When DVDs finally disappear, I'm going to be sad. I'll miss the commentaries.
When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work!" (Homer Simpson)
I know all those words, but that sentence makes no sense to me.
We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff.
