Lenny: Friend, Suspenders, Guy
Written by J. Stuart Burns
Directed by Jennifer Moeller
EP: Selman
(wr. and dir. will cowork in upcoming "Mother and Child Reunion)LENNY DISCOVERS A PAST MENTAL BREAKDOWN IN SEASON PREMIERE "Lenny: Friend, Suspenders, Guy"
Lenny found out, he was mistakenly diagnosed and threated from Down syndrome
for a weekin his childhood, and wrong medicines might cause on his follow behavior (just ask nothing, and read to the end). He trying forget that "accident" and not care, but [psychosomatically] the "disease" is progressing to more changing Lenny's behavior…
Backstory: Lenny Leonard always has been that character, who is "really simple, just as big kid". Some examples I saw: Lenny's story in "Springfield up", his doll-obsession "The D'oh-cial Network" etc. I thought, what if that cause by some child's trauma or disease… So, come to this episode. I highlighted it's
psychosomaticalprocess, so he had NOT and has NOT now that Down syndrome.
psychosomatically
If anything, the idea isn't about show "the difference of people with Down syndrome and other people". No, at all! If the episode was real in some time, I'd just want to show, how is, when a person suddenly without any doctors (repeat,) would change his/her live. It's more about self-medication (which is actual nowadays), rather point to some illness.
Anyway, despite some explaining, I'm already ready for controversion
I even forgot about this one. Great!

Lisa the Vegan (you know the other string of puns)
Written by Elisabeth Kiernan Averick
Directed by David Silverman
EP: Mike ScullyLISA CHANGES HER WAY OF EATING IN ALL-NEW "Lisa the Vegan"
Lisa met Violet, who convince her to move forward [into Lisa's "save the planet" steps] and become completely vegan (so, she mustn't eat all animal-produced food, like eggs, meat, cheese - just vegetables and fruits from the garden). Meanwhile Homer accidently in dream [=in process of sleeping itself] hit Marge's face by his arm, and now she annoyed her by emerging snoring (the part of hit is real, casual story)
Guest star: Jessica Chastain as Violet (JUST TODAY I saw TV-program coming from one Hollywood cable channel and found out this actress "first was vegetarian, then became vegan", so, she's the most suitable for that role)

EP: AJ (season 17 style)WOMEN OCCUPIED ALMOST ALL PROFESSIONS IN ALL-NEW "This Is a Woman's World"
Homer and Marge have an argue about nowadays women worked on all jobs (as you could guess, Homer is against it and show own, not really discriminational, but still sexist thoughts about the issue). They make a bet: if Homer will find at least one job, where woman just CAN NOT be in, he's allowed to do something Marge [as well as other women] wouldn't like, AND will be able to declare, that "female" is weaker gender not just stereotypically (Lisa is really worried about last part). Otherwise, if Homer won't find, he public declares about beauty of equality and will do a thing he [
as well as other men, no just Homer] doesn't like to do.
During process, Homer discovers women in ALL jobs (little backstory: this is initial episode base: I really came to thought nowadays, luckily, women are everywhere). Meanwhile, being at home, Marge accidently came to answer for Homer's task (the job, women really can't be in), and must hide all hints to that profession from Homer.

The Simpsons Family Christmas- Christmas special
Written by Al Jean, John Frink and Jeff Westbrook
Directed by Mark Kirkland
EP: AJTHE SIMPSONS ARE DIVIDED ON CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER IN ALL-NEW "The Simpsons Family Christmas"
Watching old Christmas black-and-white films on TV, full of "Christmas spirit" (i.e. "It's a Wonderful Life"-typed; however this time films are more parodied, and made in animated form, no "live-action"), Marge really wants to arrange a "real, warm, family Christmas celebration" with all ideal in. During preparing (includes also Christmas tree ideal look, ideally-lenghth candles - you understood, she overdoes a bit
Subplot: Meanwhile, because of long queues for presents, Homer decides to buy them online via service "Secret Santa" (where the addressee doesn't know, who presented, and sender doesn't know, who he/she gives presents to, thus the presents are chosen unpredictable)
), Marge suddenly reminds "one special thing, without which the Christmas can't be". Being on the end of Christmas Eve in mall, Marge got closed alone in building for all holidays [and nobody of family knows her, because she really quick run to the mall without saying anything]. For me, it's some mix of "I Won't be home for Christmas" and "'Tis the 30th Season" episodes and maybe "Daddicus Finch" a bit . But that's… that's good!Bohdan said:
Bad Hair Days ("Bad hair day" phrase pun)
Written by someone random freelancer. Let it be... Ben Joseph ("Beware My Cheating Bart")
Directed by Jennifer Moeller
EP: AJTHE SIMPSONS ARE LIMITHED BY THEIR HOUSE IN ALL-NEW "Bad Hair Days"
Because of appeared dandruff, Bart starts constantly itching [his head]. However, later [in the time of common health fakes] there are rumors that this is some kind of infection (you can guess, what it referred to). Consequently, officially, the Simpsons house (with neighbor houses - evacuating Flanders and "other neighbors"; part of street and, of course, the Simpsons themselves) gets is fenced (with window for delivering all needments to family) and the family gets isolated for "an indefinite period"… (you also can guess, what it referred to)
The another variant of title is "Lockdown in Family" ("All in the Family" title pun), but I didn't write it, cause it would spoil all the plot

Comma, Not Full Stop
Written by Al Jean and Matt Selman
Directed by Steven Dean Moore
EP: Al Jean and Mike ReissHOMER WAKES UP FROM THE COMA IN APRIL IN ALL-NEW "Comma, Not Full Stop"
(the episode is scheduled to air on 30th anniversary of "So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show" on the1st, no, it'll Saturday2nd of April in 2023)The story is based on that fan-theory: what if Homer slept since "...Clip show" coma? And here is it - he, at least, awake
(who now is 65, to said)
Homer awakes in hospital in 2023, just before his family (aged, of course) comes to him during "permanent" visiting once a week for all 30 years. They're really happy to Homer, because "supporting Homer's life support in coma has been very expensive. Marge even is angry and can't keep herself and pounce on Homer, because he really did NOTHING during all 30 years
(following events' told takes place in 1 act maximum of episode time; with some scenes from the past... err - 1993-2023 without Homer)
After Homer went in coma - 1993 - Margeneeded to hired on job: first she decided to replace Homer at SNPP, but after Burns' harassments for years (a callback to "Marge Gets a Job") she fired.
First, the money was a problem, the family must sell the house. After Abe's soon death (well, he gone mad completely, then dead
Lisa (who now is 38) was an excellent student in school and university (decide on yourselves, in which one
As for Maggie (now 31) - during her riot teenage period (she CAN speak, if anything, but we wouldn't see that, as always), she got tired of always visiting the Homer and living in the caravan, so she accepted of the silence
Then Homer (who is about 70) recovered, but can't get used to "modern" world (his mind and thoughts are from 1993 - he missed a lot of
The last person is Maggie. Homer comes to church and Maggie (with accepting of the silence) run out to meet in hugs. (In my view, that's a real emotional and crying moment:gatorcry
THE END!Whoosh... That was really HARD to write "on the run". I attended to flashforward idea a long ago yet, but in the mind was just part before "Homer recovered from coma" and final Maggie scene. The rest was really HARD to create. But I hope, it would be worth to watch
Some "future notes" I missed
* After harassments, Burns was arrested for a lifelong time. SNPP lead by Smithers, but eko-activist Susanna Turnoff (Greta Turnberg reference) stayed on shut own the station, and it'd done so;
* Flanders become new pastor in the church, while Lovejoy retired, they went on world-wide trip, but for some reason didn't return;
* For just a SINGLE time Marge cheated on Homer with Moe, but immediately realized it was really bad fault, cause her husband is still alive (in coma), and she always loves him;
* there is a scene in the start, where the family comes to Homer in masks. And Homer asked, why are they? Lisa replies: "Uhh... there was something named by 19, starts in 20, should end in 21, but lasts all 22, and even now"
* After Simpsons' pets dead, they weren't replaced. Just at allSo, how is this really good in my view idea for you?

Lisa stayed alone in house, but is afraid of some strangers outside (she wasn't able to see, who's that; maybe just bullies? postman? or real criminals?..; inspired by Bart's reaction in Lost Verison). After that at least someone must be with her all the time (Autophobia). That attachment state progresses fast. (and is casually for real little kids

Just say: it supposed to be the part of previous episode, "Lisa's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass" segment, but (you don't believe) I was confused by own written notes
During a nap in forest, Lisa met "white rabbit" (Maggie-look) and chaise for it. As a result she appears in Wonderland [full of Springfieldians look-likes]…
Parody on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to said short. The episode should be nice touch/parody on that book (with 2010 film references, in my view). Unlike to "...the Windshield Glass", it hadn't any "horror" - just a nice parody.

After Lisa was told accusation to her family as "moneybags" (unfairly, actually), she is sad. Telling about it to other family, the Simpsons decide to move from their "big house" to the apartments common with many "ordinary people" - flat (=condo; a part of room of flats here's wiki article, if still not understand). In poor living conditions (well, small size, cold, unfamiliar neighbors; common balcony and inside yard etc.) the Simpsons family got used to it, and became very strong between themselves (to the level of… singing).
Guest stars: needed as neighbors

Written by Dan Vebber
Directed by Matthew Faughnan
EP: Matt G., James BrooksHOMER MUST FIX ALL UNTIL THE NEW YEAR COMES IN DECEMBER ON ALL-NEW "New Year Eve of Horror"
Instead of annual "loud" New Year party [at SNPP] the Simpsons decided to celebrate quietly [like it's Christmas]. However, Homer can't keep himself from "a little" being there (and Marge heard it via mobile phone). Arriving soon at home (let's say, on 6PM, New Year Eve), Marge and kids refuse to forgive the Homer. Being rejected, and staying on the street, Homer listens to some strange, but not magical, guy (voiced by guest star), who told him, all must be good until midnight, because "as you meet the new year, so you will spend it"…
I guess, all the winter stories are great.

When the Simpsons family decide to stop make photos during special moments, because then photos have see by nobody, it sets the trend to whole town. But, once, a photography can save a life…
Clarification and thoughts (decide to divide all and don't write italic comments)
1) The base is... is real actually. Remember, when you are rewatching the photos/videos (btw, videos are also there) after you done them? They are just take up memory space of computer/smartphone, being just folders untouched. In fact, we really revision them when a) cleaning that memory space from time to time and b) when we once-twice show the "see, what beautiful place I made selfie in". So, that's the reason of that act.
"the Simpsons family decide to stop make photos during special moments" because the memories saved in our own memory
2) confess, "a photography can save a life…" is a pretentious thing, added just to add some intrigue or interestEpisodes I was inspired of: (honest words
are more important - the moments we are happy/sad/shocked etc. not picturedBohdan said:
Boyfriends Forever ("Best friends forever" phrase reference)
Written by Tim Long and Miranda Thompson
Directed by Steven Dean Moore
EP: SelmanTHE BOYS FOUND THE TREASURE AT THE COST OF FRIENDSHIP IN ALL-NEW "Boyfriends Forever"
The boys (Nelson Bart, Martin, Milhouse) discovered a map of old treasure. After they together overcame difficulties, and found the treasure, they must divide it, what ruins the friendship. Meanwhile, Homer brings Marge at "Significant Other Night" at Moe, but Homer himself befriends there with Carl and Lenny' girls.
Clarification and thoughts
1) The main story, as I've just see, has similarity with "Three Men and a Comic Book" (+ Nelson). Geesh
2) There were initially 2 separate ideas: early time I came to that "4 boys" idea. Lately, I might forgot, and noted to myself another same idea, but "4 boys + Homer".
3) the title initially and up to posting the title first here was "Boysfriends Forever" (like several boys, not confused with boyfriend, and girlfriend). Anyway, the autocorrection some "magician reason" made me change the name:gatorshrug2:
4) "Significant Other Night" motto is to bring more people, more drinks ordered, and more profit Moe gets. Simple!
5) OMG: Just discovered, how these stories are different by quality:-/ It's like "Bart vs. Thanksgiving", with "Lisa meets the Lady Gaga" subplot (too ridiculous compare, but that's it). I don't know, what I thought
But it'd have more interesting "united adventures" - as the first act/half of episode is that cooperative efforts on the way to treasure. THIS sounds cool.

Bart enjoys drawing new rich boy, Ethan, who collects new cars. In the same time, Grampa Simpsons enjoys Ethan's father, who collects old cars instead.
Clarification and thoughts
1) The story sounds ok itself, but I guess, the some conflict of generations wouldn't be odd here;
2) Ethan and his father are British-comes, and there can be a joke, they're so rich, that they were easier just buy the trucking ship(s) to transfer all the cars
3) In the way of animation, it would need properly work to show each automobile, each detail. So, I choose Selman and Clements;
4) If anything, the cars are REAL NOT JUST MODELS

Good Morning, Quarantine (2-parter) (the same name had by one musical video, retweeted by Matt Selman, and liked by me in March'20)
Written by Al Jean, Matt Selman, Tim Long and (Someone random freelancer. Let it be) Juliet Kaufman (upcoming "Lisa's Belly episode)

THE PANDEMIC CROSSES OVER SPRINGFIELD TOO IN DECEMBER ON ALL-NEW 2-PART SPECIAL "Good Morning, Quarantine"The suddenly pandemic of new virus C-Vid-202122 is a mass natural phenomenon for all the world, not except the Springfield. When the government enters the quarantine, the Springfield citizens behave in a different way. It'll be a hard times…
Clarification and thoughts
That must be REALLY COOL, FUNNY-SATIRIZED, EMOTIONAL AND maybe CONTROVERSIAL episode.
1)The events include all the real states of pandemic: fear because of unknown, the first "out-of-lockdown", "keep calm and just wear a mask", "keep calm and just wear a mask... in public places only", facilitation of quarantine; elections, how without it; the new wave(s) of disease, the vaccine and vaccination question, removal of most restrictions, and slightly end. The episode takes place in 2 years (IMHO: I'd really hope the real C*VID would end just in 2 years, but perhaps that isn't so easy) and the 2-part length wouldn't make the episode too "mash up"
2) As said, during the pandemic the Springfield citizens behave in a different way (like in really life actually). I can imagine all the possible types (FUNNY-SATIRIZED, as said):
[*] someone listens to the government indications in all (even the sometimes absurd or controversial) - maybe, Marge, Moe
[*] someone is sceptic, and don't believe in virus till the end: Homer (the most). He listens to "lockdown voice to stay home", but just because he's lazy at work
[*] someone's life doesn't change at all (well, maybe just add a mask) - like Cletus, very busy people (like Lindsey Naegle, or Fat Tony);
[*] someone becomes too cleanly - like Lisa, Milhouse,
[*] someone is "ill, because of one random cough" (seniors)
[*] someone really doesn't quit the home at all (real life story of my familiar) - Burns (closed in own mansion with Smithers, with mix of two previous types)
[*] someone is making business of virus - Gill, who needs to earn any many, because he was fired from anywhere due to lockdown;
[*] other types I forgot (however I really tried to include all)
3) cliffhanger Marge gets a "hard" severe degree of C-Vid, making Homer rethink his skepticism all and promise to God to become the best person for pandemic times. This scene is really bright and emotional
3*) Marge can survive the disease, but with always cough and "now my voice deeps tp like I'm 70" - the meta-joke. That state is based on my… familiar
4) in the 2nd part (when Homer is "nice") Smitty (Homer's coworker), sadly can't survive, and Homer's sad. Then Homer becomes sorta volunteer
5*) you can consider this episode as canon or non-canon. I didn't care about it
5) there is a scene, where Comic book Guy's store is shown in all states: from closing entirely, to checking the "social distance", toruin outdamaging of business, and need to divide the store with other rental
6) there is a funny scene where chief Wiggum can't take the criminals because, there must be social distance, anyway. In the same time, police (after facilitation) is checking about and canceling the club-parties
7) of course, Bart and Lisa are having school online; Bart's detention is now "typing", but without using "copy/paste"
8) Dr. Hibbert is all work
9) the episode should be less-concrete on the main story (The Simpsons), and often show the others charactersPhew! That was difficult either write the post and come up with these... these all things.
Outdated, but still.

(Long, Polchino and Jean recently coworked on season 24 «Love is a Many-Splintered Thing»)MARGE CAN'T ENJOY BECAUSE OF ALLERGY IN APRIL IN ALL-NEW "Sakura, Allergy to Sakura"
After rare to Springfield sakura trees bloom in the spring, everybody wants to take a picture with it. However Marge finds an allergy to the trees, and must left behind universal joy. Meanwhile the spring and romantic are spared in Springfield, which annoyed the kids.
Clarification and thoughts
1) Initially, it should be a Valentine-day episode, but there already had been Heartbreak Hostel idea. Plus, the spring episode should air in spring
2) talking of spring, the rejected title for episode was "Springfield with the 'Spring'" (a note to the song We Put the Spring in Springfield). But a) it would be too hard reference; b) there wouldn't be any note to the main Marge's plot
3) the plot is inspired by the real cituation: for years the sakura trees are bloom in spring in Ukraine (the more or less depending on the region and town), and people always want to take a picture with them like "Picture me, cause, I believe, NOBODY has such photo yet"
4) Guest star: George Takei as himself (short cameo about sakura beauty in Japan)

Homer watched old TV show about "normal" relationships between father/children, and decides to rectify this situation. He brings Bart and Lisa on camping in the forest… Meanwhile Marge spends a day with Maggie.
Clarification and thoughts
1) Yes, the TV-show part (btw, with guest stars, perhaps) may come from "Homer the Father" episode; yes, the camping is from "The Call of the Simpsons", and yes, "Marge spends a day with Maggie" here is extended part of 400th episode ("You Kent... something something") start, what I loved. I don't deny anything!
2) initially Homer would bring just the boy with himself, but Marge also adds Lisa
3) err… overall, sounds like… something
Sounds like season 1 classic)

Directed by Bob Anderson and Jennifer Moeller
EP: AJ and SelmanTHERE IS A LONG WHITE NIGHT IN SPRINGFIELD IN MAY IN ALL-NEW SEASON FINALE "A Life in a Night"
If you think there isn't any night life in Springfield, prepare to be surprised…
Clarification and thoughts
In short, it's a "22 Short Films About Springfield", but in night. Beside such "original" idea, I've also thought about, what the premise can be. So:December, 22, Winter solstice, when the night is the longest. Sitting on the roof Homer and Lisa think about, what the people of Springfield do in the night, and then the classic 22SFAS story: who sleeps? whose dream is damaged? who is on the run? etc.
1) there is a joke when Homer climbs to Lisa at start, he asked her, whether she feels cold (she wears a jacket only... in winter!). The girl responds: "Don't warry, dad. The Global warming already did its thing: warm winter nights, without any discomfort. Nehh..." I couldn't find the related exclamation, so how I heard it, I wrote it
2) The events take place in the period of the longest night[/s] - between 4 pm and 8 am the next day
3) To be honest, I even didn't try to come up with "what the stories are happened in the night. I am lazy had no time to it, but sure theyshould be really funny as well as original 22 ShortsSo, how's the finale? of season
"So, how's the finale? of season" Ironically, after that idea there was forced NHC-down break, that could turn into real finale of this thread… But luckily, all ends right
To be continued…
