    Various Hollywood studios just delayed a bunch of their movies due to COVID. Most of them got new dates, but one didn't -- the Bob's Burgers movie.

    As posted before, it could just be the Bob's Burgers folks are taking their time and poking away at the movie during free moments. Or it could be a sign it'll go straight to Hulu or something.

    Appparently Loren Bouchard is really pushing for a theatrical release which I suspect is more so he can move into movies proper.

    ANIDOM returns February 14 with new schedule. There is a new game show at 7pm to fill the slot (probably should have put Duncanville s2 there instead instead of delaying it to summer).

    7:30 Bless the Harts
    8 The Simpsons
    8:30 The Great North
    9 Bob's Burgers
    9:30 Family Guy

    Tonights Simpsons episode was actually pretty good. Though I find it weird thinking that Homer was 14 at some point in the '90s now.

    Eh it was ok when I thought it was ripping on Abrams, and even had a good line:

    Homer - No, the same thing is happening again, only years later and slightly different
    Abrams - That's what I do.

    But then it turns out to be shitting on people for caring about the films and characters people like Abrams are shitting on. Then it rounds it out by saying your terrible parents are the only reason you care about those films.

    Maybe SNL, depending on what you mean by genre, but that's about it. Of course, Simpsons can't possibly be beaten as long as it's still on the air. Unless it's by a show that airs more often, I guess, if you want to be pedantic about it.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    Just saw the episode. I didn't feel it was anti-"caring about stuff", but anti-"obsessively insisting it be your specific individual pre-concieved un-realized notions of what a new version of the stuff you liked when you were young should be".

    A brand new Maggie Simpson short dropped on Disney+, called The Force Awakens from Its Nap. It's wall to wall Star Wars and... not great.

    Supposedly we'll be getting more Simpsons shorts poking fun at/synergizing with Disney stuff in the future, so here's hoping the rest are better.

    Late to the party, but holy hell the Simpsons with Benedict Cumberbatch as (essentially) Morrissey was fantastic. Here's the full version of the song, written by Bret Mckenzie of Flight of the Conchords:

    https://youtu.be/Y1rx3Gx46Vc

    Also, the real Morrissey threw a fit about it online, saying among other things:
    “The hatred shown towards me from the creators of The Simpsons is obviously a taunting lawsuit,” Morrissey wrote, “but one that requires more funding than I could possibly muster in order to make a challenge.”

    Which is hysterical because the Simpsons character said he's only touring again because he ran out of money suing everyone who said mean things about him.

    If anything, I wish it was longer since it felt really rushed. Also didn't help that half the video was credits.

    The Bob's Burgers movie not only exists, it'll still go to theaters! Still doesn't have a release date, though. Apparently it's a "musical, comedy, mystery, adventure, and kind of coming-of-age-story."

    Also, they're making a short they hope goes to theaters called "My Butt has a Fever."

    First three seasons of family guy are actually not awful like the rest of the series. They lost me with the constant gay jokes about a baby. Over the top violence is only funny when used sparingly, they took the wrong lesson from the chicken fight bit by doing it over and over and yea...

    Anyways Futurama is a certified hood classic
