Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN. The Episode is called “I Am Furious Yellow“!
PLOT:
Milhouse’s dad, Kirk, gives a speech to the kids at school. Due to how boring the speech was, Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel take Lisa’s advice and visit the Springfield Writer’s Forum to find a better speaker. They find Jeff Jenkins, creator of a popular TV cartoon, Danger Dog. He comes to the school to give a presentation and fascinates the kids by telling them about the cartoon industry.
Soon all the kids start drawing their own cartoon characters (which are rip-offs of Danger Dog). Bart’s comic is deemed lame by both Comic Book Guy and Stan Lee but Stan encourages Bart to still try. Bart comes up with a hero called Angry Dad, based on the angry outbursts of his father, Homer. He starts drawing comics based on this character.
Bart rolls out the first issue of Angry Dad, which becomes a hit with the kids in school. Comic Book Guy also likes it, and displays the comic in his store. During an autograph signing session in the schoolyard, Bart is approached by a spokesman for an Internet company. He wants to make Angry Dad into an online animated cartoon series. Bart agrees.
The cartoon becomes an Internet hit. The only one still unaware of Angry Dad is the inspiration himself, Homer. When Homer does find out, he of course becomes very angry, but his family calms him down and suggests that he address his anger issues. Homer decides to become calm and suppress his rage from that point on. No matter what rage-provoking incidents occur (ex: a mob of Springfieldians attack his car to get him to go ballistic), he maintains his cool, but with great difficulty. Every time he does so, though, he develops a lump or two on his neck, which he pushes down. Homer’s new calm demeanor has also taken away Bart’s inspiration for his cartoon.
Bart, not wanting to do a clip show, sets up a trap for Homer, meant to trigger another outburst. Later, they go to the internet company office, where they find the company has gone bankrupt. Bart races home to save his father from the trap, which is no longer needed.
Homer reaches home and sees a sign for free donuts in the treehouse, stuck to the door. When he climbs up to get them, he falls through a carpet-covered hole and gets hung upside-down on the laundry line, which starts moving. He passes through a bunch of strategically-placed cacti and then through some dirty diapers. Many lumps on his neck later, he gets to the end of the line, where he finds a pair of scissors to cut himself down. Relieved, he does so, and falls into a tub full of green paint. Homer, now covered in green, closely resembles The Incredible Hulk as he storms through town, raging and punching things around, screaming “Homer mad! Homer smash! Get revenge on world!” Luckily, the cops arrive and restrain him.
Homer is admitted to the hospital, where Marge angrily berates Bart for aggravating Homer’s rage and causing $10 million in damages. However, Dr. Hibbert arrives and tells her that Bart actually saved Homer’s life by enraging him. The lumps on his neck, Hibbert explains, were actually suppressed rage and could have overwhelmed Homer’s nervous system.Couch gag: couch as normal. A crane game clamp comes down and picks up Homer. Homer screams, “Ow! My brain!” as he’s being lifted.

Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN! The Episode is called “The PTA Disbands“!
PLOT:
After a failed attempt at a school field trip, which appears to have caused the apparent abandonment and brutal beating of the student Üter, Edna Krabappel calls an emergency strike on behalf of the Teachers‘ Union of Springfield Elementary, to protest against Principal Skinner‘s miserly spending on school supplies and activities.
As the Teachers’ strike results in the closing of the school, the various student characters respond to the sudden turn of events in their own ways: Lisa becomes increasingly obsessive in her desire to be graded, Milhouse is forced by his parents to take private tutoring lessons (which improve his education), Jimbo Jones finds himself immersed in the intricacies of daytime soap operas with his mother, Dolph and Kearney become easily bored with video games, and Bart revels in his newfound afternoon freedom and annoys many Springfield citizens by imitating other people to make them angry or hurt each other. In particular, Bart does what he can to keep the union and Principal Skinner at odds with each other. The two sides are at an impasse; the union wanting a restoration of funding and Skinner maintaining that even with the spending reductions he has made, government budget cuts have squeezed the school dry.
After some prompting from an exasperated Marge Simpson, the parents of Springfield eventually decide to take matters into their own hands, and recruit volunteers from the community to take over as temporary teachers. This turns out to be even worse for the students than before the strike, especially as Marge becomes Bart’s new teacher and Jasper becomes Lisa’s new teacher and gets his beard stuck in a pencil sharpener. Due to Marge’s excessive mothering of Bart, he grudgingly resolves to force the strike negotiations forward. Together with Milhouse, he tricks both Krabappel and Principal Skinner into entering Skinner’s office, which he then locks behind them. After spending several hours trapped together “like prisoners” in their own school, the two are mutually inspired with an idea to create extra revenue for more school spending. Things return to normal with the old teachers in charge, but with the school cloakrooms having been rented to the Springfield Prison. Each classroom now features several full prison cells at the back, which have the added benefit of keeping the more troublesome students in line.Couch Gag: The living room is modeled after M. C. Escher‘s Relativity and the family runs in through the many complex and conflicting dimensions.
Chalkboard: “I do not have power of attorney over first graders.”

Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN! The Episode is called “Radioactive Man“!
PLOT:
Bart and Milhouse are thrilled to hear that a film version of their favorite comic book series, Radioactive Man, is in production. Rainier Wolfcastle, the star of the McBain films, is chosen to play Radioactive Man, and even more excitingly for the Springfield Elementary School children, the production moves to their town. A search is launched for a young actor to play Radioactive Man’s sidekick Fallout Boy, and Bart auditions. Bart does well, but is rejected because he is an inch too short, and by this point Milhouse has already taken the part, albeit reluctantly.
A despondent Bart is told by Lisa that he is still needed as Milhouse’s friend and confidant, and Bart eagerly accepts this new role. However, Milhouse finds his own job intolerable and disappears, right during the filming of the most expensive scene in the movie. The film is suspended while the townspeople search for Milhouse. Eventually Bart finds him in the treehouse, but despite encouragement from former child star Mickey Rooney, Milhouse gives up on his acting career. All production on the film is aborted, with the project bankrupt, thanks to price gouging and other unscrupulous conduct by the people of Springfield. Despite Rooney’s stern lecture about their selfish greed, Mayor Quimby insists the townspeople can not give any of the directors’ money back to them, so the directors return to Hollywood.Couch Gag: The couch is a fax machine that spews out a piece of paper with The Simpson family in a sitting position. The paper slides back under the couch.
Chalkboard: “Bewitched does not promote Satanism.”
After finding his new acting job intolerable, Milhouse runs away from the Radioactive Man film set in his Fallout Boy suit.
The Scoutmaster, the antagonist of the Radioactive Man films, is based on Paul Lynde.:bananen_smilies046:
Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN! The Episode is called “Bart Sells His Soul“!
PLOT:
During a church service, Bart tricks the congregation by distributing the lyrics to the hymn “In the Garden of Eden” by “I. Ron Butterfly” (based on the song “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Iron Butterfly).[3] Reverend Lovejoy demands that the perpetrator step forward, and Milhouse names Bart. As punishment, Lovejoy assigns Bart and Milhouse to clean the organ pipes. Bart is indignant with Milhouse, who claims he feared for the fate of his soul. Bart proclaims that there is no such thing as a soul and agrees to sell his to Milhouse in the form of a piece of paper saying “Bart Simpson’s soul”. After the deal is made, Lisa tells Bart that he will regret selling his soul, but Bart does not believe her. Bart soon finds that his dog, Santa’s Little Helper, will not play with him, automatic doors fail to open for him, and when he breathes on the freezer doors at the Kwik-E-Mart no condensation forms. He begins to suspect he really did lose his soul, and sets out to retrieve it.
Meanwhile, Moe wants to expand his customer base by turning his tavern into a family restaurant called “Uncle Moe’s Family Feedbag”. The stress of running a family restaurant by himself ultimately unnerves him, and he finally snaps at a little girl. The restaurant is a failure, forcing Moe to revert the restaurant back to a run-down tavern.
Bart attempts to get his soul back from Milhouse, who refuses to return it for less than $50. That night, Bart has a nightmare about being the only child in Springfield who does not have a soul. Lisa taunts Bart with a dinnertime prayer leading him to make a desperate, all-out attempt to get the piece of paper back. Bart crosses town to where Milhouse and his parents are staying with his grandmother. The visit turns out to be fruitless; Milhouse had traded the paper to the Comic Book Guy at the Android’s Dungeon. A frustrated Bart spends the rest of the night camped out in front of the Android’s Dungeon in order to be at the shop when it opens.
The following morning, an annoyed Comic Book Guy tells Bart that he no longer has the piece of paper but refuses to reveal to whom he sold it. Bart walks home in the rain, then in his room he prays to God for his soul. Suddenly, a piece of paper with the words “Bart Simpson’s soul” floats down from above. Bart discovers that Lisa had purchased the piece of paper. While she explains philosophers’ opinions on the human soul, Bart happily eats it up the piece of paper.Couch Gag: The Simpsons drive to the couch in motorized clown carts.
Chalkboard: “I am not a lean, mean, spitting machine.”
