info:

This Simpsons episode database was written using PHP and MySQL. The code for the entire site (including images) is ~15k. The data is kept in a MySQL database and entered manually through the administration front end phpMyAdmin. I wrote the code originally to be used for medical abstracts with links to journal pages as a "proof of concept" that never got off the ground. I really should finish entering the data, but it's very time consuming. Most of the information is obtained from the internet and episode books. I'm a Simpsons fanatic.

Summary: Homer ruins a town celebration by defacing a public landmark, and in the process deprives Lisa of a chance to read her poetry in front of a crowd. Discouraged, Lisa decides to publish her writing in her own newsletter, which becomes under threat of corporate takeover after Mr. Burns buys all the media outlets in town. Instead of selling out to Mr. Burns, Lisa goes underground, but when Mr. Burns pays Homer to spill dirt on Lisa and undermine her enterprise, Lisa becomes disillusioned and gives up on her writing. But Homer sees the error of his ways and publishes his own work, encouraging the people to read what they want to read.
