Talking Simpsons - Burns' Heir With Eva Anderson
Added 2025-08-13 04:00:05 +0000 UTC"Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try." - Homer Simpson
When a brush with the reaper inspires Mr. Burns to seek out an heir, he quickly finds one in the form of Bart Simpson. But as Bart grows more estranged from his family, we find the true test of a son's love comes down to whether or not he'll execute his own father for a Blockbuster Video gift certificate.
Our guest: Eva Anderson

This truly is an all-time great episode with so many moments/jokes that are burned into my brain that it's almost impossible for me to pick a favourite. I am VERY partial to Homer's horrendously written speech, Michael Caine saying "b'oh," how far into the script Burns has to flip to find "d'oh," and every second of Hans Moleman. As much as I do love $pringfield, Burns' Heir is tied with Rosebud for me as the best Burns episode of the season.

It's a very unique vision and I love it for it. Also, LL Cool J's line of "I hate it when my food touches. I'm a military man, I want a military meal" has taken up permanent residence in my brain.

Sadly, he died after taking a fall in his house, and refusing to go to the hospital because it was his birthday.
