Watching the MNF Simpsons broadcast……
1. I’m just amazed as the plays are just about 20 seconds behind the actual broadcast…..

2. The announcers are great weaving the game and so many Simpsons references together.

I’m a football purist…..but I’ve found myself watching the Simpsons broadcast instead.

Really clever stuff.

I'm glad no one had a cow man complaining about technical issues, however slight, and the enthusiasm was Excellent.....and the long-time, beloved Simpsons voice characters refreshing their roles did a great job interspersed with a real live actual MNF game.

FWIW, I'm actually glad the Cowboys found a way to Leon Left a new way via Micah Parsons touching the ball after they've already blocked a Bengals punt and consequently, gave Cincy new life to finally win the game.

I’ve never watched that show. May have to give it a try, heard so much about it over the years.

You have 36 seasons, about 30+ plus Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials, and one full-length feature movie to catch up on. That's a significantly tall task to execute plus quite a few fans of the show who are in their late 40's/early 50's right now werent even in HS or college when the sitcom first starting airing full-time in 1989 and not as a crudely-designed, hard-to-follow short animated series that aired during the Tracey Ullman Show on Fox in the summer of 1987.

Nearly two generations of Americans and fans worldwide have loved, hated, respected, adored, lost faith or reliance in the quality and competency of the script-writing, episodic plots, losing and gaining key characters, some original voice actors/actresses dying and being retired, but the Simpsons still remains an American treasure, an icon worth holding on to and being a wonderful, cinematic beacon to our childhoods and a more simpler, happier time.

Wow!
If the show is half as good as that write up I’m in for a treat. Truly will give it a whirl now. I was 10 when it first aired…..better late than never lol.

Start from the beginning

Seasons 3-7 are as good a run as any TV show has ever had

Haven’t watched in ages though

Mina Kimes' enthusiam for the Ralph Wiggum TD was genuinely endearing. I still don't know who actually scored on that play.

Mina is apparently a HUGE Simpsons fan and did a lot of homework for the broadcast. She just released a fun video that shows the behind-the-scenes work on the broadcast. She slipped in a good "Hugh Jazz" joke on Orlovsky.
