Lisa Simpson taught me what schadenfreude is. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

@otto mann empire: I always thought Bongo Comics was a callback to the character Bongo from Life In Hell. Maybe it's both.

Glad I'm not the only one.

@zxcvb and @CultOfRingo: Regarding the race thing, I think it would actually be really cool to visit China shortly after they kicked the Mongols out. Just as Europe was suffering through the worst of the Black Plague, mainland Asia was enjoying their version of the Renaissance.

We never had this on VHS, but we did tape The Facts Of Life Goes To Australia. Also, Family Ties Goes To England.

Tom And Lorenzo's write up of Oddjob is pretty brilliant:

They were able to tie it in with Plastic Ono Band.

Yeah, that extra 30 minutes causes drama in the Casa De Queso because it's on at the same time as new episodes of Futurama.
