the folks at Fox managed a great lineup. At 6:30pm was the Cape Feare episode and at 7:30pm was Rosebud (when Mr. Burns is searching for his bear, Bobo).
Both episodes originally aired back in October of 1993. I think it is safe to say that this is when The Simpsons were in their prime. I was in college back in those days and would go to church at 7:00pm on Sundays as to repent for all my evil doings the previous days of the week. My friends and I would bolt out of there once mass ended and literally run to my friend's apartment so we could catch The Simpsons at 8:00pm. Probably not the most religious way to wrap up a night with Jesus,
but I think Jesus would probably want me to be happy and relaxed for all the good deeds I was destined to do in the upcoming week, so it was all good.
The Simpsons are still entertaining, but just not at the level they were at back in 1993. I still watch The Simpsons, but lately, when Sunday night rolls around, I find myself looking forward to Arrested Development more so than The Simpsons. If you haven't watched Arrested Development you should. If you would like to catch up before the new season starts or if you are already a fan, I have some good news. Arrested Development - Season 1 is available on DVD on October 19.
That is all.
