This Week Tom's very excited about the change of Dial Codes that happened in the UK in the mid 90's and Mark is bringing Tandy back from the place where retail electronic shops went to die. Now, whatever happened to Pete Townshend's book? --- "A Tale of Two Springfields" is the second episode of the twelfth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 250th episode of the series overall in both broadcast and production order. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 5, 2000. In the episode, Homer discovers that Springfield has two different area codes and ends up leading a revolt that splits the town in two. The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Shaun Cashman and guest starred the Who. The episode was inspired by Don Payne, based on the area where his mother lived, where one side of town would spread rumors about the other side. Larry Doyle then pitched that the two sides of Springfield would be divided because of a telephone area code. The episode features cultural references to the Who and the Norman Rockwell painting Freedom of Speech, and has received positive reviews from critics. In November 2004, Channel 4 chose this episode to be the first episode to be broadcast on the channel, having taken the terrestrial rights to air the show from BBC Two.

This Week Tom tells us about the World Record for the largest Rice Crispy Square and we discuss what makes a 'loser Country'. --- "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" is the twentieth episode of the fifth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 5, 1994. In the episode, Mayor Quimby's nephew Freddy is wrongly accused of assaulting a waiter, with Bart being the sole witness to the true course of events. Since Bart cannot reveal what he knows without admitting that he skipped school, he faces the dilemma of either testifying on Freddy's behalf and facing punishment himself, or staying silent and allowing a miscarriage of justice. The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Jeffrey Lynch. The new character Freddy, voiced by Dan Castellaneta, was given the same type of cheekbones and nose as Quimby to make them resemble each other. The episode features cultural references to films such as Westworld, Last Action Hero, and Free Willy, and the fictional characters Huckleberry Finn, Eddie, and Darwin. Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver are also referenced in the episode. Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 10.1, and was the fifth-highest rated show on the Fox network the week it aired.

"The Simpsons" is probably the most famous American television series in history. It's the cultural landmark equivalent to STAR WARS, Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," and Michael Jackson's "Thriller."  It's had 33 seasons. Only news shows, NFL programming, soap operas and "The Tonight Show" have been on longer.   The show was developed by the legendary Matt Groening along with Oscar-winning filmmaker James L. Brooks and the multi-talented Sam Simon (who passed away in 2015 and his contributions to the world are sorely missed).  Along the way they hired many fantastic writers, producers and showrunners including Conan O'Brien, John Swartzwelder, Jon Vitti, Al Jean, etal.    Somewhere along the way they received a script called "Marge Gets a Job" from up and coming writers Josh Weinstein and Bill Oakley. They were hired as permanent writers and would be producers and showrunners for the seventh and eighth seasons and continue on for a total of six seasons.  Weinstein would win three Emmys for his efforts.    Weinstein and Oakley would go on to develop the problematic "Mission Hill" and be consulting producers on hit show "Futurama" and producers on "The Mullets." They went their separate ways and Weinstein went back to "Futurama," winning another Emmy. He went on to create and write for the shows "Strange Hill High" and "Disenchantment."   The Buzzards are excited to welcome Josh Weinstein to the fold as he deep dives on his illustrious career, all things "Simpsons," Sonic Youth, and whatever pops into his fervent, hilarious and deliciously wicked mind.    So, grab a six pack of Duff, have a donut and tune into another great episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ.   Please subscribe to us on our YouTube Channel and hit like on our audio only versions on Spotify and iTunes.

Absolutely love this from John Swartzwelder's recent interview with the New Yorker. "But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don't want you to do that.” “Then I won't do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script's been written. It's lousy, but it's a script. The hard part is done. It's like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I've taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way."

We're slightly delayed, but back with a new and terrible episode. Now does that mean the Simpsons episode is bad or our show? You'll have to listen to find out. Dan and Jack watch Season 11's Kill the Alligator and Run, one of the most requested episodes, then blame all of you for their subsequent inconsolable rage. Homer is depressed and needs a vacation, but unfortunately it's Spring Break and Kid Rock is there. Hilarity (?) and gator-cide ensue. Why is Homer's crippling depression done away with after an act break? John Swartzwelder wrote this one too? And should I stop the hypothetical questions and just post the damn episode? All that, plus, alligator related WEE-tractions, Schumacher-era Batman, and a Dalek exercise video inspired by Body by Jake.  NEXT WEEK: Season 21's The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed www.weepodcast.com
