Holy shit, will I really be settling in tonight to watch my eighteenth season premiere of "The Simpsons". Can that be possible? Let's see... 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Yep, that's 18. Holy shit. I've written
IGN.com has come up with a list of the top 25 guest appearances in the seventeen year history of "The Simpsons". I've often contemplated writing such a list, but IGN.com beat me to the punch. Here's their top 25. #25: Glenn Close #24: Aerosmith #23: The Hullapalooza Performers
"The Simpsons: The Complete Eighth Season" is now in stores and Maggie is on the cover. I own the previous seven seasons, in fact, seasons of "The Simpsons" are pretty well the only DVDs I collect. Things were going swimmingly for the first five season and then they introduced the
Season 8 of "The Simpsons" will be available August 15. This is the season that brought us "You Only Move Twice", "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" and "Homer's Enemy". Since the only DVDs I collect are seasons of "The Simpsons", I'm certain this one will find its
The Simpsons Movie Trailer - This is the teaser trailer you've read about. Ex-cel-lent.
I've marked July 27, 2007 on my Sunbird calendar. That's the day "The Simpsons" movie will be released. There's a teaser trailer airing prior to "Ice Age: The Meltdown." It's been a long time coming, it's been a long, long, long time running, it's well worth the wait.
On March 4th I linked to "The Simpsons" opening reenacted by real people. It was spot on, created by Sky One, a channel in the United Kingdom airing the show. This Sunday, that same reenactment will precede the episode of "The Simpsons". Another reason to look forward to Sunday night's
Fox has renewed "The Simpsons" for at least two more years. That will put it in its nineteenth season and will guarantee a 400th episode airing sometime during the 2007-08 season. I've written a tonne about this show over the years, and when I finally migrate all my old entries
I closed my last entry about the real life Simpsons intro with the expression "cowabunga!". After I posted it, I realized that Bart almost never says that anymore. In fact, I don't think I've heard the term since the early 90s. This got me looking for the origin of the
I've spent a great deal of my life in Springfield, living precariously through my favourite tv family. I was fifteen when "The Simpsons" debuted and I was on it like Troy McClure on a trout from the beginning. I even remember them from "The Tracey Ullman Show" in the late
Television shows seemed better when I was a kid. After school, I could become immersed in crap like "The Facts of Life", "Who's The Boss?", "Growing Pains" or "Silver Spoons". Then, there were old-school favourites like "The Dukes of Hazzard", "WKRP in Cincinnati", "Three's Company", "Night Court" and "The A-Team"
Last Valentine's Day, I spouted off about how contrived I think this artificial Hallmark holiday is. This year, I'm going to celebrate one exceptional thing that has come from this date on the calendar: I Love Lisa. Originally airing on February 11, 1993, The Simpsons episode "I Love Lisa" is
You learn a great deal about what goes on behind the scenes at "The Simpsons" by listening to the commentaries on the DVDs. When I get a season of "The Simpsons" on DVD, the first thing I do is watch each episode once with the commentary on, which irks James
For the second Christmas in a row, Steve and I exchanged the exact same gift. Last year we gave each other The Simpsons Season Five on DVD. This year, keeping with tradition, we exchanged The Simpsons Season Seven on DVD. It's exactly what he wanted and it's exactly what I
When Americans travel in Europe, do they really stitch a Canadian flag into their back pack and pose as Canucks? I've often heard about this and yesterday on "The Simpsons" Lisa did just that before their trip to Italy. Is this practice merely an urban legend or does it actually
Earlier today I was invited to a holiday luncheon featuring a bunch of sushi. I'm not really a sushi guy, but I immediately thought of Homer. Homer wasn't a sushi guy either, but he tried it for Lisa and ended up loving it. Of course, it almost killed him, but
There was a great exchange between Marge and Bart last night on "The Simpsons". While riding a bicycle built for two, they begin singing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" together. We witness them singing the following verse about our very own Neil Young. Well, I heard Mister Young sing about
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. A question struck me last night while watching an episode of The Simpsons, and I of course thought of you. I would be curious to know what episode of The Simpsons
Following the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, a great deal was made about fact The Tragically Hip's "New Orleans is Sinking" was removed from playlists out of respect for those victimized by Katrina's wrath. It was a sensible move and I remember thinking at the time that "A Streetcar Named
Made-up words in The Simpsons - The Simpsons has coined some new words and phrases, popularized some existing words and phrases, and also used some existing words and phrases in new ways. This page lists all three.
I just realized the date of the first quote posted on my Homer Jay Simpson's Quote of the Week page is October 8, 2003. That means I've been posting a quote from my cartoon hero every Saturday morning for over two years. Back in the days before the blog I
Season 7 of "The Simpsons" will be available December 13, just in time for Christmas. This is the season that brought us "Bart Sells His Soul", "Lisa the Vegetarian", "Fish Called Selma" and the ultra cool "Short Films About Springfield". The only DVDs I collect are seasons of "The Simpsons"
I happen to enjoy "Family Guy", but it's clearly inpired by "The Simpsons". Mad Magazine transformed the Griffin family into the Simpsons in their latest issue and you can check out the cool cover in this PDF. During my drive to work I pass a billboard for Global TV with
Fox isn't making us wait this year. For the past few years, the season premiere of "The Simpsons" has aired after the World Series. That has meant either late October or early November and that has meant the first episode has been the annual Halloween episode. This season we're blessed
