This looks like the right place.

300th episode Bart blackboard:

"I will not."

followed by trashing said blackboard with an axe.

That was a riot! Did you catch the Simpson's cast in Actors Studio? They had an actor question and answer and then a character question and answer.

No, blast it. I'm waiting for a rebroadcast for the Actor's Studio thing. I saw some clips and they were great.

Hi, there,

I saw the Simpson's Actor's Studio thing, too... hilarious. Love them. Interestingly, they mentioned that there's a book out called "The Gospel According to the Simpsons", which I wonder if anyone has seen. I forget who said, maybe Frank Azaria, that there are people in Europe dressing up as Flanders and passing out Bibles. Apparently they believe the Simpsons are the best evangelicals around. lol!

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I was very disappointed in this. I was really looking forward to watching the actors answer in character. I didn't need to see animation clips of Grandpa Simpson when Castellano was talking.
