I have the first 3 seasons of the Simpsons on DVD. At what season should I stop purchasing sets? I was told that season 8 was the last consistently good season. I haven't watched Simpsons since the late 1990's, but I checked out some recent episodes on Hulu and they were bad. What the hell happened? Did they run out of ideas, or was it a change in the philosophy of the writers. I don't remember them ever resorting to sight gags and slapstick for the sake of slapstick.

The writing team on the first few seasons were so subverse. It was like they were starving artists who were hungry to prove something.

So let's start a friendly debate...

^^ Dr. Zaius - Greatest Simpsons song of all time? I say yes.

I hate every ape I see from chimpan-A to chimpanzee...

yeah, you can't beat it.

Although I also like Krusty's Little Miss Springfield song for how stupid it is, "T is for her tooth filled mouth, T is for her tooth filled mouth"
 
HE CAN TALK HE CAN TALK HE CAN TALK - I CAN SIIIIING

Uh help me dr. zaius


(this is me agreeing)


but wait...
Well Mr. Burns had done it
The power plant had won it
With Roger Clemmons, Clucking all the while
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile
With Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile...

Watching that Conan roundtable with the Simpsons writers, I never realised this was a song written for The Simpsons, always thought it was just a regular song:
Tony Bennett - Capitol City

Helps that Bennett doesn't just phone it in and belts the fuck out of it.

So yeah, I think that's probably my favourite... if you count songs written for the show but not sung by the main characters.

We've done this a few times in the last thread.

Instead of doing what I normally do and spout off a list of episode names which some may deem arbitrary (although I have watched every episode - something few people in here would be willing to admit), here is a list of the top-rated episodes from Season 18 and onwards as per their IMDB user rating score:

THE ESSENTIAL EPISODES

Is there anyway you can do the exact same breakdown--IMDB scores included--for seasons 13-17? I'd be interested. I stopped watching around 11 or 12 and I'm looking at maybe buying later DVD sets depending on the ratio?

Ah, solid pick too, especially because it involves so many characters.

"You could close down Moe's or the Quick-E-Mart and nobody would care"

And my favorite line:

"Why Joseph I had no idea"
"Come on now, you were working here"

LOL.
 
Marge: Do you want your son to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or a sleazy male stripper?
Homer: Can't he be both, like the late Earl Warren?
Marge: Earl Warren wasn't a stripper!
Homer: Now who's being naïve?!

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; what great men he would join. John Marshall, Charles Evans Hughes, Warren Burger… mmm, burger.

Homer's knowledge of past Chief Justices was always hilarious to me.
 
Pretend that you're an executive at Fox's animation division and want to restore respectability to the Simpson's brand. What do you do? Fire the writers and bring in hungry, cutting edge writers to the table? Do away with the slapstick comedy, celebrity guest appearances? Adopt a new demographic targeting strategy? It seems more blatantly family friendly today than it was when it debuted in 1990.

Season 5 was playing in Fox8 on the weekend.

God damn 5-8 were just gold.

Grampa was a particularly underrated character. The bit with him unintentionally imitating Jimmy Durante and lawyer shows up is hilarious.
