Download The Simpsons

Homer finally managed to prove his skills to the world, when he came out with his fictional novel, exclusively for tweens.

Well, we understand that a creator has to often give in to a lot of pressure from a highly commercial world; but we also understand and acknowledge that at the end of the day, it all depends on the intensity of the circumstances sandwiching the creator.

He might not want to compromise on his creativity and his output at all!

Homer reflects similar traits of a creator, who turns unhappy the very moment he is informed of changes in the structure of his heart-felt novel.

It was difficult for even Lisa to keep her mouth shut and watch all that was dealt out to Homer, for all his efforts, by the publisher.

The events disturb Lisa, and inject a lot of curiosity into her, to unravel the secret mechanisms of the publishing industry.

To her horror, she comes face-to-face with the hard realities of this industry that compels her to arrive at a decision, to come up with her novel, all by herself!

Simpsons season 23 episode 7 will see a depressed Homer, giving in to worldly pressures, by accepting the job of an accounts executive for Mr. Burns, with an advertising professional, as his mentor.

Though, it seems Homer is trying his very best to divert his mind from all that happened at the publishing house, he isn’t quite able to mentally get rid of the entire incident, so soon.

After all that happened, we will see Homer, losing interest in his family and relations, and evolve as an absolute loner.

The effects of the same incident on Bart are terrible, as he loses interest in fictional novels, altogether.

On the other hand, Simpsons season 23 episode 8 can expect the introduction of Annie, a brand new agent into Krusty, the clown’s life.

Kavner is a typical momma: caring, understanding and bearing with the tantrums of her hubby and kiddos!

But that certainly doesn’t make Marge Simpson, the character Kavner lent her voice to, any less unique; she continues to rule our hearts anyway!

The array of utterly affable characters makes it a compulsion for each and everyone to go for a Simpsons download and catch up with this amazing anime series!

One always needs to watch out for the theme of its successive installments that aim to lampoon the various aspects of issues that mark the canvass of our society!

Now, we have come across this good news that Kavner has turned out to be an inspiration for a portrait!

Details of this buzz go something like this - actors hailing from the one-act comedy, Relatively Speaking, by Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen, have traipsed off the drawings by Ken Fallin.

In case you thought they are real life-sized beauteous portraits, let me clarify that they are caricatures indeed!

Come on guys, nothing titillates more than humor; and unintended pun is always welcome!

Coming to this caricature, all the five women in it look amazingly comic, and laughter is definitely guaranteed. There couldn’t have been a better portrayal of Ms. Kevner, considering the image of Marge is mind.

Well, good job Ms. Kavner!

Even Mrs. Simpson would be basking in the glory, as she is finally able to come out of that stereotyped image and make a dent indeed!

Lisa is still a novice to the ‘tween lit’ industry. Well, there wasn’t any direction, delivered in the open, from the creators regarding this, except for Lisa’s recent discovery that cast her character in a similar light.

Till now, she wasn’t exposed to the ‘lethal strategy pizzas’ that are cooked pretty often in the corporate world. They are carefully cooked by highly qualified professionals, using all their expertise and wits so that the competitors vanish from competition.

When she comes face-to-face with some startling revelations about the ‘tween lit’ industry and its fantasy characters, that she had been worshiping all her life, we can watch her getting caught on the wrong foot with her first taste of the corporate pizza.

Simpsons season 23 episode 5 has Lisa experiencing one of the worst excursions of her life, and from trailers of the upcoming segment, we guess some more trouble is awaiting her in the near future.

Simpsons season 23 episode 6 sees Homer, the head of the family, happy at the turn of events. He assumes it as the perfect moment to pep up the team’s crushed morale, and get on with writing their new tween lit novel. We will catch him getting his team ready to work along the fantasy exponent, Neil Gaiman. He would be adding professionalism to the novel, something that would certainly push them to fame in no time.

The team spins magic at the Springfield Book Fair. Much to their surprise, they find the corporate world doing away with their work even before they could react.

They receive copies of their work, well in advance, along with the understanding that on the corporate level, writing was big business- pizza that they are yet to taste.

Ok. So he is lackadaisical in approach towards work, but then, this is what his persona is all about!

In fact, it’s through these idiosyncratic ways that he manages to lampoon at the system, you may like it, abhor it, or simply laugh your heart out, but that’s how our beloved protagonist, Homer Simpson is like!

Tune in to Simpsons season 23 episode 4 once it is aired, and catch up with the man yet again, who would be encountering a precarious situation this time!

This upcoming batch will make for an interesting watch, as Homer’s new assistant Roz (voiced by Jane Lynch) would try and snag her superior’s job!

Is Homer’s job in danger? At least, it seems so at the very outset of it!

Well, Roz seems to be a wily character, who would give Homer a tough time indeed!

Titled ‘Replaceable You’, this installment is due to be aired on November 6, 2011.

In an almost atrociously wily way, Roz, by all means, would initially try to impress Homer and then spoil things, thereby putting his position at stake and replacing him at the end of it!

Poor chap! I must admit that he needs to be on his guard before Roz turns out to be a bigger menace than he can even imagine!

Seems like creators are in a mood to add some realistic notions to the show, for such ‘office politics’ has become an inherent part of many organizations these days!

This family and their eccentricities have tickled us so affably that life seems incomplete without them!

For us, Homer Simpson and his wacky family members are not mere characters that we see around us, which is one reason why the show has gone down so very well with the gentry.

Tune in to Simpsons episodes and catch up with Homer, his wife, and the couple’s three kids that go about life in their own ways; their acts appear weird yet are perfectly justified, when looked at from their perspective.

Recently, the Chief Operating Officer of the Fox Channel, Chase Carey, sent flutters across by announcing that the Simpsons household could harp on to the route of a brand new channel in near future!

Wow! I’m sure that exclamation might have come naturally to you too.

If that happens, I will quit my job, err, not quit, but go on a long sabbatical to sit at home and enjoy my favorite satirical cartoon series whole day long!

However, the bright prospect of seeing the yellow family via a new channel is marred by certain ambiguities as well.

For instance, the show is still on air, it has not been shelved yet and there is this intricate maze of syndication deals that need to be sorted out first.

Well, we do hope that Mr. Chase finds a way out soon, as the channel has the potential of shooting the revenues of his corporation like anything!

The very idea of having Simpsons’ rant quivering all around, 24×7, seems to be very appealing to me.

That gives me inkling if I’m going to turn into a bizarre ‘Simpson-phillic’; no, it’s not as eerie as you suppose it to be!

While writing blogs for Simpsons, I have often tried putting down the reasons that significantly contribute towards the success of this series.

I did come up with quite a few reasons and tried narrowing down to the most important one. According to me, Simpsons has maintained its family-centric plot for over 23 seasons, and the script has been developed in a manner to give equal importance to each family member.

Like the previous episode dealt completely with Bart’s newfound interest in his history books. It focused completely on incidents that for the first time inculcated Bart’s interest in the subject of history.

He also realized the importance of a good teacher, as he dared to take the entire school as hostage in return for the reinstatement of Chalmers as a member of the school’s faculty.

So, that was Bart’s tryst with the meaning and purpose of academics; the upcoming episode completely shifts focus to his mother, Mrs. Marge Simpsons. Marge is tired with handling the mundane household chores on a daily basis and expresses that she is jealous of her husband for not leaving any opportunity for her to have fun with the children.

In Simpsons season 23 episode 3, Marge is angry over the fact that Homer is the one always enjoying with the kids while the household chores keep her busy.

Marge and the kids happen to get an opportunity to feast on some Ethiopian delicacies, after which they decide to express their satisfaction derived from the food (and the specialty of the cuisine) through a food blog. And so they start one.

Well, get ready to watch Marge having all the fun with the children this time, with Homer experiencing a feeling of boycott (left out)!

Principal Skinner was still recovering from the shock of the debacle that Bart and his band had caused at the fundraising ceremony of the school. For him, Bart had transcended to a classification of kids, which according to him, was impossible to train and educate in the desired manner.

Simpsons season 23 episode 2 will have Principal Skinner challenging Superintendent Chalmers to try and experience teaching Bart and his band for a while.

Chalmers confidently takes up the challenge, and decides to adopt unusual methods to teach the kids.

And it is here that we will stumble upon all the magic spun by the teacher in a single confrontation with his new band of defamed students. They will be seen all interested and curious to know more about the US president Theodore Roosevelt.

This was no less an achievement for Gary, and he realizes that it is high time that kids discovere fun in the entire process of reading and educating themselves.

Hovering upon thoughts like these, Gary would be seen taking the kids for an unauthorized night-out to Springfield forest, and then as a consequence, will be facing the brunt of Principal’s anger.

He is fired from his job, which will give us the opportunity to watch Bart and his band of “Rough Riders” plan out to take the school hostage, till Gary is apologetically re-instated on the school’s pay list.

For the first time, they have been blessed with a teacher, who could unravel their interest to educate them in the first place, which, in itself is strong enough a reason for them to put their plan into action.

His idiosyncrasies and ways of going about things in life have escalated him from the stature of being merely a common man!

He’s our celebrity you see!

Tune in to Simpsons season 23 episode 1 once it is aired, and meet Homer Simpson. He is the patriarch of the Simpsons family, a typical man clichéd in his ways, as his lackadaisical attitude, beliefs and notions symbolize the person that most of us are in reality.

Homer, along with his family, comprising of his wife and three kids go about the hocus-pocus erupting in their daily lives, in a manner that lampoons at the prevalent system and institutions of our society.

In the upcoming part, Homer would be striking a brilliant equation with his new colleague, Wayne, at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.

Titled as ‘The Falcon and the D’ohman’, the upcoming episode is due to be aired on September 25, 2011.

Wayne has been appointed as the new security guard, and he would have to spring into action soon, not for the sake of the organization, but to save Homer from an imminent peril!

Catch Simpsons season 23 premiere and see Wayne riffling through his past that has its bearing on the coveted CIA, as an emergency situation gets created with Homer becoming the captive of a Ukrainian terrorist.

Meanwhile, Homer’s wife Marge is living in a la-la land of her own, as she plans to participate in the reality show, Top Chef.

Well, I don’t know how she would fare, when her culinary skills would be put to test! Isn’t she bothered about her hubby?

It is this nonplussed behavior of this family that makes them stand out, yet making them the very part of our close circle!

As Mr. Burns, the character he voices on this celebrated anime show Simpsons, he is emblematic of all the muck that one can associate with the American corporate sector.

He does deserve loads of credits, for apart from the principal characters, we watch Simpsons online just to catch a glimpse of this recurring character.

He is vicious in whatever way one perceives him. As Homer Simpson’s boss, he creates a virtual hell for his employees, leaving little space to breathe! What’s more, he doesn’t even remember names of those, who render their services to him!

You can always take the download course and bump into this malicious yet funny character, whose idiosyncrasies do make for a good humor quotient!

Harry Shearer, the voice-over artist for Mr. Burns is in news these days, because of his latest documentary, The Big Uneasy.

This documentary deals with a very serious and sensitive issue; it tries to unravel the deeds of the Army Corps of Engineers and the botches they committed, while a city was being ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Harry has made an attempt to highlight the infrastructure failings that could not contain this natural monster.

While we really don’t know how the audience would react to this, Mr. Shearer does deserve praise for mustering the courage to showcase the blips and bring them out in open!

In fact that’s in contrast to the character that he lends his voice to. And indeed, such forthright men are the need of the hour, these latent whistle-blowers, who don’t fear one bit in taking brave stand!

I’m highly impressed with this audacious dido of Harry Shearer, and would look out for more on similar lines!

Having won so many prestigious awards, it did not come as a surprise to Matt’s fans. Everyone knew Matt Groening will join this elite group sooner or later.

Finally, the announcement has been made by The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce that Matt Groening, the legendary creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, is among the 25 new recipients of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.

The budding artists can get a huge inspiration from the success story of Matt. He did not have much interest in academics and in order to keep himself amused, he would draw during class.

In fact, he was so good at drawing that he could sketch without looking, so that the teacher would think he is paying attention. After graduating, Groening moved to L.A and created a comic strip called Life in Hell, which featured in the Los Angeles Reader.

Another unknown fact about Matt has come out recently. When he was still struggling, he worked on an early advertising campaign for Apple to draw cartoons in a brochure. The brochures were designed to convince students to buy a personal computer.

Matt Groening has evolved into a cartoonist, screenwriter, producer and a satirist as well. No one will argue that his working class animated sitcom The Simpsons is his best work so far.

Showing his exemplary brilliance, Matt designed the five members of the Simpsons family in only 15 minutes. Since its debut, The Simpsons has taken the world by storm and has won dozens of awards.

The ardent fans of the show can watch Simpsons online and can also, for added elasticity, download this landmark series to view it at their discretion, anytime, anywhere.

The genius of Matt Groening cannot ever be summarized, no matter how hard one may try. Matt once famously quoted that good things don’t end in ‘eum,’ they end in ‘mania’…or ‘teria’.

We hope Mattmania keeps enchanting us for many and many decades to come!
