CA: The Simpsons has become a bit of a comfort show for me recently.
CA: I have seen Season 1 - Season 35 multiple times at this point, and I like keeping up with new episodes when possible.
CA: I remember being a kid and being terrified of the Itchy & Scratchy Show episode shown in Little Girl in the Big Ten (the episode where Lisa goes to college), where Itchy feeds Scratchy to a cow and Scratchy is digested by all four stomachs before being churned into butter by Itchy.
CA: I also remember being scared at part of the Treehouse of Horror XII segment House of Whacks, where a Smart House attempts to kill Homer, and they show part of his exposed brain.
CA: I still find it funny that, when an English teacher tried to get us interested in Edgar Allen Poe by showing us the Treehouse of Horror segment about "The Raven," my takeaway was "Wow! I'll give The Simpsons another try!" instead of the clearly intended effect of "Wow! Edgar Allen Poe is cool!"
CA: I guess that's a fun way for a lesson to backfire.
CA: While I'm not thrilled that Disney now owns the series, I do find some of the newer episodes to be well-written and fun, so hopefully that continues!
