The nature of their circumstances were all radically reformed, albeit in different ways. However, it was also too successful to end – whether it was the writers, the voice actors, or the network executives, they were too proud or too greedy to let the show come to a natural end.Īs a result, what we have so far this season (besides the increase in gimmicks and the show’s world collapsing into a black hole of inane insanity) are the gambles made on three characters – Apu Nahassapeemapetilon, Ned Flanders, and Barney Gamble. But in terms of narrative, Season 11 of The Simpsons seems to be indicative of a show realizing that the story engine has mined the well dry. I mean, the remanents show does so nowadays by the proliferation of guest stars, as well as attempts to be relevant that often indicate that a trend or meme is deader than dead. Season 11 of The Simpsons really does feel like a show clinging to life, to relevancy, to any sort of cohesion that is ebbing away. But the temptation still remains, especially when the less-than-teetotal Homer tags along on his path to sobriety. Combined with the constant mockery from his fellow barflies, he decides to quit drinking for good. There, he was so drunk as to become the largest fool in the town.
Plot: Barney Gumble is disturbed when he sees a video of his birthday party. Written By: Dan Castellaneta and Deb Lacusta Weirdly apropos given the episode covered today. “There’s a line in `Othello’ about a drinker:`Now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast.’ That pretty well covers it.” – Barney Gumble, Puke-a-hontas, “A Star is Burns”. Out of context, it’s a sublime metaphor for the series! In context, it’s a good metaphor for the episode.
