Riiiight, because no one else is talking about it anywhere.
RR: "IIIIIIIIIII…caaan suuue ANYone!"
Depends on the family member, depends on the stranger, I guess?
I was horrified when I read the title. I was slightly less horrified when I learned that it wasn't his own family that he peed on.
For sure, but unlike a lot of franchises, the core cast has remained incredibly stable. That's usually how most other cult franchises differentiate themselves from year to year, but when it comes to the Simpsons, you have no choice but to look behind the scenes.
We're one year away from 1998 Week at the ol' AV Club, and when we are (if everyone's still alive by then), it might finally be time to talk in earnest about the [shudder] 90's Swing Revival.

Speak for yourself. Some of us enjoy a bit of the ol' pie-finger, especially on the weekends.
Who wants to go back to the Wild West days?
Maaaaan, for a group consisting largely of outspoken progressives, we are surprisingly resistant to change.
Will cats and dogs still be living separately, though?
Migration, circa 1917: "We've arrived in a strange hostile country with nothing but the clothes on our backs and no grasp of the language, but dammit we're going to pull through and survive!"
