I love The Simpsons, but like many fans, I sorta fell away from the show for several years. Some episodes I’ve seen dozens of times, but there are a lot I’ve never seen. I’ve halfheartedly gone through some seasons on the FX app and Disney+, but almost 700 episodes is a daunting time commitment. Now that I’m homebound for awhile, I figured this was as good a time as any to get started.
I’m still watching and ranking movies (almost up 11,000 overall), but during the Coronavirus quarantine, I thought I would dive in with season 1 and watch every episode by the time the quarantine is over.
With any luck, the days of isolation and social distancing will only last a few weeks (and I’ll fall woefully short). But if not, it will help my anxious mind stay focused and sane over the next several months.
I’ve talked with my podcast partner in crime, Ben, and we’re toying with the idea of bringing the podcast back for anyone who might need something to take their minds off things.
As a bonus, I’m planning to rank every episode.
