    This is the creepiest shit. Making a sex clone of Marge is a line the show should.not cross.

    I thought you didn't watch the show? :P

    I know, I know, but years ago, when you said you were stopping watching the show, you said people should hold you to it. So I am.

    I've never said that but whatever.

    The last time I saw Artie Ziff in an episode he bought a date with Marge from Homer to recreate their prom night so Homer could get a surgery for sleep apnea. It ends with him spying on her from a hidden camera. That was bad but I figured we'd never see him again. This is just fucked

    Edit- I assume this is a treehouse segment but thats no excuse

    Good call. Now the question is whether the show staff have the guts to bring Apu back at all.

    In other news, Loren Bouchard unveiled his new series for Apple TV:

    apple_tv__central_park_first_look.jpg

    The series focuses on a family that lives in a castle in Central Park, though an heiress wants to tear it down to build condos. Apparently it's also extremely musical. And holy shit, the cast: Josh Gad, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., Kristen Bell, Tituss Burgess, Kathryn Hahn and Stanley Tucci.

    And apparently Bouchard has already annoyed people by having two characters voice women, and Bell's character is mixed-race.

    It's voice acting. Male / Female often voice Female / Male and race often doesn't matter. Are we going to tell Phil LaMarr he can't play Barry Allen? Because he does. Do they have to recast Bart Simpson as a male child actor?

    Bob is the source. Its not my job to fact check but he was a journalist for like 15 years so he definitely would have

    I'm wary, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think the musical episodes are Bob's Burgers' strong suit.

    Yet another animated thing's coming to Fox this month. Duncanville is produced by Amy Pohler (who also stars) and Mike and Jean Scully, so maybe it'll be good? Though the trailer seems like it's trying way too hard. At any rate:

    This Sunday's episode of The Simpsons will roast the Marvel movies, and presumably the corporate machine running them. The Russo brothers will play execs pissed off at Bart for spoiling an upcoming movie, and Kevin Feige will play, uh, "Chinnos."

    It's so weird how the show stands heavily in family friendly territory, and then BAM B plot of the kids being at the mothers hosted sex toy party. I love the show, the constant film references and jokes are amazing. I look forward to an episode every year where bob gets accidentally shitfaced and hilarity ensues, and the thanksgiving episode that is inevitably cursed somehow.

    edit: I'm a big fan of the series and the songs can definitely be hit or miss. I feel like they were a lot stronger earlier on. Getting Cindy Lauper to parody her own goonies song was awesome.

    It begins

    Or rather it begins for a second time, since the first theatrical Maggie short, "The Longest Daycare," came out in 2012 in front of one of the many Ice Age movies. It was really good if I'm remembering right.

    It's possible this thing was in development before the Disney merger.

    It's weird but it has heart. It's a more rough around the edges version of King of the Hill.

    They even shop at Mega Lo Mart!

    Its so ugly and it seems like Kristen Wig just wanted an excuse to sing country rock every other episode

    Yeah. I know I'm one to talk since The Simpsons was the first "it's so ugly!" show, but man, I'm having a hard time getting past the design of Harts.

    Then again I had the same complaint about Bob's Burgers, and I really dig the show now.

    Which reminds me -- it's a little weird that the Bob's Burgers movie is coming out in just four months, but we haven't seen a trailer for it yet. And yes, Disney's reconfirmed that they're still releasing it. Guess the Disney regime isn't the biggest fans. Though in that case, wouldn't they want to move it out of the prime July spot? Just plain weird.

    Mega-lo-Memories will have a sequel episode next season. Upcoming episodes are on our wiki now.

    Season 2 of Harts will probably have more refined art designs. The first three are holdovers from season 1 but the rest should be more refined.

    Duncanville has really low live ratings on Fox. This is not including Canadian CityTV ratings, international syndication deals through Comcast, and Hulu streaming numbers (Duncanville is one of Hulu's most popular to stream), all of which have a factor in deciding whether Duncanville gets S2.

    @orangemo8 , I'm curious, who are you?
    I mean, in relation to these shows, not any personal information.
    You refer to the wiki as "our wiki". You also seem to have some inside knowledge of the show regarding ratings and unaired episodes and a vested interest in driving conversation of the shows.

    So, if it's not risking violating NDAs or something, who are you?
