Further proof that I need a life
On the Simpsons this evening (which is getting decidingly less and less funny each time I watch), Bart goes to see a psychiatrist.
Mistake- On his psychiatrist's door, she is referred to as PhD, not M.D... meaning she is not a psychiatrist at all, but one of us (aka. a psychologist). This would also explain her use of projective techniques rather than ritalin!
Correct- Bart is only able to see his psychologist for the 5 sessions paid for by the school. Ahhhhh.... the joys of managed care.
His issues are remained horribly unresolved at this point, although, granted, his therapist did a pretty poor job of preparing him for termination and the associated abandonment issues he experienced.
I am such a geek.

Did you see the episode of Family Guy on last night?! HILARIOUS!
That's true about The Simpsons, less and less funny. Maybe it's due to aging?
Oh, there was a time that I made at least a half-dozen Simpsons references a day. There was a Simpsons reference for every event in life. Now I can't even remember when I last watched the show. It's time for it to go.
Lmizzle- Sadly I did not. I had slacked off so much over the weekend that I had permitted myself only a half an hour break Sunday evening. A grad student unfortunately has to be one's own dungeon master!
Eve- Hi!!! Lovely for you to stop in! It could be, I guess. After 20 or so years, there may just be no jokes left.
Dorky Dad- Yeah, my conversational Simpsons quotes have seriously dropped off. I'm really scared that the movie may be beating a dead horse.
I love the Simpsons, as they are one of our most valuable sources of satire.
But I do agree that it's a tired formula.
By year twenty, I bet you they're gone. A nice round number to end an incredible run, a full generation long.
You are such a geek! But that's what makes you so awesome.
