A blog from noteworthy NoHomers.net poster, Cash Kerouac was posted today featuring a thoughtful analysis of the high points and flaws of one of the more noteworthy episodes from Season 13, Little Girl in the Big Ten.
It delves into how this episode provides commentary on the 13 seasons that preceded it and the potentially 13 seasons that will follow it by incorporating distinct elements from each era in the show's long history.
I believe this will be the first in a series of critiques on modern era Simpsons under the title The Simpsons and the Division of Al Jean. It's a compelling read and will only eat up a few minutes of your time.

I've never understood this point of view but I've heard it a million times. She isn't the main focus of the comedy on the show but is important for setting a lot of the storylines that allow for funny moments to happen.
Think of the hilarious episode where she turns vegetarian. That just wouldn't exist without at least one character like Lisa.
I imagine this question has been mooted before but just for me...
Imagine seasons 1-9 if they happened now in exactly the same ultra crisp defined HD style. Same scripts. What would you think?
I'm currently watching the old one where Marge hosts a dinner party and the Van Houtens decide to get divorced. I've no idea why but that thought struck me - I really believe more than half the charm is the actual 'drawing' of the old episodes. The warmth.

The early Homer and Lisa episodes are the best ones.
Lisa the Vegetarian, Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington, Lisa the Iconoclast, Lisa's Pony, Lisa the Greek, Lisa the Beauty Queen, etc.

Homer and Lisa play off each other very well (you even forgot Lisa's Substitute).
They arguably have the richest character dynamic in the entire series.
This shines through even in episodes where they're not the focus due to Dan and Yeardley's chemistry. Here are two prominent examples that come to mind...
Fear of Flying (S6E11 - 2F08)
Homer: [sarcastically] All right, Lisa, you got your way. Your Mom's going to a psychiatrist. She's going to tell Marge to leave me. It'll break up the family and you'll have to live with your grandmother and pick beans.
Lisa: Dad, I like picking beans with Gramma.
Homer: Well, keep it up, then.
Lisa: [sarcastically] OK, I will.
Homer: Good. You do that.
Lisa: Fine.
Homer: You'll be picking many a bean.
Lisa: Hope I do.
Treehouse of Horror VIII (S9E4 - 5F02)
Homer: Relax! I built a bomb shelter.
Lisa: That's not gonna protect us from anything!
Homer: Fine, then dont use it.
Lisa: I won't.
Homer: Good.
Lisa: I know it's good.
Homer: So do I.
Lisa: I'm happy for you.
Homer: You should be!
One reason why I have such distaste for Season 14's The Dad Who Knew Too Little (which was generally well-received) is because it treats Homer as clueless about Lisa's motivations, hobbies and interests - effectively retconning all character growth prior to pre-Lisa's Substitute - and while it has some genuinely amusing gags, I find the fact that he hired a crooked private detective to stalk his daughter downright disturbing.

If it were a classic episode, all of the bricks would be on that wall.

J. Stewart Burns is an extremely solid writer. This one holds up to repeated viewings quite well, too.
I particularly like the Homer-Marge interplay at their Waverly Hills crash pad. It's fun seeing them roleplay as a young couple on the dating scene again.

It basically looks Family Guy, American Dad and Clevland Show.

Notice how the 100th comment about how clean and sterile modern-era Simpsons promo art and screen captures look stays just as fresh as the previous 99.
Hey, it looks like those Seth MacFarlane shows.
Hey, Marge's expression doesn't change when Maggie gets placed in her cart in the opening sequence.
Hey, remember how ugly those older episodes were. That means they were better and felt more real.
Why don't they use cels any more (even though the Simpsons was like the LAST series on the planet to give up using animation cels)?
There are countless reasons to criticize the show today. Plenty of reasons with substance and validity. But this tired old argument simply has no teeth to it.
Unfortunately, she didn't really have a realized personality beyond that.
I didn't much care for Homer of Seville but Julia was effectively Homer's Jessica Lovejoy equivalent. She was downright evil.

Mindy was essentially Homer's dream girl. Probably his dream guy, too. If he ever wanted to romance a female attractive version of himself, she's the perfect candidate.

Yeah, that's what impressed me the most about the episode. That subplot came out of nowhere and it actually worked. Plus, it wasn't one of thos lame marriage crisis plots they kept using over and over in the recent years. Mighty fine ep.

Yeah. Sometimes reading this thread makes me like the modern Simpsons more, not less.
(Who am I kidding. I hate the modern version, but I also hated the art of the first few seasons.)
So I've never really seen much of golden era Simpsons and I'm now going through the show from the start for the first time (currently about halfway through season 4). Not that anyone in here needs me to tell them this, but goddamn this is one of the greatest comedies of all time. I'm shamelessly addicted to the show right now and dreading the time when the show's quality drops (season 8? 9?).
Just wanted to pop in and show my love, you can now get back to your regularly scheduled screencap posting.

Congrats! I wish I could watch golden era Simpsons again for the first time (instead of the 50th). You're in for a great ride.
Feel free to drop in and share your impressions as you experience episodes like Cape Feare and Last Exit to Springfield.

The most harmful thing was the loss of Phil Hartman and digital animation. The characters look pitiful now.

Did you never notice the title from the old Simpsons thread?
ITT: We post screens that showcase the visual charisma lost by modern Simpsons
It's a well agreed upon fact that the art style of Modern Simpsons is a large reason it pales in comparison to Classic Simpsons.

Obviously I'm not glad that he died but I dunno if I'd want to see Phil still doing Troy McClure nowadays. :/
I'm a fan of this exchange in Burns' Heir.
Bart: I want to stay here with Mr. Burns.
Mr. Burns: I suggest you leave immediately.
Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead—do your worst!
Mr. Burns: Release the robotic Richard Simmons.

I actually have pretty fond feelings for this episode, even though it's from a season of the Simpsons way past its prime. I just really like Lugash.

What's awful is they've got an episode next month based around a storyline that would have been an opportune time to bring back Lugash... but because they couldn't have a "special guest star" voice him they altered his character design slightly, cast Bill Hader in the role and called him Slava instead.
(insert obligatory comment about how vacant Marge's expression looks; man, is that HD animation awful)
There are three insulting things about this episode - none of which having anything to do with Marge's expression in a token screenshot.
Those things are: A) Not using Lugash so they can use a different foreigner with a celebrity guest voice.
B) Recycling the Bart falls in love story angle yet again with a girl who should have no interest in him whatsoever.
He's 10. He should still think girls have cooties. He should not pine over every girl that dotes on him.
Oh... and I haven't even mentioned the best part yet... C) Justin Bieber is also in this ep.
