We are coming to the end. (Stop applauding.)
MUST-SEE!
8/30 12:00 AM ET “Eternal Moonshine
of the Simpson Mind” -- A Simpsonic take on "Eternal Sunshine
of the Spotless Mind" as Homer can't recall the events of the
previous day.
8/30 12:30 AM ET “E. Pluribus Wiggum”
-- Springfield moves up its election date (because Homer destroyed
the town's fast-food restaurants) and it's now the first primary in
the nation. Here come the presidential candidates and the media! And a new candidate: Ralph Wiggum! Pick a winner!
8/30 4:30 AM ET “Any Given Sundance”
-- Lisa's school project is a short film about her family. Aspiring
film producers Skinner and Chalmers enter it into the Sundance Film
Festival. The Simpsons are going to Utah!
8/30 12:00 PM ET “Gone Maggie Gone”
-- Not a bad episode, but to be honest I probably wouldn't include it
here except for the brief, unexpected appearance of none other than the Phillie
Phanatic.
8/30 1:30 PM ET “Eeny Teeny Maya Moe
“ -- Moe hits it off with a woman he meets over the Internet. When
they meet in person, he learns she's a little person. Will he screw
it up? Well, yes. But it's surprisingly sweet.
8/30 9:00 PM ET “Once Upon a Time in
Springfield” -- Krusty is forced by the network to add a female
character to his show. Princess Penelope (Anne Hathaway) is a hit, which
infuriates Krusty until he learns she's a longtime fan, and they fall
in love. Anne Hathaway won an Emmy for this.
8/30 10:00 PM ET “Boy Meets Curl”
-- Homer and Marge, along with Agnes and Seymour Skinner, compete in
a new demonstration sport, mixed curling, at the Vancouver Winter
Olympics. (Not surprisingly, the episode aired during the Olympics.) Lisa becomes addicted to collecting Olympic pins. Wikipedia says it was well-received by curlers and Canadians. Also, there's a sighting of a character from The Simpsons Movie...the movie only, not a character that has previously been in the series. And it's not Spider-Pig.
