I mean wtf? Does anyone enjoy this? ANYONE?
Pile of wank, but it fills a couple of minutes per episode I guess.

LOL. I had to google it, but it looks like I stopped watching in season 8 started in the 90s. That season with Poochie was dreadful. Something must had happened with the writers that time because it seemed to change a lot. To me thats when the show got unfunny and lots of people agreed as ratings tanked. But then 3-4 years later the ratings went back to normal so maybe the show improved and I missed out.

Ratings last few years are awful. But probably still worth doing the show.

I used to be a huge simpsons fan. It's actually mindblowing that it's been on the air the last 15 years or so and the most attention it got was when that guy made a documentary trying to cancel apu.
 
The Simpsons is one of my all-time favourite shows. Yet I have not seen the majority of the episodes of it and never will.
 
What impresses me the most is not how the hell they continue with that crap, but how they manage to make Lisa 50x times worse than she already was.
 
It's become a meme now to hate on modern Simpsons but considering how delicate the key demo has gotten I can imagine writers being scared shitless to make any jokes that could offended them. So you get unfunny musicals and Trump bad.

Dude the Simpsons died after season 9. 8 and a half if you are purist. Let it go.
You missed some really good episodes.

This is how everyone giving their sophisticated opinions on post-90s Simpsons looks to me:

If it requires me to acknowledge Season 12 where Homer had a certain encounter with a panda:

Seasons 1-10 with the movie as the "finale" is my head canon.

Wth o.o thank god i only watched when i was young then got bored with it. Looks like it took a big nose dive.
 
It's nowhere near as good as it was during it's classic years, but it does have its moments.

The Mr Burns and Homer Vs ultra left SJW's at college was funny, especially with the added "real" quote from a Yale student.

That's basically what happened to any BBC comedy show, they are scared to tackle certain subjects for fear of Twitter controversy so all the 'jokes' are about Brexit/Boris.

As for The Simpsons, only funny moment from the past ten years was that movie piracy gif

People still watch The Simpsons?
There are those people who were watching the show before it's deep decline and tune in because they feel as though they have to. They've been doing it for so long and maybe when The Simpson's ends, they'll be the people who went along the entire way.
 
My guess is because Bob's Burgers has a lot of singing and maybe they're trying to copy that a bit because they're probably lazy at this point.

Yeah and it's by far the worst aspect of Bob's Burgers, which is already a fairly mediocre show.

And it is shocking how long the Simpsons has been going. I haven't watched an episode in probably like 20 years.
 
The Simpsons is one of my all-time favourite shows. Yet I have not seen the majority of the episodes of it and never will.
It sits right up there with Seinfeld as my fav comedy program of all time yet, like yourself, I have watched less episodes than are released! Those first 9-10 seasons are amongst the best comedy ever produced. It fell HARD after that and hasn't ever come close to recovering.
 
My suggestion would be to not set yourself up for disappoint and try not to invest time into media which has reached its expiration date.

I understand there are those stern Simpsons fans who have been watching since the beginning. However, as many have suggested above -- the Simpsons really reached it's pinnacle by Season 6 and only remained watchable until about season 8 or 9. As someone also mentioned, singing in earlier Simpsons episodes. Off the top of my head I can name 8 episodes which had musical numbers and those were hilarious (Monorail, the Garbage Man Can, Do the Bartman (which was a separate project altogether), and the Sherrie Boppins episode); but it wasn't a regular thing.

The way I choose to continue to respect the impact the Simpsons had on televisual history is to measure it by the success of it's early writers, challenging ideas, early adaptability and lack of consideration toward censorship (initially). Singing is not the worst thing that happened to the newest Simpsons. Sometimes it helps to shut a program off for about a year and then go back and watch an early episode - followed by a recent episode. Then, you'll get the picture of what the majority of the comments have been pinpointing.

The only reason the Simpsons continues to air is to give Groening royalties (and the new parent company...Disney) and support whatever lifestyle he lives now. His last great production was Futurama which was considerably better ever from it's inception than seasons 9 + of the Simpsons.
 
I honestly am only giving 9 and beyond a shot because it's on Disney Plus and it's interesting to see the decline in writing quality increase as the animation quality and budget increases. I still haven't finished it after main lining Seasons 1-9.
 
Goofy musical numbers are low hanging fruit for the target demographic of politically correct upper middle class busy people who turn on the TV to eat their vegan burgers before hitting Planet Fitness. For that matter, adult cartoons are kind of the same deal.

Any medium you partake in has lowest common denominator chaff in ABUNDANCE as a way to try to pull in as many people as they can. You *always* have to dig to find things that are worth your time. Gaming, movies, television, manga and comics, everything.
 
Who asked for new simpsons past season 10? Show is terrible now but I can live the classic era time and time again by playing my simpsons pinball party pinball machine. Ah The good ol days
