just checked out of curiosity, s6e3 is a clip show, and s9e11 is a musical clip show

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 5 points 13 hours ago

I've watched nearly episode in the first 20 seasons of The Simpsons three times or more but I have always skipped those episodes

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 26 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I just (re)watched S9 E11 ("All Singing, All Dancing") last night, and it's fine but if I wasn't watching during dinner I'd have skipped the episode.

I know it's a clip episode, but it's probably my favorite clip episode. Snake's horrible singing, specifically the "Ooo ooo ooo" before the act break always sticks with me. The "Ough oouu uuuah".

That’s when you turn on the dvd commentary track

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 17 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

The idea of doing a clip show only 6 seasons in is diabolical.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 36 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

In the '70s/'80s, one clip show per season was pretty common.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's why we all love Community. In "Paradigms of Human Memory" (Season 2, Episode 21) it was super expensive because all the clips were new. It was a great episode in general too.

They also burned up a lot of great premises. But ya know what, that clip show was great. "It's all terrain, dummy."

Rick and Morty (also Harmon) did the same with the Mindblowers (or whatever it was called) episode. Also great.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 0 points 17 minutes ago

Interdimensional cable episodes were the original R&M clip shows but i think it got stale for Harmon so they did the mindblowers on the newer season

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, and nobody liked it. It was just there to save the show some money.

Cartoonists, too, need vacations

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

You could hire enough of them so they can get their vacation.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

I guess it made more sense back when people didn’t catch every episode. Still glad it’s not the norm these days.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Clerks the TV show did it for their 1st episode.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

It's the second episode but your point stands.

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Stargate SG1 had a clip show most seasons

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 39 minutes ago

But I forgave them because I knew they needed to save that money for the finales

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

Stargate did one in the first season.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago

The first clip show episode is actually season 4 episode 18, but the framing for the clips is so good that the episode is worth watching.
