LEGENDS only this week. We're talking America's longest-standing TV couple: Marge and Homer Simpson with legendary producer, writer, and showrunner of the Simpsons, MIKE REISS. We discuss why he feels the show has been successful for so long, the "rules" behind writing a couple for 30+ seasons on the air, and what is at the core of their relationship, and why they work despite Homer's MANY mistakes.

Marge & Homer: Talking "The Simpsons" w/ MIKE REISS

Welcome to Talking ‘Ship, a non-fictional podcast about TV's best (...and worst) fictional relationships. Each season we will discuss the extended flirtations, frustrating miscommunications, banter, break-ups, red flags and red letters of television couples. Why do we love them together? How did they mess it up? And most importantly… what can these fictional romances teach us about our non-fictional lives? We’re gonna get into it. How do you get out of a Luke Danes friend-zone? Was Jim a jerk when he started dating Karen? Did Fitz deserve Olivia? Would you have told your friend to choose Aiden? Maybe even the age old question: were Ross and Rachel on a break? What do we think? Let’s talk 'Ship.
