Oh, and Sideshow Bob also finally gets to kill Bart in the Halloween special. Family Guy ran the exact same plotline a decade ago, and at least they had the decency to actually get some mileage out of it before revealing the whole thing was a computer simulation.
I never thought the Simpson'd find a lamer gimmick than killing off Krusty's Dad. Now they've found two, and they'll happen a month apart from each other.
My kingdom for this fucking show's euthanasia.
Edit:
This thread has taken on a life of its own since the initial posts. From now on, this is the official Simpsons griefing thread. You may now bitch to your heart's content.
The thread title has likewise been changed to reflect this.
