In today's Maudecast, we scoop up the slop, dish out the detritus and go through the Maudebins as we look at credits, commercials and couch gags. Heck of a rider through them slivers! Also we are trying to deal with all of our Internet Museums burning down!!!
After last episodes unfiltered, unbridled content chaos, the MFIDBTHR Team have decided to slow things down this week in a sort of “Cleaning up house” episode. What? Now? With so much future content? You already know the answer. What if I were to tell you Maude was in 90% of episodes between Seasons 2 and 20? You’d think I was INSANE wouldn’t you. Well I am. But also she is, thanks to the Opening Credits Sequence- created by Kevin Petrilak! It may only be a fleeting glimpse, but it’s a glimpse nonetheless. Back in Season 4’s “Marge Vs. The Monorail”- written by Conan O’Brien and directed by Rich Moore- before she was being shut down by Homer for her attempt to discuss a blazing town fire, Maude was appearing in her very first couch gag! Then we return to our regular Maude timeline for a look at “Marge Be Not Proud”- written by Mike Scully and directed by Stephen Dean Moore- and Maude doesn’t show up in person for this one, yet she still shows up. Finally to round things up, we head back to 1993 and take a look at our first out of show clip. That’s right, in 1993 Butterfinger came knocking with a big Honeycomb cheque and Maude weren’t not saying no to that. Please, for Christ’s sake, enjoy.
