The Simpsons' 35th anniversary is being celebrated with a double-length Christmas special streaming exclusively on Disney+. Writers and producers discuss the inspiration behind the special, the focus on Ned Flanders, the pairing of Homer and Ralph, and Pamela Hayden's retirement from the series.
originally hit screens with “ The Simpsons Christmas Special” on December 17th, 1989, and has been taking over the world ever since. Now the series is expanding even further with the very first double length episode now streaming with Disney+ . As part of the celebration for the 35th anniversary , and the Christmas holiday, there was quite a lot to break down.
That scene is so funny, and Homer has seen so many movies where people, like, a cute mailman might be Santa or something. He’s watched so many Hallmark movies with, like, a kind of old uncle who’d say “Hey, where’d he go? What do we hear on the roof?” Homer really took those in. That’s all subtext, of course. But, that’s what’s fun to me.I’m always very protective of Homer as a character. In doing so, there’s a moment when he’s sitting with Maggie and she’s putting little hats on his head.
Carolyn, you’d mentioned that you wanted to explore Ned in a greater detail, and it reminds me of the last time there was a big two-parter, “A Serious Flanders,” where we also got a big exploration of Ned. So from a creative perspective, what makes Ned so appealing as a character to explore with these longer stories?I think part of it is he has such a strong moral compass, so it is there’s something more to play with it, and he’s very clear about who he is and what he represents.
