Happy The Simpsons

Sorry if this thread has been started before, but who here likes the Simpsons? If you do, then this is the place to talk about it.

It's become a coperate vehicle - changed from a family show, to become a poisonous corrupt television programme.

The new series is horrific. If I were a 10 year old I'd be shitting myself.

I love The Simpsons, but I've only watched the older episodes that I got on Netflix.

Well I don't think I have seen any of these 'new' episodes. But I've always liked The Simpsons for the sheer dry humour in it. Gotta love the simplicity.

The new episodes are quite good, but my favourite all time Simpsons episode would be "Seymor Skinners Badass Song." For all you people who don't know the names of episodes, it is the 100th episode and also the one were Skinner gets temporarily fired.

The last few seasons have been terrible in my opinion and this shouldn't shock anybody as I've been bagging on the Simpsons for about 4 years now. I think its really unwatchable. Its painful, its like watching a formerly great athlete refuse to hang it up, you know? The Simpsons is the Johnny Unitas of television.

The two moments in the Moulder and Scully episode involving the whale, with THAT noise it makes, for some reason absolutely cracks me up.

I'm laughing thinking about it. Heh.

Heh. I can remember being on a camp where we showed that episode to the kids one rainy day and I recited the dialogue from the entire episode with the characters. The kids were mightily impressed.

-His jiggling, it's so hypnotic.
-Yes, it's like a lava lamp...

I grew up around The Simpsons, and I still love to watch it when it's on.

I remember when people were saying series 4 was terrible complared to the earlier ones, and now they are seen as magnifacant now, and the new episodes are the ones that suck. Ultimately the show will always appear to be not-quite-as-good-as-it-was-before, even though it probably is about the same.

Did anyone catch the one written by Ricky Gervais?

Season 10 was the last one I fully enjoyed. After that, all of them have been sub-par to me. I remember the exact episode where I thought "What the hell has happened to this show?" it was the one in Season 11 with the horse racing jockeys. Terrible.
I absolutely love all the first 10 seasons though. I can watch them over and over and always find them funny.

I'm looking forward to seeying Ricky Gervais' episode when it airs here. He's always brilliant.

Holy crap. I had forgotten exactly when I had given up on the Simpsons. It was right after that episode. No joke, I remember it now. Thank you.

And that was years ago. Shows should really... just... stop after 10 seasons. Or three or four (?) in Family Guy's case.

The Simpsons will only stop when a movie has been made.

lol I was watching it the other day, there's some small moments where it just cracks you up. Like Principal skinner putting on a play for Mr. Burns to make him lend money to the school. One of the skits in it was...

Ralph: I'm Dr. Stupid, I'm here to perform surgery, but since my school closed down I don't know how. Oops! I just cut off Mr. Burns Head!

Mr Burns: I never liked that Doctor Stupid!
