Lost Simpsons Episode

BESman

Fox has a weird way of counting Simpsons episodes. They refuse to count a couple of them, making the amount of episodes inconsistent. The reason for this is a lost episode from season 1.

From what has been pieced together, the lost episode was written entirely by Matt Groening. During production of the first season, Matt is reported to have started to act strangely. The episode's production number was 7G06, the title was Dead Bart. The episode labeled 7G06, Moaning Lisa, was made later and given Dead Bart's production code to hide the latter's existence.

A very old Simpson's fan forum had a user who knew one of the production staff on the show who sent him a link to a very dodgey version of the episode. The thread was soon locked and the forum has since been shut down, but users have described the contents of the brief clip as follows:

The episode started off like any other episode, but had very poor quality animation. If you've seen the original animation for Some Enchanted Evening, it was similar, but less stable.

The episode was about the Simpsons going on a plane trip, near the end of the first act, the plane was taking off. Bart was fooling around, as you'd expect. However, as the plane was about 50 feet off the ground, Bart broke a window on the plane and was sucked out.

Act one ended with the shot of Bart's corpse. When act two started, Homer, Marge, and Lisa were sitting at their table, crying. The crying went on and on, it got more pained, and sounded more realistic, better acting than you would think possible. The animation started to decay even more as they cried, and you could hear murmuring in the background. The characters could barely be made out, they were stretching and blurring, they looked like deformed shadows with random bright colors thrown on them. There were faces looking in the window, flashing in and out so you were never sure what they looked like. This crying went on for all of act two.

Act three opened with a title card saying one year had passed. Homer, Marge, and Lisa were skeletally thin, and still sitting at the table. There was no sign of Maggie or the pets.

They decided to visit Bart's grave. Springfield was completely deserted, and as they walked to the cemetery the houses became more and more decrepit. They all looked abandoned. When they got to the grave, Bart's body was just lying in front of his tombstone, looking just like it did at the end of act one.

The view zoomed out as the episode came to a close. The tombstones in the background had the names of every Simpsons guest star on them. Some that no one had heard of in 1989, some that haven't been on the show yet. All of them had death dates on them. For guests who died since, like Michael Jackson and George Harrison, the dates were when they would die. The credits were completely silent, and seemed handwritten.

A thought occurred to me that you could try to use the tombstones to predict the death of living Simpsons guest stars, but there's something odd about most of the ones who haven't died yet. All of their deaths are listed as the same date.

Check out the post by KI Simpson

Edit: On the next page he even makes some edits based on other peoples suggestions

Also, even if it was real, I wouldn't have been surprised they didn't air it. Sounds like a terrible episode

Was there a smoke monster and a moving island in it too?

I've seen this exact post before. It's a copypasta from 4chan. Ignore it, OP is a troll. Just google sections of the post and they appear a milion times in other forums

Troll smoll.

Springfield does not exist...

Could it just be that it was a bad episode as opposed to a big cover up??

There is also the question of the mickey mouse film. On the subject of weird cartoon Disney apparently made a pro nazi cartoon back inthe 40s. Similar I guess to IBMs business relationship with the Nazi party.

Regarding the Mickey Mouse film, I think you're referring to Suicide Mouse, link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWPbnwsIeE

I like to watch it last thing at night before I go to bed with the lights off. Gives me an enormous sense of well being.

i would have respected the creative writing skills if the OP had cooked this up himself but, as already pointed out, it's a cut and paste job (plagiarism).

Oh contrare, this is not creative writing, this if life imitating art, read on if you wish, but it would be advisable to illuminate the room first. Any attempt to foil my real life experience with a google search will only prove futile. This is very real and has only been told once, here, now...

I pieced my original post together from the phone call I had with David Silverman (who also provided me with a VIP pass to the Simpson's studios but I declined because I have severe agoraphobia). That is the exact transcript I recorded in my journal following that conversation. My hand trembled with fear with each stroke of the pen, slipping on occasion from fear induced perspiration (the worst kind of perspiration, fear is more potent than BO). I locked the journal away in my bedside locker for years, refusing to accept the hair tingling truth, the unimaginable horror, the infernal abomination and immeasurable monstrosity that the journal contained. Maybe I'm naive, I guess I hoped that eventually I would forget, that it never happened. Kind of like when you notice a minute detail of difference in your home that you could of sworn wasn't there a moment ago. A book in a different location to where you thought you left it, towels that were neatly on the rack are now on the floor, and so on. Rather than second guess ourselves, we tend to accept it. Fear of the unknown can sometimes prove more desirable than confronting what we know in our hearts to be true. I guess thats what I attempted to do here.

It nearly worked too. Eventually it reached a point where I questioned my own sanity. Had I conjured up an elaborate fallacy? To what end, scaring myself to oblivion for no obvious purpose? It provoked me to the very edge of reason. I had to determine once and for all if it were all my own imaginings, an all too realistic nightmare that crossed the very realm of reality. There was only one way to put an end to this. I had to reopen my locker and read that accursed journal. I grabbed the key, the throbbing of my heart caused such a tumult that I could barely hear myself think, which was actually a comfort on this occasion as I didn't want to think. This had to be done in a similar fashion to a bandaid, quick and painless as possible.

I opened the locker. A stale odour emerged. I grabbed the journal, now caked in a fine blanket of the fragments of time. Beneath the dust and smut was an identifiable cover, I established at least that the journal existed. I opened it and flicked through in the same way one might half heartedly observe a horror film through the paltry gaps between your fingers. To my surprise the journal was blank. I could have sworn I had made other entries prior to that telephone conversation. But I can't be sure of anything anymore. As I flicked through, a page fell out. I picked it up. It was blank on one side. I turned it over. The blood drained from my face. In the centre of the page was a crude drawing of Homer, Marge, Lisa...and Bart standing around a grave. I could just about make out the name on the tombstone, as it was a very familiar name, my own. I could also make out the day and month but the year was partially obscured by Marge's hair. I immediately placed the page back into the journal and threw it in the locker.

I quickly logged onto every chat room I could think of and posted what I could remember of the original description of the episode, as mentioned above I suffer from agoraphobia so I was unable to physically tell the world. I did this under a number of different usernames to hide my identity. I wanted to warn others and more importantly see if anything similar had happened to people like me. I'm becoming extremely anxious. That was a year ago. While others have many dates they wish to celebrate throughout the year, I have one which I hopelessly try to avoid.

The date on the tombstone is tomorrrow.

so bad it's good!

So what about the fact that I pointed out that the KI Simpson guy (which you seem to be claiming was you) made edits to the story based on other people's suggestions? Remember something else from your phonecall?

I like people. I'm very open to suggestions and listened to their opinions and incorporated them into the description. I can't believe you don't believe that what I believe is believed to be true by believers.

Why did you wait so long between posting there and posting on here?

If that was your original post then go back on that forum and update the thread. Then we might believe you.

I've lost most of the passwords. They were all random digit codes. Foolish in hindsight but I was preoccupied by my possible impending death.

Right, I'm locking this. If anyone can think of a genuine reason to reopen it then feel free to give me a buzz.
