Omar Harris Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Ok I haven't been watching the Simpsons in a long time and I saw the episode like two weeks ago (where Homer takes over Mo's). Well in that episode I saw Barney with his hair slick back and clean and he was drinking coffee! So I want to know, when did Barney become sober? And how and why for that matter?

Shy Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1]Ah, a very simple question indeed... During Barney's birthday party he became so drunk that he started wearing Marge's and made a complete idiot out of himself. The next day everyone made fun of him for what he had done at the party but Barney didn't remember any of it. He decided to give up alcohol from that day on, and took up Helicopter Piloting as a hobby. Barney is now clean and sober, but he is addicted to the coffee that Moe sells him.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Damn US gets Simpsons episodes before us UK'ers, and please for gods sake put a spoiler on, now I freaking know what happens! *bangs head against wall in frustration* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 No drunk Barney anymore. How are they going to run with that plotline? AT least he's still addicted to something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Harris Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Whoa! Three years! I haven't been watching new episodes at all if it is that old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I don't think Barney is sober yet in the episodes being shown here either. The last one I saw was when Bart goes to Nelson's house and shoots a bird..... :drunk: But then I missed a few after that. :D Ah well..... *goes to video store and rents 3 Simpsons videos* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 The last Simpsons episode I saw was the one where they get the record for the SPOILER fattest town. Then Homer says "In your face Milwaukee!"... I'm so embarrased now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 The thing about The Simpsons, is that some jokes and things carry on between episodes and some don't. Barney has been in Moe's and other places getting drunk since that episode. Another good example of something they basically just ditched was all of Skinner's Nam flashbacks as a Sergeant. They messed all that up by introducing the [i]real[/i] Seymour Skinner. Hans Moleman has died countless times. There are quite a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkmoon Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I heard that they stopped makeing new eppisodes (might be spoiler) after they made the one were the Simpsons went to Toronto. Either that or it was the one were they went to that place to save the orphan kid (never saw that one completly)... I've barly ever watch it anymore because they're mostly reruns now.

Shy Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1]No, the Simpsons are still making new episodes, and there will be at least another year according to their contract with FOX. The truth is that the Simpsons is still one of the most popular shows on tv, and easily the most popular comedy on FOX.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Not in the way they did it. In his previous flashbacks he was in charge in a good deal of them. Even The Simpsons creators have admitted that it makes little sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Simpsons, its my fav show ever, but i have to admit it seems to be losing its funniness(i think i just made a word up). Theyre running out of good storylines. Honestly, in the past two seasons there havent been any episodes that are as good as the old ones. Maybe they should have quit while they were ahead.

[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, the Simpsons are running out of steam. The lack of good material and having to compete with all the other primetime or whatever shows could also be draining the comedy. I've seen most of the simpsons episodes at least twice (and am now sadly considered a walking encyclopedia of details to my friends) and it has gone far down hill. Also, with the plot holes and all...they never show homer at work in the reactor anymore. They never show Bart and Lisa at school anymore. Bart and Lisa have both graduated their respective school levels more than once. They have been kicked out of every state, except the one they live in, and have had to resort to traveling out of country. And, you never see any of the old folks anymore, or most of the kids. Radioactive man is gone, the comic book guy is dead, and there are many other things missing from the general plot. Geez...I watch this show too much...

Guest SunRiZe Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I never really realised that all those characters were gone. Maybe Radioactive man decided on a fulltime job as an Otaku avatar :p Anyway, as to barney sobering up. I think I remember that episode. and he took up helicopter flights. But i am sure he's back to being the good 'ol drunk barney :alcohol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my friends are getting sick of me reciting scenes from the Simpsons. Come to think of it, they try to avoid talking about the Simpsons when I'm around. HAHAHA but there is no escaping my wrath! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
