I posted a video a while back that analyzes why that episode is the turning point for the Simpsons. The video says that it's not a bad episode in itself, but it's where the Simpsons turns the corner from the golden era to the decline.

I'm trying to remember what episode has a scene where Homer is trying to rock/sing Maggie to sleep late at night, starts getting sleepy himself, and when he looks down Maggie's eyes are still wide open. I may just be imagining that this exists, but maybe this thread can help me!

The lowest point was when they won a Grammy for best hardcore thrash metal album, Simpsons Christmas Boogie. They just went too far.

It's not even thrash metal. It's more like disco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAjXm7Oc5Xg

Last Chance posted:Terrible No. It's funny as gently caress to hear Ralph casually demand silence because his character is rightfully innocent and free of viciousness, but Milhouse's lameness transcends cause and effect to put him at the bottom in any relationship. Lame Milhouse jokes have never steered us wrong; Milhouse is gold. The later seasons hide lots of bits that pass as C-grade jokes from classic episodes. Is the first Arsonist Ralph joke before or after the kid with Ralph's voice from the Hank Scorpio episode? You know, I START FIRES! Eventually Ralph just became that character. I never liked that they made him into a full-on voice-hearing dangerous retard.

Season 9 is where the show took a steep nosedive. If you think it's anywhere else, you aren't remembering the seasons correctly. It just so happened that Principal and the Pauper was the second episode of season 9. And while season 9 was mostly still watchable, season 10 and 11 saw even further decline, and then anything 12 and beyond just kind of blends together as one giant, forgettable, bland mess with maybe 1-2 watchable episodes per season.

btw the adopted Patty and Selma child debuted in a season 15 episode, long after people stopped giving a poo poo about The Simpsons. Dana Gould came on a couple of seasons after it was irredeemable

This is half a pretty good analysis of the styles of the different showrunners and half a look into all the madness you probably missed if you checked out long ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgCZSBiBcsw

Ah yes, the classic character of Patty or Selma's adopted daughter. Who could forget all the laughs she's brought us over the years?

There's a thread in PYF about shows that didn't hold up over time. I expected it to be mostly about 90s sitcoms and how could anyone ever think they were good, but no within a page it turned into a topic about how the simpsons was anti-trans because of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrCle0tteu8

i was expecting that thread to deal with episode concepts that haven't aged well, but it's almost all about what's offensive now and wasn't back then. can't they just talk about how nobody sells beepers anymore and wonder what big bob in Hey Arnold is doing?

He probs sells cell phones. Miriam is of course still a total loving drunk, who can't work because then she just gets addicted to that instead. Helga cut contact with them years ago. Seriously though did you ever hear how there's was supposed to be a Daria like spinoff about that family? I woulda watched

It's really annoying that people who work on the show complain about losing two minutes of run time compared to older episodes but then they split every episode into an A-plot a B-plot plus an unrelated first act.

They gave Rick and Morty a 2-minute couch gag. Not that that was the wrong call, but all the stunt animation couch gags are real long and they've only been doing them more often and giving them more time lately.

PostNouveau posted:They gave Rick and Morty a 2-minute couch gag. I feel like at this point the Simpsons is basically doing 'hey you still watch this poo poo? Well you'll probably like this show better now'. With that crap. Basically the Simpsons is the cartoon equivalent of the old wrestler/warrior who passed the torch to a younger generation. Except then the wrestler/warrior continues to wrestle/war into oblivion
