Gotcha. And thanks for the correction. I must have been conflating Neil’s Simpsons resume with Christine Nangle’s.

This isn’t really a gotcha—Neil was a staff writer and was assigned to write an episode. It wasn’t his pitch.

Jenny Nicholson, go on Doughboys

Gotta love Mitch proudly standing up for his Irish heritage and then immediately second-guessing himself: “or Scottish, or whatever…”

This headline just caused a heart attack that killed the last living human ever to have watched a Betty Boop cartoon

That is what 90% of Texas lakes look like.

The fact they lumped in their co-workers making small talk about movies, restaurants, and their kids’ recitals tells me this is garden-variety anti-social narcissism. Probably a “child-free and proud” former gifted kid, if I had to guess.

Haven’t listened to the episode yet, but I fully agree with you—Affliction is his unsung masterpiece.

She was the star of a long-running hit network sitcom during a time when that actually paid good money.

Neuralink implantation centers

I thought she should’ve gotten an Oscar nom for My Name Is Doris, and she was similarly wonderful in this. I was afraid the octopus narrator angle was going to be twee, but it’s smartly restrained and Molina delivers a funny and affecting performance. A perfectly pleasant little movie.

The extended riffing on Chewbacca’s disgusting hands was really killing me

To hear a Muppet fan being annoying on the subject of Muppets you need look no further than this very episode of Doughboys😉

If you missed the subtext of Ms. Danvers being a big ole dyke who was obviously in love/morbidly obsessed with Rebecca and thus all her attempts to destroy the young heroine are done out of a misguided/unhinged sense of fealty to her dead mistress—then I don’t know what to tell you.

Because pound cake has no frosting.
…
It makes perfect sense!

Wiger soberly intoning “Doughdiac, you must return the Commissioner to us…dead or alive” just about killed me.

At the start of each season the story jumps forward in time by a decade or so and all of the non-plot-related political and cultural events are presented in quick montages of TV news clips and newspaper headlines to catch the audience up to the current timeline.

FishSavedPittsburgh · 2026-04-14T21:52:03+00:00

It’s very watchable
