I have a feeling that after 300+ episodes, the idea tank over at the Simpson’s writer’s office is getting perilously dry.  The show is still very profitable and will always have a cult following.  So it’s my theory that the Simpsons will begin to take a page out of Hollywood’s book and remake old episodes.  They will be re-casted and modernized to make them culturally relevant today.  So here are just a few of the episodes you can expect to see redone this year.

FLAMING MOE’S
This time police officer Lou will be the mixer of the choice.  The back story will revolve around a stakeout at Disco Stu’s.  While Eddie and Lou are killing time, they take up consuming booze for fun.  A little rum here, a little schnapps there and to top it off, Lou will put in a hint of Listerine.  Then an errant road flare tossed by Jimbo Jones into the squad car ignites the drink.  Voila, a Flaming Lou has been created.  Don’t worry, Moe will steal the drink and Professor Frink will still believe the secret ingredient is love.  As Flaming Moe’s turns Moe’s Tavern into a hoppin’ club, Moe will still attract big name music acts.  But instead of Aerosmith, My Chemical Romance will play an intimate gig at the tavern.  The writer’s will change the ending, as Lou will beat down Moe in the back alley, but it will still be for naught, as Eddie spills the beans about the mysterious ingredient.

LISA THE GREEK
Here, instead of Lisa feeding Homer NFL picks in exchange for parental love, Lisa will instead give insiders information on cockfighting to the sarcastic salesman.  This time, Lisa will be doling out the scoop on rooster to rooster combat to help sarcastic man turn his life around, after Lisa accidentally cripples him with rancid vegan food.  With no legs or a will to live, the only thing that will bring the salesman back from the edge of self pity is sympathetic pity picks of a guilty girl in Kruty’s Foul Fights.  However, their bond will be tested as sarcastic salesman tries to lure Lisa into having Santa’s Little Helper battle the reigning champ of the Bad Newz Kennelz.  How will it end?  Catch it this Fall, with special guest star Michael Vick, on an all new Simpsons.

STARK RAVING DAD
Instead of Homer winding up in the crazy house with pseudo Michael Jackson, this spring Fox will air “Drederick’s Raving Mad.”  This episode will follow the oft-troubled producer of pain, Drederick Tatum.  Tatum, after losing a boxing match to a local hopped up Hobo, is forced back onto the streets as his manager Lucious Harris disbars him from his stable of brutal boxers.  Tatum, forced to turn tricks on the mean streets of Springfield, winds up at an Asylum for mentally ill celebrities.  Here he meets a man, who believes that he is famous.  As the two grow closer together, Tatum realizes that this man is not famous, but merely one time SNL member Chris Katan.  Upon leaving the crazy house, the two begin singing to random little girls on the streets and are quickly apprehended by Wiggum and Company.  In prison, Tatum defends off numerous hooligans, who are looking for love, Mango style.  The only question viewers will have is “Is that really Chris Katan’s voice?”  Find out this winter, on Fox.

KING OF THE HILL
Homer will no longer be climbing the Murderhorn, instead Reiner Wolfcastle will be advising Arnie Pie on techniques to take out Kent Brockman, once and for all.  In the biggest blockbuster of the season, angst filled traffic reporter Arnie Pie, will snap when he sees that Mr. Brockman is erecting a Lenin-esque statue outside his Springfield Estate.  Looking to take the law into his own hands, Pie hires the star of the McBain series to help guide him on a quest to become an average military marksman.  After many long nights and ammo trips to the Blood Bath and Beyond, Pie is ready to assassinate Springfield’s #1 TV anchorman.  Pie will need the assistance of local sherpas to get the job done?  Will he be able to do it?  Hell yeah, because he’s Arnie Pie!

So this is the crap that Fox is going to toss at us.  What episodes might you recast?
