Alone Again, Natura-Diddily (The Simpsons)
This doesn't seem like a proficient fashion to impale off a minor recurring character...
Series: The Simpsons Office of Season: 11 Episode Number: 14 Air Date: February thirteen, 2000 Writer: Ian Maxtone-Graham Director: Jim Reardon Previous episode: Saddlesore Galactica Adjacent episode: Missionary: Impossible

"There are Simpsons episodes that have fewer good ideas in them, demonstrating just how bereft the show is of ideas and characters ("Lisa Goes Gaga"). At that place are Simpsons episodes that have technically been objectively more decrepit with poorer plotting and dialogue ("Saddlesore Galactica"), and those that accept been more offensive in terms of declining to measure what type of shock value is advisable. By those standards alone, "Alone Once more, Natura-Diddily" doesn't get its infamy. To me, this episode earns its ire considering it demonstrates that the prove has irreversibly lost its soul. From the raison d'etre to the execution, to the blitheness (lifeless and lacking), to the label, to the horrid mixture of the meta and the tragic, to everything in betwixt, at that place is no other episode of the Simpsons more than destructive to the universe and characters that was done this poorly. It is the perfect storm of wretched, one that the show can never really recover from, has never recovered from, and in my opinion, will never recover from. This is The Simpsons' Twin Dilemma. It's Night In Sickbay. The bear witness's official dethroning moment of absolute suck. The half-hour when everything bad about the bear witness formally caused the bottom to fall out, and the remains to hit rock bottom and keep digging. The day that whatsoever other animated bear witness could formally acceleration it from the pinnacle of contemporary animated television. (Which it did. Several times.) "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" is, to me, the moment The Simpsons truly becomes a zombie – soulless, vapid, and something that can't be rescued as much as it needs to exist euthanized. Congratulations, Ian Maxtone Graham and Mike Scully. As far every bit I'm concerned, you broke what was once the greatest Boob tube testify of all time."

— The Review Nebula^[1]

Alone Again, Natura-Diddily is the 14th episode of Season 11 of The Simpsons. It was aired on February 13, 2000, and is the episode where Maude Flemish region is killed off.

Plot

After Maude Flanders is killed in a freak accident involving a t-shirt cannon, the Simpsons endeavour to console a grieving Ned Flanders.

Bad Qualities

1. The episode fails to deliver due to the insignificance of Maude Flanders as a grapheme.
2. It rushes the plot; Ned loses his wife, grieves, dates again, has a crisis of faith, meets a potential new married woman, and regains his faith all in 24 minutes.
3. Another problem is the way that Maude dies in it; her decease feels rather rushed and lazy and it feels as well much similar an in-your-face up type of death, due to the fact she is just suddenly killed by getting shot by a t-shirt gun which causes her to fall to her death off the stadium.
4. There's no reason why they couldn't take fabricated something out of Maude'due south decease, considering that the show had previously managed to produce a very touching episode about the expiry of Bleeding Gums Murphy, a graphic symbol who'd merely had one focal episode and a couple of minor cameos, in "Round Springfield". Instead, Maude's death feels similar just some modest plot device to become the episode underway.
5. The only reason why Maude was killed off was that Maggie Roswell, her voice actress, departed from the show in 1999.^[2] If they wanted to finish using her in the show, they could have merely retired her graphic symbol off the show similar to how Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz were retired when Phil Hartman died.^[3]

Good Qualities

1. To be fair, even though Maude wasn't a pregnant character in the first place, the episode does lampshade this in Reverend Lovejoy'south speech at her funeral.
   • Also, while she didn't exactly deserve to dice, non many fans liked her graphic symbol, and then her being killed off is far from a large deal.
2. Despite arguably being at fault for what happened to Maude, Homer at least feels bad for the incident that occurred and this episode is one of the rare moments Homer feels sympathy for Ned.
3. There are a few funny scenes such as Ned telling God that he won't go to church, merely and then going anyway while repeatedly apologizing to him.

Trivia
