The Simpsons are just like The Waltons; they're both praying for an end to the recession. I think I only saw that bit once as a kid but it really weirded me out seeing real people on The Simpsons in any capacity. The line went straight over my head

Season 9 was mostly good but had wobbly parts, and somewhere in season 10 was where it just got bad. Season 9 had some of the best episodes, but it also had some that were kind of showing where the show was ending up heading. Lisa finds out she has all of these extended family people she'll never meet again. They start doing more the cringey episodes where side characters meet love interests voiced by celebrity guests. More hard one-off episodes like where Homer joins the navy, kills (I think?) his commanding officer, and is just let go by one literal "haha politics" line. There was also the public sex storyline with Homer and Marge. And not all of even those episodes were bad, but you can kind of see a common thread with them and problems with later episodes. I think Season 10 has a handful of redeeming episodes, but yeah it's where things really declined.

atleast some of the seasons post 9 were funny, or had memorable scenes. the new ones are so bad I can't recall a funny moment. like Max Power, or the Mel Gibson one. It's Hell being Mel

porfiria posted:*Pushes glasses up nose* No poo poo, I started working out and losing weight two years ago after I watched the episode where Homer grows to 300lbs to try and get on disability... and he started from 240lbs, which was my exact weight at the time. It was a terrible feeling knowing I was the same height and weight as a character portrayed as the fattest, laziest american possible. I don't even want to think about how he's been married ten years, has a 3bdrm 2bath 2 story house with front and back yards, 2 cars, a garage, 3 kids and a cat and a dog.

You know what I think my favorite Homer Simpson line ever might be? "All right, I have thought this through. I will send Bart the money to fly home. Then I will murder him." Like, for just one brief moment there, he is a competent adult human being, capable of planning and problem solving. And then the deadpan twist—is like he's actually being intentionally funny for once. It's all so out-of-character it almost feels like it's from a parallel universe, but it also feels like this is what the Simpsons might be like when the cameras are off. I don't know, I've always loved that moment

I think Hank Hill was originally 35 years old too. The backstory is that the Simpsons were basically scraping by with their lifestyle, few savings, and the house was bought for them or something like that. Regardless, the closer I push to these characters in age the more I realize how much average life in America has fundamentally changed in the past 20+ years. I feel like Homer ought to be pushing 50. I have some friends with houses, cars, and babies, but I honestly can't fathom it because of how skewed the system is these days.

Bart didn't do anything to personally affect him but he also did something careless and dangerous so of course he's gonna get mad about it

Homer, Marge, and baby Bart were living in a trailer originally. Homer heard that the show man vs food was coming to town, and he made it this mission to out-eat the host to usurp him and get his dream job. They went to all the frying dutchman, moes, that sushi place, and the Italian place and ended up tied 2 for 2. The show made a special episode where the next winner would get a house. They went to Chicago and had the contest at an iron chef restaurant. The host won, but homer stayed there and kept eating literally all the food one ingredient at a time while the iron chef begged him to stop until he was finally bribed with buying the house to make him go away

Okay, I crunched the numbers. Now imagine that all episodes of The Simpsons that have aired so far, from the pilot to last night's episode, is the song "Bohemian Rhapsody". Saddlesore Galactica happens in the moment of the song when he sings the word "truth".

Good! I'm sick of your boring space launches! SHUT UP! And another thing, how come I can't get no Tang around here?" followed by "Is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some tang it'd be you...SHUT UP!"

The NASA episode has some of the best gags of that season for certain. "Second comes right after first!" "...Homer, you already dialed the phone."
