Simpsons ties knot with gay marriage |
Simpsons ties knot with gay marriage
David Wood
Wednesday July 28, 2004
The feverish public debate in the US over gay marriages is to be played out
in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons, it emerged today.
The show's producers have revealed that the cartoon classic will feature an
episode in which gay marriage is legalised in Springfield.
Hints about the plot line were dropped by show producer Matt Groening at a
San Diego comic convention, where he revealed that Homer Simpson becomes a
minister by registering online.
Producer Al Jean added: "We have a show where, to raise money, Springfield
legalises gay marriage. Homer becomes a minister by going on the internet
and filling out a form. A long time character comes out of the closet, but
I'm not saying who."
Mr Groening even joked that it would be Homer Simpson who comes out in the
episode.
Simpsons fans have already begun speculating about who the most likely
character to come out would be.
One early favourite is billionaire Monty Burns' ever-devoted sidekick
Waylon Smithers, who has been revealed in previous episodes to have a Mr
Burns screensaver and dreams of a naked Mr Burns jumping out of a birthday
cake.
Other candidates include Homer's cohorts at the nuclear plant, Carl and
Lenny, as well as Moe the bartender, the Reverend Lovejoy, Principal
Skinner and Comic Book Guy.
The gay marriage-themed episode is scheduled to air in January.
The show's producers also outlined other upcoming plotlines including a row
among Springfield residents over Mayor Quimby that results in a campaign to
kick him out of office, and a satirical take on the California recall
election in which Arnold Schwarzenegger defeated then governor Gray Davis.
Celebrities expected to lend their voices to the show's next season include
actress Kim Cattrall, best known for playing Samantha in Sex and the City;
actor James Caan; and rapper 50 Cent.
Groening also said plans were still under way for a Simpsons animated
movie, but said that work on a big screen version of the hit cartoon won't
begin until the TV series bows out, which could be some time.
Now heading for its sixteenth season, The Simpsons still pulls in massive
ratings in the US and is a big hit on UK television, giving UK channels
such as Sky One and BBC2 bumper audiences. This autumn Channel 4 will begin
airing the show, for which it reportedly paid $1m an episode, on Friday
nights at 9pm.

Excellent. :)

Smithers would be the obvious choice.
We all know he is gay.
But I'll give even odds it will be Patty.
It was clearly her voice coming from a closet
on a float in a gay parade in one episode.
A Smithers gay marriage might ruin
the long established, comedically successful Burns/Smithers dynamic.
It would kinda be like 'jumping the shark'.
Patty has mostly been a peripheral character.
For the show, her character is a door ready
to be openned.
Selma has had a slew of ill-fated hetero marriages.
There would be irony and comedic potential
in Patty having a good homo marriage.
My money is on Patty.
But who will be the partner?
A new character?
Other candidates include Homer's cohorts at the nuclear plant, Carl and
Lenny, as well as Moe the bartender, the Reverend Lovejoy, Principal
Skinner and Comic Book Guy.
Naaaa. None of them.

$1M/episode. Damn! I wish I had been twisted enough
to create that show.

It can't be him, right.

That's also too obvious but it wouldn't make for a good enough plot
line. It has to be one of the men at the bar -- Barney, perhaps. He
was driven to becoming a drunk because of the internal conflict. }:-}

Where is the humor in a blatantly obvious choice. So who would be

the closet.
I predict it will be Groundskeeper Willy.

I'm thinking Selma (the sister who has not been married before.) She's the one
who "chose a life of celibacy", and the episode with the Gay Pride parade had her
voice coming out of a "closet" on a float with "We're here! We're glad! Just
don't tell mom and dad!"

How about the criminal dude who calls everyone "Dude", with the hair that

I would say Lisa, if she wasn't so young.

It's Barnie. He tried to make it with a woman once and failed. He's
driven to drink because he tries to fit in with the rest of the guys
in the bar but he's living a lie so he drinks. He sobered up, though,
some time ago and now that he's cleaned up, he'll fall in love and he'll
want to get married. }:-}

Not that it proves anything, but Rev Lovejoy is married, Principal
Skinner was dating Mrs Crabapple, CBG dated someone who I think was
Mrs Crabapple, Moe dated Helen Hunt and I think someone else. I think
Snake has been seen dating women. Both Bart and Lisa have had crushes
on members of their respectively opposite sexes. Otto nearly got
married. Smithers' homosexuality isn't a secret, and Lenny appears to
have an unrequited love for Carl. I could see it being Ned because of
the conflict between that and his religious views, but think it will
probably be Carl, who will capitulate to Lenny.

Not really. If you watched too much, you'd have been positive Snake
stole Mr. Burn's fiancee, who had once dated Snake, and also that CBG
dated both Mrs. Krabapple & Mrs. Skinner, and once kidnapped Lucy
Lawless so he'd have of woman of his own.
Groundskeeper Willy had been engaged to Sherry Bobbins ("After she
could see, suddenly the ugliest man in Edinborough just wasn't good
enough for her."), so maybe that lets him out.
It'd be kind of sweet if it were Carl. After all, he did go after
Lenny to save him from that burning oil rig.

Knowing how the Simpsons is, it will be Reverend Lovejoy.
Not that it proves anything, but Rev Lovejoy is married, Principal
Skinner was dating Mrs Crabapple, CBG dated someone who I think was
Mrs Crabapple, Moe dated Helen Hunt and I think someone else. I think
Snake has been seen dating women. Both Bart and Lisa have had crushes
on members of their respectively opposite sexes. Otto nearly got
married. Smithers' homosexuality isn't a secret, and Lenny appears to
have an unrequited love for Carl. I could see it being Ned because of
the conflict between that and his religious views, but think it will
probably be Carl, who will capitulate to Lenny.
I watch too much Simpsons
The gay marriage-themed episode is scheduled to air in January.
I'd think it would be the Scottsman. Don't ask why, I just do. ;-)

He would be a pedophile, though; neither hetero or homo.

Anyone who has ever watched a Simpsons episode knows who that is.

Simpsons ties knot with gay marriage
David Wood
Wednesday July 28, 2004
The feverish public debate in the US over gay marriages is to be played out
in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons, it emerged today.
The show's producers have revealed that the cartoon classic will feature an
episode in which gay marriage is legalised in Springfield.
Hints about the plot line were dropped by show producer Matt Groening at a
San Diego comic convention, where he revealed that Homer Simpson becomes a
minister by registering online.
Producer Al Jean added: "We have a show where, to raise money, Springfield
legalises gay marriage. Homer becomes a minister by going on the internet
and filling out a form. A long time character comes out of the closet, but
I'm not saying who."
Mr Groening even joked that it would be Homer Simpson who comes out in the
episode.
Simpsons fans have already begun speculating about who the most likely
character to come out would be.
Not that I think it's him, but so far no one seems to have mentioned
Krusty. (Who we know had a huge pornography collection, but it was
never specified in what genre).
Actually, thinking about it, he hasn't been around for a while, but
what about Sideshow Bob? He was always very flamboyant, and did sing
the entire score of HMS Pinafore to Bart as his last request when he
was going to kill him...
