Yet another blurry Simpsons image.

Does anyone have access to the DVD or Blueray showing this scene?

I agree that it badly needs improvement in quality.

Perhaps we could even find a replacement. The character and the image fits perfectly, but if we found something good from some live action work, I would like that.

This is a trope that is very easily visualized, just show a weird looking old lady surrounded by cats. I think we can find one.

Here's a clearer one of the Simpsons lady, fresh from Gi S: [1]

[up][up]Looks JPEG-artifacted to me, but if the general consensus is to go for it...

4 looks much better. I wouldn't mind that one.

I looked around and find this one, one from Kids Next Door. How does this one look?

[up]Not crazy enough, in my opinion

I much prefer a Simpsons image, especially since it already has a great caption. I particularly like this one, because of her eyes:

[1]

The site I linked to has high-quality screencaps from nearly every episode. When I have more time, I'll go through the episodes that feature the cat lady and post more if this one isn't good enough.

@9 is a very good image of the Simpsons' Crazy Cat Lady. It has my [tup] for now.

I'm looking for some live action images, but so far nothing truly good has popped up. I've Googled two decent pictures, but it's not from any work of fiction and the ladies don't have the crazy look (perhaps just yet evil grin).

EDIT: I agree completely that the currect caption is great. Only I'd change the pothole in M.D. from The Medic to Hospital Hottie, because she was quite a looker and it better corresponds to Hello, Attorney!.

Yeah, it's hard to top Simpson's crazy look.

9 is the best so far.

9 is better than 4, but one thing bothers me. What is that faded rectangle in the background? There's also this version, but it has those damn vertical lines. [1] Perhaps with a little Photoshop magic, we could combine the two (or not, since they are different frames). Would anyone happen to know what episode this screenshot is from?

Actually, it's from this video. I think that episode was "Girly Edition." I'll see if I can make a better quality screenshot.

9 is the best overall, I just wish the cats weren't cropped so hard.

This is from a DVD, so it's not going to get much better than this. There was some artifacting, but that was from the source. Even so, I removed some of it, anyway. That rectangle was just an animation error.

Either 9 or 15 work for me.

15 is ok, but I slightly prefer 9 as the image is sharper.

My issue with 9 is that rectangle.

Hmm, I didn't notice the rectangle at first, but now when you pointed it out, it's hard to un-notice it. However, I love how bright that picture is compared to the one @15.

15 with auto brightness/contrast. Contrast is much higher. Brightness is a little higher.

I don't quite like the contrast on 15... colors seemed a bit drab, things didn't contrast quite as well, etc. So, a quick bit of auto-levelling later...


[up] Did we seriously just do this at the same time? Ha. (My filesize's smaller :V)
