - SUPER PISSED!!! I come home from making music all day, and craving to watch the most intelligent show EVER and lame-ass soccer was on!!! Rotten. I can't wait for it to be over.
