It's brief and tasteful, which is somewhat of a relief given how they dealt with Maude. Though years and years later, they do an episode about Ned having a crisis of faith that plays off of Edna's passing, which was surprisingly affecting!

Awesome! It's at least an interesting topic for the show to try to tackle, which I appreciate.

To your point, you never really see Rod or Todd interact with Bart or Lisa in the classroom like you do Milhouse, Nelson, Ralph, Janey etc. - just in the neighborhood. They're mostly in a separate sphere.

There's an episode from after Ned and Edna get married where they move Rod and Todd from a private religious school into Springfield Elementary because Edna worries they're not getting a good education. But you do see them at Bart and Lisa's school a few times before that. It's inconsistent.

Adorable! Sounds like some good parenting to me.

If you're interested, it's worth checking out the "What We Left Behind" documentary about the show hosted by Ira Steven Behr himself. The writers get together and pitch a hypothetical revival season, which sounded pretty great!

Aw, that's wonderful! I have a similar story of watching the series in bits and pieces in sydication when I was a kid and not really getting it, only to be blown away when I went back and watched it as an adult. Some truly bold and moving television!

What a show, right?

I didn't have much in the way of expectations for those Lego Star Wars shorts, but I ended up thinking they were a ton of fun and brimming with affection for all things Star Wars.

Yeeeeahhhh, it's taken on a life of its own, for better and for worse

What's funny is that Karl Urban came to the closest to doing a straight up impression of DeForrest Kelley, and it still worked like gangbusters. If/when SNW introduces Bones, I'm really curious if they'd try to cast Urban again since he'd still be roughly age appropriate.
