The Simpsons

What about the episode where Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone? He strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones.

Excellent line up. Very impressed.

You’ll be on the couch from 7.30pm to 11.30pm?

I enjoyed tonight’s Season 30 debut, I reckon one of the better efforts, interested in thoughts?

Yeah me too. Good all-round episode with no gimmicks. Even a few laughs.

Curious to know, how many years did Seven pick up the rights for?

Looks like 7mate is increasing its output, according to advanced guides.

There’ll be episodes nearly every night from its old 2000s traditional timeslot of 6pm, as well as others during afternoons from around midday.

Possibly a non-ratings period thing.

6pm nearly every night? I only see 6pm on Friday?

There is a chance this could be pre-empted by Cricket coverage in some markets.

From what I can see, 7mate will still only be airing 4 episodes per week, with double episodes from Season 15 on Wednesday 7.30 and Thursday 7.30.

Under the rights deal, I believe they get a free encore which can air anytime in the 24 hours following the initial airing, so there are some replays of the same episodes scheduled at different times on the following days (Thursday 5.00pm and Friday 6.00pm).

To me, it’s physically impossible to write out Apu from the show. Season 30’s episode writing has been dun ‘n’ dusted, so there is no way for a episode about the Kwik-E-Mart closing forever to happen.

BTW has a deal for more seasons been signed recently?

There is a physical way it’s called typing up a script. I wouldn’t worry too much the kwiki mart won’t disssapear along with Apu.

How did they write out Mrs Krappabul when the actress passed away a few years ago?

Edna Krabappel died after Marcia Wallace, who voiced her, passed away.

From wikipedia:

The series first acknowledged Wallace’s passing in the episode in the opening sequence was changed to read a single “We’ll really miss you Mrs. K”. The episode “The Man Who Grew Too Much” later showed Ned Flanders wearing a black armband and mourning Edna, whose portrait joined that of Maude, Ned’s first wife. In “Moho House” she appears as a ghost with Maude when Marge looks at everyone enjoying their spouses.
