A Nostalgia-Fueled Time Sink

Eye on Springfield — as it proclaims — is a retrospective of Simpsons hilarity spanning from seasons 1 to 9, when it was still funny. You won’t be able to stop browsing through it until you’ve reached the end. It makes you want to bust out your DVD sets. It makes you wish you were 10 years old again. It makes you realize The Simpsons really used to be THAT GOOD. It’s amazing to think that it’s been a decade since I watched the show with any sort of regularity, and almost as long since I’ve watched a new episode, period. (In case you’re wondering, I haven’t seen the movie, either.)

Now, I’m not going to bother making this into a long rant about how the show of my childhood has become the television equivalent of that Rolling Stones’ performance during the Super Bowl a few years back; there are plenty of people that have done it better. It’s just that looking through the entire site/blog/tumblr has conjured up this familiar feeling of resent. Although, I am also amazed at all the references I most definitely did not get as a kid. The first glimpse I had of that was when I was working through my DVD sets and Lisa showed off a copy of Less Than Zero. That better show up on the site eventually, I better finish getting through my DVD sets sometime, and you better subscribe to this site.

What better way to start your workday than seeing the following image:
