(S19E16) SPRINGFIELD: GOOD --
The new town slogan that cost Mayor Quimby the entire treasury of Springfield.
When it comes to supporting characters The Simpsons have them up the proverbial wahoo. Many, like Flanders, Mr. Burns, Apu, and Millhouse, are distinct personalities with lengthy back stories that we the fans know quite well. Others, like Bumblebee Man, Cletus, Kent Brockman, and Comic Book Guy, are known, but only by the stereotypes that they have been given. Fortunately, most of them have been given spotlight episodes to flesh them out a bit more.
While these episodes have been hit or miss I have always found them to be quite interesting because they gave a different perspective on life in Springfield.

This week,
Martina McBride will be coaching the remaining seven
Idol finalists with their country music selections. McBride, considered the "Celine Dion of country music," will also perform her Top-5 single "Anyway" during Wednesday's live results show (April 18) on FOX.
Oh boy, this is going to be a rough week for me. I'm not much of a country music fan, so the songs aren't going to be familiar (unless they all perform Shania Twain or Faith Hill). The contestants already butchered Latin-themed music last week, under the guidance of Jennifer Lopez. But, I have a feeling that this week could be worse.

Listen up, Dixie Chick fans: it's time to spit shine your banjo, lace up your poo steppers, slap on your lucky velvet rhinestone cowgirl hat and step into your mechanical leather underpants with the built-in harmonica cause
VH1 Storytellers will be featuring the famous country trio October 28 at 9 pm.
VH1 Storytellers is a series that only airs intermittently, and next to the defunct
Sessions at West 54th and the PBS series
Austin City Limits, it's one of the better musical showcase series on television. Concerts are taped in an intimate setting, much like MTV's
Unplugged series, and features bands and musicians talking about their songs and what inspired them while also answering questions from fans in the audience. Fans can watch clips from the show on VH1's VSPOT right now by

Ah, now it's on, bee-otch! You may be able to get away with insulting the President, but no one talks smack about
The View. Wait, what am I saying? Everyone talks smack about
The View. It's incredibly talk-smackable, or smack-talkable, or whatever. Anyway, I missed this morning's episode because I was busy engaging in one of forty million other activities I enjoy instead of watching that particular yakfest, but apparently the ladies took some objection to a comment one of the Dixie Chicks made to
Newsweek. One member stated, "Would Bruce do
The View?" referring to Bruce Springsteen and his career path, which the Dixie Chicks hope to emulate. I'm not sure which is stranger to me, their attack on
The View or that they actually think they're in the same league as Bruce Springsteen.
