1. Forgotten Characters | 04/20/2008 1:33pm

Any thoughts on the following questions?

Who in the Simpsons, to your disapointment, do you think has been neglected or practically forgotton over the years? My choices are the Twins, The Vicars Wife, Apu's wife and Marges mum - Or did she die?

Only chosing one out of those and the charecters who have always been in the background but have bearly ever been used would you like to see get a big role in a future episode the most? I'd have to pick the Twins - In a showdown with Bart

And for the sake of it...Who out of the backgrround charecters which are regularly used do you think have now been used too much? I'm going with Moe.

Sadly everyone except Homer.

Only chosing one out of those and the charecters who have always been in the background but have bearly ever been used would you like to see get a big role in a future episode the most? Superintendant Chalmers.

I'm wondering if we will ever see Colin again (other than the cameo in the opening sequence for "He Loves To Fly, And He D'ohs").

It's time to bring Herb back. Would have been a better choice than dredging up Larleine a few weeks ago

No Herb, he wasn't that funny. I'd rather see Mindy Simmons (Michelle Pfeiffer) again.

He was the one armed guy from Bart the General. I think Hank Scorpio should come back. He was an awesome villain.

Oh yeah, Herman. I forgot his name, they usually don't say it. But he comes on periodically.

I think that Herb should come back. He was forgotten after about 16 seasons ago.

A background character that has been used to much?
Well not sort of a background character but Mr burns has been used way to much in season 19

Mr. Burns is a popular character. The reason they use him frequently is because he's a fan favorite.

I think they should use Gil less often. I don't find him that funny.

Unless I'm forgetting, Mr. Burns has only been used three times this season. The first time was in the first episode this season, He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs. The second time he was in the last episode, Mona Leaves-a. The third time was The Homer of Seville. Other than those 3 appearances, I don't think he was used at all.

I would say that Cesar, Ugolin, Herb, Hank Scorpio, Nelson's Dad, Mason Fairbanks, and Number One should come back.

The only I agree with on your list is Number One. The rest I didn't care for.
