4 thoughts on “Eric Simpson”

  1. Maude died some seasons back, if I recall correctly she was hit by a flying tire after a crash at a car race they were watching.

    Hmmm, let me amend that… I just double-checked and here’s the story from Wikipedia: “Maude died after being knocked off a grandstand at the Springfield Speedway (If Homer had not been distracted from catching the t-shirts launched in her direction by an air-bazooka, it is likely that the accident could have been averted). Homer had also parked in the ambulance zone, preventing any quick resuscitation.”

  2. Yeah, she was killed (it was Homer’s fault, of course). I had no idea you missed more of “The Simpsons” than even I did! I used to tape them to show to Tom’s boys because their mother wouldn’t let them watch them at home. Naturally, once Molly arrived, same thing, no time for anything.

  3. I watched the first three seasons of The Simpsons, but after Eric was born I only occasionally caught an episode. I didn’t know the character Maude Flanders is gone, but I recall that her original voice, Maggie Roswell, quit and later returned. One review of the movie I read said it plays things too safe.

  4. Molly and I went to the movie today. We were disappointed on many levels. The NY Times review said it best: that it was like a “pretty good” regular episode. I’ve missed so many seasons. What happened to Ned Flander’s wife? Also, SPOILER ALERT! A totally unnecessary gay gag is used. Many parents in our crowded theatre groaned as they had brought the tiny ones, despite the PG-13 rating!
