Frinkiac does pretty much the same thing but in a more entertaining way: https://frinkiac.com/

It appears I can now confirm that the Sea Captain's name is only mentioned by a character (Lionel Hutz) in one line in Season 4. It does also appear to have been used in a caption in season 11, though not mentioned by a character. His first name is given as Horatio according to the Simpsons wikia but that doesn't seem to appear in the show as far as I can tell.

It would be nice if the search was case-insensitive! E.g. 'she' returns different data than 'She'.

I find it interesting how "Homer" has experienced a constant, steady decline in usage over time.

Very cromulent. Is the raw data available or is that unpossible to legally distribute?

So donut returns quite different results than doughnut. Is this just the script writers using their preferred spelling for doughnut, or does this come from transcription data (thus indicating a preferred spelling for transcribers)?

The word "Doh" doesn't even show up until season 8. I'm guessing it's not written out in the closed captioning?

Search does not appear to be case insensitive, nor does it group common words.

EDIT: apparently others discovered this an hour or so before me!

All good people should already have seasons 1-8 memorized. What else would anyone need?

there are no tick marks on the x axis.

This would be better if it was only 10 years of the Simpsons.
