Fortnite X The Simpsons may be happening

This just makes me remember how good The Simpsons used to be.
I bailed on the Simpsons around Season 17 or 18 and thought good riddance. They were doing dumb shit like having grandpa marry patty. Or santas little helper became a narc or something like that. There was even an episode where Lisa seemed dumb and I just felt like they'd lost the core of the characters and what made them all so good. Last year I was talking to a friend of a friend and sorta getting to know them and I asked him what his favorite show was and he immediately says the Simpsons and I'm like, oooh reaaaally. I brought up all my complaints and he listened and then told me that they got better and he agreed with my points but that the show was genuinely good again. I told him I would watch and see and I did and you know what, the show is good again. I would even say very good, the last Halloween episode is one of the best of all time. Nothing will touch the shinning but this one was great. There are tons of great episodes and they sorta just adopted a new way of doing things where time doesn't really exist and yeah it can get ridiculous but its fun and the humor is on point and often scathing towards politics and big corporations like it was when it was a scrappy newcomer. I have genuinely fallen back in love with the show and its awesome cause my son is 9 now so its something we enjoy watching together. I just have to pretend those seasons from 17-20 just sorta don't exist. Cause they got baaaad. Although I think 20 or 21 is when you start to see some improvements... Anyways, if you haven't watched in a while like I had not, you might be pleasantly surprised. No, I don't think the first 8 to ten seasons will ever be topped, but there are some episodes in the newer seasons that are up there with the best in my opinion.

Basically seasons 12-19 are the worst. Season 20 is when the show switched to HD after the first 9 episodes, and it started getting better then. Been watching occasionally from season 30 on and there have been some actual funny episodes. Treehouse XXXIII in season 34 was brilliant with the anime-styled Death Note segment and Simpsonsworld.

Agreed. I hung in till like 17 despite it clearly going downhill but I just couldn't do it anymore. I'm really glad they turned it around though. Its been nice, like having an old friend back. My family used to watch it together every Sunday night. We didn't watch any other shows together religiously like we did the Simpsons.
 
more like 30, they had already fallen off by 04

They fell off from 2000 until about 2008. That's when they started to do really outlandish and crazy plots.

Around season 20 they went back to normal Simpsons plots and it's been improving steadily since. But you can really tell the cast is aging, Marge sounds more like her mom at this point.

Simpsons are good from season 1 to 7 and some chapters of 8.

Breaking news: Simpsons is getting a crossover with a game that already has Futurama, Family Guy and a dosen other Disney franchises. Same goes for Avatar or any other massive franchise that is bound to happen sooner or later.

The only good thing about The Simpsons nowadays are the memes.

Rarely do I see the "modern audience" Simpsons memes.
 
Fortnite is such a massive media thing that it even manages to make rumors about collaborations and brand deals the most consistently boring, uninteresting pieces of gaming news possible. Same thing applies to Call of Duty.

I'm really confused with Fornite. So you're going to have Homer, Bart etc running around with guns?
I know a lot of people were also waiting for a Kingdom Hearts / Sora reveal for fortnite, but like... what the hell? Why would you have these characters run around with riffles in a multiplayer mode? It just sounds like some cheap mods lol.
