I just went and looked and I have The Great Boldini:

The Turtles must clear their names when they are believed to be jewel thieves who stole a priceless emerald during a magic act run by a wizard named Boldini.

I have that one too, with the one cop who kept calling them the Teenage Mutant Ninja Leprechauns (which is still a better idea than making them aliens)

I've never understood having new shows at the 8:00pm or 9:00pm time slots in their first season. Community was on at 9:30pm for its first 3 weeks, then moved to 8:00pm after that. Its a testament to the superb quality of the show that it's maintained that time slot for the better part of 3 years, but I wonder if it would be doing even better ratings now if it was sandwiched between two established shows like 30 Rock and the Office during the first season, rather than leading off the night. So many successful shows over the years have benefited from the lead-in of a popular established show during the early part of their run, including the Big Bang Theory which was between How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men when it debuted. Seinfeld was getting crushed in the ratings against Home Improvement when both were on Wednesday night, so they moved it to Thursday nights after Cheers and it became one of the most popular shows of all time. Frasier and Friends then initially had Seinfeld as lead-in during each of their first seasons and they gained popularity translating to Frasier anchoring the Tuesday night lineup while Friends held up the 8:00pm Thursday slot. Dare I say the Joey spin-off might've done better if it was on at 8:30 or 9:30 the first season after a more established show, rather than expecting it to lead off the night. Point being, very few new shows (at least sitcoms) do well when they're put in a position to fail against more established shows on opposing networks. The Cosby Show is one of the few exceptions that did well at 8:00pm Thursday nights and stayed there for its entire 8-season run.

Another talented singer gone too soon

I know, it sucks. But its usually not a wise move to compete with the World Series.

Who's Chris Benoit?

I thought Who was Jim Neidhart

The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open...

yea, I know I killed it

Guess the title of this thread can be changed now since its renewed through 2014

Yea, its on Fox's official site now, so definitely confirmed. Glad to hear it. 25 is a good way to go out if that's the last season, 559 episodes is incredible, for an animated series at that and considering I don't think the Simpsons has ever had more than a new half-hour episode each week all these years (plenty of multiple episodes on one night but just repeats and one new episode). That's why I liked the Simpsons Movie, it gave us more than 22 minutes of Simpsons in one showing. It could go on forever and it'd fine with me too

This really does piss me off. I get that not everyone enjoys the show like they used to. I get that others just plain dislike everything after about Season 8 (Season 4, for some.) I get that the show is not the mega-pop-culture phenomenon it once was. And I get that many other shows have cropped up over the past 20 years that mostly fill any gap this cancellation would leave behind.

But we're talking about a series that arguably made Fox what it is today. There is no other series you can point to that can make a better argument for being "the flagship." Moreover, there have been few shows in the history of television that can boast the overall cultural impact that The Simpsons has had. How many other series can claim to have entered a new word into the English language that perhaps outlasts the show itself? What of the many, many shows that have come (and gone) since this show began that bear the distinct influence of The Simpsons? Hell, just consider the influence on animation, primetime or otherwise. Consider how rare it once was for a primetime comedy to so frequently, directly, and deftly tackle taboo social and political topics. Hell, consider how rare that is today. If you're Fox, you can even ignore nearly all of that and just consider how much fucking money this show has made for you for over two decades. But yeah, the profit margins are slimmer than they once were. That certainly cancels out everything that came before.

I'm not saying the show should never end. It must end, sooner or later, and we've always known that. However, The Simpsons has transcended being just a TV show and has become a cultural institution.

Give it a respectful ending, on its own terms, and respect the people who put in the work to make it happen.

Fuck you, Fox.

Yes! This. A million times this. Like so many of us, I've been a Simpsons fanatic for so many years, in fact since the very beginning on the Tracey Ullman Show when I was just 6 years old, collecting every piece of Simpsons merchandise I can get my hands on in the past 2 decades and will continue to do so. First in line to see the Simpsons Movie and last person to leave the theatre at the end of it. I knew the day would come eventually, but I wasn't prepared for it to happen yet and not in this fashion.

Its been through so much in the past 20 years, even as the landscape of TV has changed. It more than held its own against the Cosby Show for the couple years it was moved to Thursdays. Yes, it may not be as good as it once was, but what could be after nearly 500 episodes? Its still loads better than a lot of the reality crap on TV these days. I can still tolerate Family Guy somewhat, though not as much as a few years ago. Never really got into The Cleveland Show or American Dad and doubt I'd get into a Flintstones reboot, especially if that took the place of The Simpsons. Don't understand how Bob's Burgers even lasted more than a couple episodes, never struck me as the least bit entertaining. But, like has been said, give The Simpsons a respectable ending on its own terms, let it reach 25 seasons, it deserves that much. You don't end a 23+ year run on a show that has broken lots of ground and influenced so many other animated and non-animated shows over the years, you don't cut it off over a squabble about money, not when you still will fork over millions to Jennifer Lopez to appear on American Idol.

I could probably go on past 100 honestly, but the top 10 that come off the top of my head first:

1. Homer Simpson

2. Bart Simpson

3. Mr. Burns

4. Krusty the Clown

5. Abraham Simpson

6. Moe Szyslak

7. Ned Flanders

8. Sideshow Bob

9. Seymour Skinner

10. Ralph Wiggum

Honorable mention: everyone else

I do, I do. Wait, does that make me old?

Our local news (normally in the early mornings) have occasionally been getting some lass called Lara Lewington in to do the weather. Apparently she used to be on Channel 5, but is like freelance now. All I know is she's ridiculously fucking fit, brightens my shitty mornings;

Unfortunately she doesn't do the weather like that. (although she may have done on Channel 5 ). But the power of youtube perverts, here's her doing the South East weather this morning;

Charlie Sheen IS Iron Chef Rockstar Warlock Vatican Assassin From Mars!

I LOL'ed, especially at him threatening a knife with another smaller, knife :lmao:

I agree 3D and everything in HD is way overrated. It doesn't effect my viewing enjoyment any whether something is in HD or not

Ok, I downloaded EWR 4.2, and got the MSVMVB60.DLL error, so I downloaded that and saved it in my System folder. So that's taken care of, but now when I try to open EWR, I get "Run-Time Error '50003'; Unexpected Error"

So what do I do to fix that?

*Nevermind, I updated my Visual Basic and now it works fine.*
