Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson (and other musings)

Sorry for the two-week hiatus from the blog. Between making so many new episodes in a row and spending quality time with my family for Thanksgiving, Simpsons Music 500 has had to take a bit of a backseat. Let me try to catch you up.

This past Friday (12/2/11), we spotted PABF03 “Politcally Inept, with Homer Simpson” in the afternoon and scored NABF18 “Holidays of Future Passed” in the evening. “Politically Inept” will air on Sunday, January 8, 2012 – the 10th episode of season 23, episode #496 as we inch closer to 500. The show was written by John Frink and will feature guest star Ted Nugent.

Starting “The Man In the Blue Flannel Pants”

We spotted PABF01 “The Man In the Blue Flannel Pants” and scored NABF22 “The Book Job” yesterday, November 4, 2011. These two episodes will add big-name guest stars to the list of actors who have dropped by Springfield. Andy Garcia in “The Book Job” and John Slattery in “The Man In the Blue Flannel Pants”.

PABF01 “The Man In the Blue Flannel Pants” is scheduled to air on Sunday, November 27, 2011 (Thanksgiving Sunday) and will be the 7th episode of Season 23, #493 on the road to #500. This episode is what I call “music lite” because it is much more dialogue-driven and the music adds emotional shading here and there.
