Tonight was the season premiere of The Simpsons, and FOX promised to reveal what was going to happen with Nedna. If you missed out on last season’s finale and want to know what the heckeroonie a “Nedna” is, check out my recap of the episode here. If you missed this season’s premiere and want to know if Flanders and Edna are a couple or not, then continue reading past the break.
This past season of The Simpsons has been better than previous years, and Sunday night’s season finale supports this. In the episode, Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel begin to date after a chance encounter. The two begin to get serious, despite Flanders being against pre-marital sex while, as most Simpson viewers know, Edna tends to get around. The thing is that, as Flanders says in the episode, “we’ve never been formally introduced”, so he does not know about Edna’s chance. Eventually he does find out, and they have an argument, with Flanders saying that he forgives her while she angerly tells him her past is nothing to be ashamed of. The episode ends as Homer and Marge take control and urge viewers to go to the Simpson’s website and vote on whether “Nedna” should remain an item or not. The results on the online voting will be integrated in time for the season premiere this Fall.
So what’s my take on this? I’m all about the Nedna. Flanders has been alone for awhile now, despite his brief encounter with the country/church singer. I think it’s high time he have a woman, especially since he is one of the more central characters (being the Simpsons’ neighborino and all.) And they do say that opposite’s attract, which is exactly why Edna is a good match for him. Yeah, she is “easy” and a number of the male (and apparently a few of the female) citizens of Springfield have spent at least one night with her. Yet if you look at her character, she’s really just a romantic who wants to find Mr. Right. I guess I feel that Ned can indeed trust her, because even though she may put out on the first date, I don’t think she’s one to cheat on her current attachment. After all this time being a desperate single woman (when she wasn’t involved with Skinner) she deserves to finally find a good guy, and I think Ned can be that. Plus it will be hilarious to have two very different people together and living right next door, with Flanders being Homer’s foil while Edna is definitely Bart’s arch nemesis in a way.
So what do you guys think? Do you think Edna and Flanders are a good match not just for each other but for the general show as well? Or would you rather both of them return to their miserable lonely lives? Leave a comment with your thoughts, and be sure to vote and voice your opinion (the link to the site is embedded in the first paragraph.)

I popped on NBC at 9:00pm EST tonight to catch this week’s episode of The Cape, and was shocked to find that it was not on. After doing some online researching, I found that the show was not just being pushed back a week (as has happened several times this season), but has actually been canceled. Thus I am left to make yet another rant about a good show getting canceled before it’s time, much like My Name is Earl and Heroes. It’s funny how Earl, Heroes, and The Cape are all NBC shows…
The worst part of this is that it happened basically mid-season. Yeah, the season was almost over, with only two weeks left, but it is still upsetting to know that I won’t be watching any new episodes of The Cape on TV ever again. However, all is not totally lost. NBC has confirmed that “…the show’s season finale, which was to have aired this past Monday as part of a double-header, instead will premiere online at NBC.com sometime in March.” Read More
There are currently three shows that I say I am a true fan of, and will religiously watch them regularly when each new episode airs weekly: Lost, Heroes, and America: The Story of Us. However, all three of the shows are soon to be gone…the series finale of Lost is this Sunday, Heroes has been cancelled, and America is only a mini-series, which will be ending within two weeks. So the big question is: what the hell am I going to watch on TV now? I have nothing to look forward to!!!
The end of Lost is going to be sad. It’s been a solid show the entire series, and I hate to see it go. However, it had to happen at some point. I’m really excited for Sunday to see how they end this awesome series. I’m skeptical as to what they will do, and am afraid that something they will reveal will be completely retarded and I will hate the writers for it. Somethings are better left unexplained, such as the Force (miticlorients?!) and immortals (Highlander II claimed that all the immortals are aliens!!!) So if it’s a good explanation, then give it here, but if it’s a bunch of crap, I would rather not watch it, thank you very much.
Over the past few months, Shell and I have been watching through the four seasons of My Name is Earl from Netflix. We both enjoyed it immensely. It was a simple show, not flashy, and hilarious as heck. For those not familiar with the show, Jason Lee stars as Earl. Earl was a petty thief and overall low-life, until one day he wins the lotto and gets hit by a car. As he recovers, he begins to believe in karma, in that if you do good things, good things will come to you. On that note, he turns over a new leaf, and makes a list of all the bad things he has done in his life. Each episode generally focuses on Earl selecting one of the list items, meeting up with the people he wronged, and finding a way to make it up to them.
There are four seasons of My Name is Earl. Unfortunately, the cast and crew did not know this, and expected to continue making seasons. At the end of season four, NBC (who was airing the show) dropped them. The show attempted to get picked up somewhere else, but that never happened. Thus, the series finale ends with a huge cliff hanger that will never be answered.
Ive been pretty darn excited for tonights season finale. I was hoping it would be a two-hour special, but it was only an hour. In the end, I was pretty pleased, and the preview for the next season takes the show in a whole new area.
I didnt exactly like the idea of Tracy getting to Claire and Noah so quickly and helping them out. I wasnt sure what would happen, but I didnt expect it to be Tracy. Plus, I dont know where she was, but she got there conveniently quick.
I do like the direction that Sylar is taking. Making him out to be a hero was pretty cool. However, I was pretty sure that his powers were locked away in his mind so that he couldnt access them, but he did when facing Doyle (the Puppeteer.) Im thinking that maybe he couldnt use them because he did not want to be tempted to abuse them, but when he needed them to do “good”, they were readily accessible. I was half-expecting Sylar to kill Doyle in the end, but he did not, which was pretty cool.
So apparently last night was the second to last episode of the season, and it left off with plenty of loose ends. I was discussing it with Steve, and we both agreed that there is quite a lot of plot to cover before the season ends. Im optimistic that the last episode will be a two-hour special, but I doubt it.
The whole back story of Noah’s past was pretty awesome. It explains quite a bit about who he is and why he does what he does. I was a bit stupified with his “arranged” marriage with Sandra, but everything else was cool.
