Hi Underachievers,
It is a bit funny that I (like Bart) am not a fan of history yet here I am traveling through it, all the way back to October 11th 1990, when Bart was in the fourth grade… Wait, he still is in the fourth grade!
Now sit up and pay attention! There will be a test at the end of this post.
“Bart gets an “F””
Bart needs to pass a test… And that means, he needs a Miracle.
Hello Couch Potato(es) and Folks over at EA,
You may have seen one or two or thirteen of (my) Totbox’s Throwback Posts and since all of Season 1 has been written, I figure it’s time to reveal my ulterior motive… I have written them for many reasons (to keep me mentally busy, to see what other reader’s thoughts are on those episodes, to pretend I’m an important fixture to the TSTO Addict community) :p BUT my main purpose As Usual was hopes to get a little attention from EA itself (after all they are the true puppet masters of my gaming destiny). So I figure maybe if I gather all of Season 1 posts and link them, to form an Ultimate reference to Season 1 and the possibilities available, maybe they’ll take a peak and give me… I mean Us, some of those characters and things we have been wishing for.
I would like to call this “Hey EA, sEAson 1, COME ON!!!!!!” but I can’t neglect the readers here at TSTOA with a few more of my silly observation between Season 1 before diving into Season 2, After all did you see each post I made regarding Season 1? What if someone missed one? What if someone didn’t read any? 😮
Since I have a little OCD how about a little TLC (tender loving care) for my throwback posts? You can still access them by going to Behind The Game and selecting ThrowbackThursday but when you do you see the newest one and need to scroll down to read the older one. So I figure I’d make this “Season 1 TLC” (Throwbacks Listed Chronologically).
I hope your eyes are ready because here comes the first Totbox’s Throwback Season (1) Binge Read (which was another alternative title to this post) 😛
“Season 1”
School, Work, Home, what else is there? Hmm.. Holidays, Emotions, War, Nature, Crimes, Parties and MORE!!
Enjoy this installment of Throwback Thursday with Totbox!- Alissa
Hello again time travelers (and babies that don’t need sitting),
May 13th 1990, the season Finale of Season 1 of The Simpsons. The Simpson children are left home alone (with a thief/babysitter) which may have been the inspiration to “Home Alone” which premiered later that year on November 16th 1990. 😫
If you haven’t rewatched any of the Season 1 episodes I suggest you do. If you need to keep the kids busy while you binge-watch I suggest you get a babysitter or find their favorite video and keep replaying it for them. If you follow these instructions you too might have a memorable night like Homer and Marge in this episode.
“Some Enchanted Evening”
Homer needs to makeup to Marge for all the neglect he has done, solution: neglect the kids.

Greetings Illiterates, Wait a minute! You’re not illiterate… You are an imposter, You Are Really… *pulling your mask off* (Gasp/jinkies) A READER!!!! … Greetings to you too. 🙂
Mistaken identity and frame jobs have been around since time began… I mean, CRIME began (which was a long time ago) ;p so the first detectives were born!! Sherlock Stones and Watsand (or was that just an episode of the Flintstones? Who is to say the Simpsons are not the Flintstones or the Honeymooners’ Kramdens?) But I degress… Where was I? I have no CLUE…. OH Yes! It was I, talking/writing to YOU, in the POST, with a candlestick (or Tablet). It is all very mysterious. … Or is it?
Read on… (Suspenseful pause, followed by intimidating voice) If you dare (and I’ll probably drop the whole goofy detective narrator thing) :p
“Krusty Gets Busted”
Krusty has been framed many times (as a poster for kids bedrooms) but this time it’s a jury that thinks he’s a little crooked. :p
Bonjour and Happy Bastille Day to all of our French readers! Enjoy this installment of Throwback Thursday with Totbox!- Alissa
Bonjour The Simpsons Tapé Des Toxicomanes,
Moi French is a petite (how you say?) “not bien”, so I’m going to do the rest of the post en Anglais (I mean… “in English”). Time travelers are known to make a pit-stop in France because all the rich history and so here I am taking a “YES” (that’s the English form for “Oui” right?).
Though, you may have seen this episode already (or this post, if you are rereading it) join me anyway in a little Déjà Vu.
“The Crepes of Wrath”
Bart has been enlisted in the student exchange program to France and all he wants to do is WhINE :p
WOOKIEE UPDATE: Charcoal Briquette went live to celebrate Bastille Day for 4,000 Trading Cards. We’ll have more details in an upcoming Issue 3 Crafting Post.
So I goofed last night and forget to run this (blame it on the craziness of Issue 3 hitting), as we’re planning on two Throwbacks this week (Tot has something special in store for Thursday). So even though it’s not Thursday or Tuesday…enjoy this installment of Throwback with Tot!- Alissa
*exotic dancing* oops, I better stop. *covering up*
Hey Body-shamers and debauchers,
As a time traveler I’ve had many opportunities to watch (how to put this?) “various entertainment venues” but I try not to and do you know why? Because I’m embarrassed by the human body? Because it’s a bit too naughty for my liking? NO!! because I am afraid to run into ancestors at those venues (and embarrassed by the human body)! The exotic dancing arts are still a little taboo, so regarding this post the best thing to do is to not rely on details and be as vague as a plume of feathers. Raise the curtain and let’s put the spotlight on Episode 10. (And please no flash photography)
“Homer’s Night Out”
Bart takes a picture that gets Homer a little Overexposed.
Enjoy this week’s installment of Throwback Thursday with Totbox!- Alissa
Well hello loyal readers, 😉
Can I offer you some (dramatic pause) pointless factoids to get you in the mood (for a quick post)? I must warn you, it’s going to come either way (And did I mention quickly? and somewhat abruptly?). Bowling balls have been traced back all the way to ancient Egypt 3200 BC. and adultery well, that was much further back in time. Temptation in general, that was even earlier. Luckily there are examples of people whom can resist such allures. Now get your balls out, your head in the game and your mind out of the gutter.
“Life on the Fast Lane”
Marge goes Bowling, is she and Homer going to Split?
Just because I’m on vacation this week doesn’t mean the blog stops running…which means, it’s time for another Throwback Thursday with Totbox! Enjoy this week’s installment of a great episode! And I’ll see you all in just a couple of days! -Alissa
Hey You, Yeah You, I know who you are and I know what you did… Just kidding I don’t know anything but I bet you felt paranoid for a second :p
This episode seems to have two themes: guilt and needing to belong/fit in. Guilt is a powerful motivator, if you don’t believe me just ask your mother. :p The need to belong is… A need. Some folks will do the craziest things for acceptance, for example: I decided to write a bunch of posts based on the old episodes of The Simpsons :p , While others just make multiple comments within TSTOA posts… Do you feel guilty that I said that? (Wait, I do that too.)… Before I turn this into a Totbox Tell-All I’d really “Like” to present episode 8:
“The Telltale Head”
Sometimes popularity is a pain in the neck
It’s time for another Throwback Thursday with Totbox! We’re back to Thursdays this week…and hopefully for a while again. Enjoy this week’s installment, I know I did! 🙂
Howdy nature lovers,
Sometimes nature calls (in more ways than one) so, where do you go? In the woods? In the comfort of a luxurious RV? Or do you prefer staying at home? Whether you are a camper or a glamper The Great Outdoors is not only the title of a John Candy movie (in 1988) it is also a destination (assuming at the time you’re reading this there are still national forests and parks). :p
Question: How can you tell if a tree is really old? Answer: By the number rings. ANSWER THE PHONE you old saps! Please leave a message for the seventh episode of The Simpsons. 🙂
“The Call Of The Simpsons”
Homer puts his (Big)Foot in his mouth when he said: The Simpsons can handle the great outdoors (which he never said but worked with the concept of the clever synopsis)
It’s time for another Throwback Thursday Tuesday with Totbox! This week, because it looks like we will be getting an update, we’re going to run this throwback post on Tuesday. This will prevent it from getting overlooked with those looking for event info 🙂 Enjoy!-Alissa
*sigh*…*grunt*…hi… I guess…
I don’t want to bum anyone out, so I’ll try to get through this quickly and not get personal. Depression (or Melancholia)… You probably experienced it at some point in your life and thanks to cartoon characters like Eeyore, Charlie Brown and …Droopy dog (is he depressed? He always says “I’m Happy”… Whatever), it might be a little easier to get people who never had depression to visually understand it. Now with Season 1, Episode 6, there is one more poster child for the condition.
“Moaning Lisa”
Lisa might look yellow on the outside, but she is really Blue.
