But should it happening so soon. I know closet Luddites everywhere are saying too soon and I might be inclined to agree. Remember though, it takes a bunch of junkie bad tech before we get to the good stuff. 3d tech was definitely the belle of the ball this year and I expect it to only get better. Don't get me wrong, I don't think home theaters will replace the cinema anytime soon, unless, of course, someone builds an IMAX addition onto their house. 3d tech might also have other applications at home, think video games, web, visual interfaces, etc. The future is exciting and although most of us recently dropped some serious cash on HD televisions but that's okay. The new tech probably won't maturate until next year or so. Still, I know most of us aren't ready for the jump. But, let's wait and see what happens.

Well, folks, "The Simpson's 20th Anniversary Special! In 3D! On Ice!", hosted by Mr. Morgan Spurlock, has just aired. What did I think? Well, I gotta be honest here, as interesting as much of it was I really wanted more. And I don't necessarily mean "more" as in quality or substance, I mean literally "MORE!"
Really, fellas, just one hour? You boast about it being the most successful television show ever and you thought one hour would suffice? Give me more interviews with actors,creators, or fans. Anything!
I want a Simpson celebration to get at least the same treatment that The Beatles got for their anthology in '95 on ABC. They got a six hour documentary, and they're not even that funny.
Also, if you are (or were, in light of the shows quality in these last few years) a Simpson's fan this special didn't really give you any information that you probably didn't already know. Nothing new under the Simpson sun, really.
The only novel contribution, at least for me, this special had to offer was a brief glimpse into the Simpson's fanbase in other parts of the world. I especially liked the citizens of Scotland feuding over Groundskeeper Willie's city of origin. It was also funny to see how many people, apparently, in Brazil couldn't take a joke.
So, overall, the special was decent, I'm always fascinated to hear fans/creators/actors talk about this phenomenon we call "The Simpsons", but its scope was too broad. Not enough details. Perhaps in another few decades a true and proper Simpson's retrospective will be made.
If I'm still alive I 'll definitely be checking it out, and hopefully, still, be quoting lines from the show everyday.
