Way back, ages ago, we early Simpsons-heads figured out on rec.arts.tv.simpsons that the McBain clips actually made sense together. (Specifically, it was clips number 1, 2, 3 and 5 of those in the video - "that makes two of us"; Sully w/ "Get Mendoza"; "Bye Book"; and "...another meeting, in bed.") Of course, this was before Google and YouTube and Flash video. Back when the Simpsons Episode Guide was a document you ftp'd from a server, and "The Stellar Acting Career of Troy McClure" was a list on my whiteboard at work. Am I really that old? You kids get off my e-lawn! - yeff Ah yes, McBain. Way back, ages ago, we early Simpsons-heads figured out on rec.arts.tv.simpsons that the McBain clips actually made sense together.

They were part of the "Radioactive Man" movie, not the McBain movie, although Rainier Wolfcastle starred in both. :) In this case, Ze Goggles don’t count!

Aside from the last clip where Mendoza dies and they show the end credits, you could put the clips in any order and it would make about the same amount of sense!

A few years ago, the complaints about Simpsons' quality were fresh, witty, and pertinent. But now they're just going through the motions, as if they've said everything they have to say, and are just repeating themselves over and over again. I think these comments should not be made anymore, so that we have space for new comments that could help us pass the time in new ways. That way, our memories of when those comments were fresh and funny will be preserved, rather than be tainted with their continued and growing banality... It’s kinda sad.
