The Weekly Simpsons Watch (next up, Venture!)
Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
I'm not sure we're going to find a more available day. I suppose quite late on Friday may work?
We could doodle poll it & see when people are free?

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
Sorry for letting you know so late, but I won't be home for the rewatch today. You're free to carry on without me, as I won't be around tomorrow either... This weekend's off to be a little busier than I had imagined.

Hoping this is in the right place, since there was a discussion of this piece when we rewatched this ep several weeks ago:

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
Does anyone object to moving the watch to Sunday?
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
It's possible that I won't make it either day this weekend, but go on without me either way.

Yeah, have got at least 2 more hours driving to go, so may be best to carry on without us.

I might not make it either, forgot family was arriving. Not sure if I'll be free.

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
So as mentioned, we're coming close to wrapping up Season 8 of The Simpsons, and there's not a lot of enthusiasm for continuing, at least at the moment. Which means it needs to be replaced in the schedule.
Currently the front-runners are Futurama and The Venture Brothers. I think I would go with Futurama first personally.
Who's interested?

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
I would say Futurama would be the next logical step.

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
Futurama seems sensible to me.
Disenchantment will be rolling in come 2018 too...

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
Good point, though I don't know how easy it's going to be to watch it all together
EDIT: Hm, it being on netflix might help a little

Re: The Weekly Simpsons Watch
I'm in the mood for a Venture Brothers rewatch, but I'm good with Futurama if such is the general consensus.
