And the Hits Keep on Coming

Last night's Flanders love-in was a near perfect microcosm of Zombie Simpsons crapitude: the Simpsons do something zany, Homer doesn't worry about it because he knows everything is going to be okay, everything turns out to be okay for some reason, the end.  Like much of Zombie Simpsons, there were a few chuckle worthy gags almost totally subsumed by the hurricane force torrents of "What the fuck?".

TV by the Numbers will have the ratings up in a few hours, in the meantime I'm setting the over/under at 7.1 million people.  There was no NASCAR preemption this week and it was the first time since November that new episodes have premiered on consecutive Sundays.  

Also, I have no idea why our main page here was blank for portions of yesterday, but it seems to be working now.  

Update:  Wow, 5.99 million, the under wins by a mile and my handicapping skills have been dealt another blow.  Zombie Simpsons got beat by the oxymoronically titled "Saturday Night Live Clips" on NBC.  The demographic numbers aren't as grim, especially among 18-34 year olds, but that's still a very sad number, the second worst of all time.  (The Josh Groban Power Hour holds that distinction.)  Still, it's always nice to get good news on a Monday.
