The Simpsons Renewed for Season 33 & 34
Who the hell is still watching this show?
https://deadline.com/2021/03/the-sim...ox-1234705714/ I still see tons of Simpsons memes from the golden era, but I don't think I've heard anyone talk about watching new episodes in 15 years. I think the episode where I realized that the show had turned to shit and gave up on it was "Kill the Alligator and Run." That one aired 20 years ago. And, truthfully, the show had been pretty crappy for a couple of years at that point. It's just mind blowing to me that there are still enough viewers to keep the show on the air. Anybody here still watch the new episodes every week? |

Did you watch any of Halloween episodes after season 9? Those used to be really good, but the last couple I didn’t think were very funny. |

Top Two: Season 09 - "Fly vs. Fly" Season 12 - "Night of the Dolphin" (Good enough to fit in the classic era) The next three are just ok. Some good jokes. Some duds. Season 13 - "Hex and the City" Season 13 - "House of Whacks" Season 16 - "The Ned Zone" The season 25 Halloween episode was surprisingly...not terrible. It has a cool intro designed by Guillermo del Toro. Season 25 - "Oh the Places You'll D'oh" (A clever Seuss parody) Season 25 - "Dead and Shoulders" (weakest segment) Season 25 - "Freaks no Geeks" (a parody of Tod Browning's Freaks) Three that I'm not crazy about but seem to be popular with Simpsons fans: Season 14 - "Send in the Clones" Season 20 - "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse" Season 26 - "The Others" There is a Halloween episode that isn't in the Treehouse of Terror trilogy format. It's season 27's "Halloween of Horror." Fans seem to love it, but I think it's fairly mediocre. The first act is good at least. Last edited by Mennonite; 04-10-2021 at 03:03 PM.. |

Alright, I was bored and had nothing better to do so I watched every episode that I hadn't seen before. It was a huge waste of time because the show has been dogshit for 20 ****ing years. Not only does it suck, it actually sucks so bad that it kind of makes me think less of the earlier seasons too. That's how bad it is.
Anyways, here are the episodes that I consider ok that came out after the golden era of seasons 1-8: Season 9: The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson Lisa's Sax Miracle on Evergreen Terrace Dumbbell Indemnity Simpson Tide King of the Hill Lost Our Lisa Season 10: The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace Season 11: Brother's Little Helper E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt) Last Tap Dance in Springfield Behind the Laughter (should have ended the series right here) Season 14: The Dad Who Knew Too Little (The last truly good episode, imo.) Season 17: The Seemingly Never-Ending Story Season 18: The Haw-Hawed Couple Season 25: Treehouse of Horror XXIV Four Regrettings and a Funeral Season 26: Simpsorama (both shows deserved a better sendoff, but it's still worth a watch) Fair warning: I have shitty taste. Here's a list of later day episodes that are popular with Simpsons fans that I don't particularly care for. Most of them have ok plots, but I just don't find them very funny. Halloween of Horror Eternal Moonshine Of The Simpson Mind Holidays of Future Passed Barthood Brick Like Me 24 Minutes The Book Job Steal This Episode The DeBarted 22 for 30 Flanders' Ladder Moe Baby Blues A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again The Way of the Dog Trilogy of Error Eeny Teeny Maya Moe To Cur with Love HOMЯ There Will Be Buds The Wife Aquatic Last edited by Mennonite; 04-27-2021 at 11:33 AM.. |

I have and love the DVDs of the first 8 seasons, but noticed its a show that is getting pretty outdated because of the cultural references. Not as bad as something like the Critic, but definitely noticeable. I guess its a compliment that it avoided that for 20-30 years.
I still bust out the Treehouse of Horrors episodes every Halloween. |

One thing I noticed about modern Simpsons fans is that they aren't as old as I thought they would be. I assumed that today's audience consisted mostly of people who watched the show in the 90s. It turns out that most of them seem to have started watching the show after the year 2000. Oddly enough, all of them still seem to prefer the older episodes though I can't imagine that they understand some of the jokes, some of which were dated even when they were new. I'm pretty good at remembering episode titles for most of the shows that I like, but I'm also big making lists to keep track of shows and movies that I've watched. |
