  • How does the naming scheme of the episodes work

    From Tre_brock@3:633/280.2 to All on Tue Dec 17 10:11:22 2024
    The most recent episode on this newsgroup is 36ABFO3, does that mean
    season 36 episode 3?

    03 (not the letter O), but yes and no... it is the third episode of
    production season 36, but the second of that run to air, and the 9th
    episode of air season 36 (which is how most people count). This is
    actually only the second season in Simpsons history where the production
    code prefix is intuitively understandable.

    As it happens, a history and exploration of the code styles just got a
    big update (with more in the works), so if you're really curious, check
    it out. Simpsons-specific info is near the top. https://simpsonsarchive.com/guides/pcodes.html
