Episode 38: When Flanders Failed (Boy, there sure are a lot of lefties in Springfield!)

And so, the third season just rolls along... And we are still seeing the remnants of season 2's production cycle as the series struggles to find its specific identity amidst the landscape of TV comedy. Some people consider "When Flanders Failed" a classic episode, others hate it... I suppose we fall somewhere in between.

Troy Anderson of AndersonVision.com joins me this week to discuss this often funny, sometimes maudlin...ultimately rather bland episode. And we find ourselves trailing off and discussing the sociopolitical global landscape in the fall of 1991, a time that saw The Soviet Union come to an end... And we eventually devolve into discussing the MPAA -- or is it MPA now? Just MPA? Why? Does it matter?

Does anything matter?

Dig in.
