"I can't be held responsible for what my goons were ordered to do!" - Charles Montgomery Burns After yet another brush with death, Mr. Burns realizes the people of Springfield would rather dance on his grave than celebrate his legacy. But instead of committing various good deeds to restore his reputation, he buys every media outlet in town, except for one holdout: Lisa Simpson's Red Dress Press. As his grip on the fourth estate grows even tighter, we find out if ponies, power outages, and even Milhouse-based misinformation will get Lisa to fold.

Talking Simpsons - Lady Bouvier's Lover With Toby Jones
"You know, you remind me of a poem I can't remember, and a song that may never have existed, and a place I'm not sure I've ever been to..." - Abe Simpson Marge plays matchmaker and forges a love connection between her mother and Abe Simpson, despite Homer's protests that this pairing will make their children retroactively inbred. But their cozy senior romance takes a turn for the worse when Mr. Burns enters the picture and sweeps Jackie off her feet with his incredible dancing and kissing skills. Listen in, for each Talking Simpsons could be your last!

Talking Simpsons - Bart-Mangled Banner With Brendan James
"Son, I've learned one thing in this life. To stay out of trouble, just say nothing. Don't rock the boat. Don't even get IN the boat! Just buy some ice cream and walk around the pier. But don't go in the bathrooms; they're filthy." - Homer Simpson When Bart unwittingly moons the American flag, the town of Springfield ends up in hot water, and The Simpsons eventually find themselves imprisoned in a reeducation camp. As this political satire unfolds, we must ask ourselves if it's possible to be critical of the current administration while refusing to mention the President—or any other politician—by name.

Talking Simpsons - The Boy Who Knew Too Much With Jordan Morris
"I know you can read my thoughts, Bart. Just a little reminder: if I find out you cut class, your ass is mine. Yes, you heard me. I think words I would never say." - Seymour Skinner When Bart plays hooky and witnesses what results in Springfield's trial of the century, he finds himself up to his neck in hot chowder. Or is it chowdah? Whatever the case, if you don't listen for our sake, do it for McGarnigal.
