Data Graham posted:Even toward the end of the "golden age" as a teenager I was noticing how the whole first act was often a completely throwaway setup story that had no bearing on the actual plot. Is this not the model of a golden era Simpsons episode? Whatever happened at the opening was always an unrelated setup story. The Tomacco episode being a model. When they introduced an actual continuity and the show stopped being potentially the same day repeated over and over is when I lost interest. Because I always thought those were two of the most brilliant aspects of the show - the intro storyline had no relationship to the main plot, and no episode had any bearing on any other episode. Nowadays people talk about the Skinner episode being the death knell for the show, but they literally make a joke at the end about how it will never be mentioned again. I think the episode where Homer smokes weed with Flanders’ parents and Flanders hits him so Homer acts like a giant dickhole about it until Flanders feels guilty is the point where I actively started hating Zombie Simpsons. Before then, it was the Lady Gaga (at that point I LIKED lady Gaga) episode that made me feel most ill inside.

The Tomacco episode is not golden age Simpsons. It's from season 11. I don't care if people include season 9 in the good seasons, even though they're wrong, but season 11 is without a doubt already poo poo territory.

nb. steamed hams is from a decidedly "non-canon" or at least "unorthodox" type episode, one that does not follow the typical formula of Simpsons stories even during the era in which it appeared and which was designed to be as much of a goofy stunt episode as any of the Treehouses of Horror

season 9 was still funny, but it was definitely a change in tone. homer buying snake's car and destroying the murder home was really cartoony and wacky, and it just wasn't quite right. like yeah episodes in season 10 you could still laugh at, season 11. . .but you definitely noticed something wasn't right. it lost it's Charm.

JazzFlight posted:I used to think that Season 10 was the last acceptable season, but I remembered wrong. It's actually Season 9. I read up on the episode descriptions for 10 on Wikipedia and essentially grunted "ugh" at each one. They were just plain bad. There are a couple I’ll rewatch when repeated, but there are definitely some cringeworthy episodes in that season. Kim Bassinger, the olympics and the Stephen Hawking ones are particularly bad.

I think that whenever I complete my collection it'll end at season 11 because all good shows need a couple of bad seasons and "Behind the Laughter" is a good end.

They were just plain bad. if it's season 3-9, i'll watch any of them unless i just watched it. but lets see.. season 10 is markedly different the wizard of evergreen terrace- i remember when this came out, and i thought it was funny. but i was also a lot younger. LE GRILL, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT is still funny but the episode itself is ehhh bart the mother- this one wasn't that bad, and had more of a classic simpsons feel. it had that bart feels ashamed feeling like when he stole from the store and marge was disappointed in him. dish upon a star-mehhhhhhhhh, the trend of lovely guest stars for no reason the rest aren't even worth mentioning, except the japanese one. gently caress, even some episodes in season 9 were getting weak

Certainly 9 was the last season that had wall-to-wall A-grade episodes and there are some stinkers in 10-13 with increasing frequency, but there's still plenty of stuff that still gets a good laugh from me in those years.

I remember one day being at one such friend's house and a fuckin' commercial for the show came on and his mom started yelling from across the house until we explained "no it's just a commercial"

the simpsons was pretty controversial back in the day; politicians didn't have much to do in the 80s/90s so they got really concerned about rap and tv and then eventually vidya games. imagine if mike pence called out bojack horseman in a speech (dan quayle did this re: murphy brown and it was nationally hilarious) i was in elementary school when the simpsons first started airing, and my school had a ban on bart simpson t shirts, which were pretty popular at the time. and yeah, some of my friends' parents didn't let us watch it or talk about it ("they make too many bathroom jokes!") but my parents were rad. they even got me a bart shirt  now 30 years later here i am doing posts with you fine folks the milk machine fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Feb 22, 2018 |
