The original run of Family Guy was funny (well, I remember it being funny) but it never should've been revived.

"Homer Badman" is one of the most beloved golden-era Simpsons episodes and that makes light of rape victims the 90s TV was problematic all-around

[quote="finalellipsis" post=""485712752”"] the lowest point of The Simpsons is/was Family Guy [/quote] That crossover episode is one of the worst things I have ever seen on television. It was absolutely terrible. Hank Scorpio loving owns, though. I can’t believe anyone would say otherwise. You Only Move Twice is arguably the best episode the Simpsons ever did.

Matt Groening hated the The Critic crossover so much he took his name off the credits I guess he liked the Family Guy crossover or he was too busy counting his money to care

I feel like they took some care to not portray Homer’s accuser as a crazy over the top feminist in that episode. She’s never really the butt of the joke. It’s not perfect but it probably beats just about every other sitcom episode of that era that’s about someone being “wrongly” accused of sexual harassment.

Having the media turn on Moe for his voyeurism the second after his tape saves Homer was a good move in that regard.

Anyone who owns a car should know how to change a tire, and if you can change a tire you can rotate them in under an hour.

The last time I watched New Family Guy, it was an episode that involved time travel and the token Jewish character. I think it had a lot of nazi references and not a single actual joke.

I voted other. My choice is "Homer getting raped by a panda". Quite possibly this is biased by the fact that I stopped watching around about that time so in my mind there was no room for it to get worse.

I listened to an interview with Mike Reiss, who's been a writer since the beginning, and I noticed a small change in the early-days lore. The story used to be that the script that had Apu's first appearance said "the clerk is not Indian" because it was already a hack joke by 1989, and then Hank Azaria did an Indian accent to make fun of that note, and that got a big laugh and there you have it. Now they're saying Sam Simon whispered in the table read to Hank Azaria to do an accent. So they're basically blaming it on the dead guy now.

It was the Halloween Episode with the Homerclones and in the sea of degenerate Homers, they included a Peter Griffin. I thought it was such a petty move that I just stopped watching altogether.

https://www.avclub.com/the-simpsons-vacation-episodes-ranked-1826806649 I haven’t seen most of the episodes at the bottom of the rankings. It’s fun to read about them though. Apparently, since I stopped watching, they’ve done an episode where they go back to France and Bart meets the dodgy wine guys and there was an episode where they went to Denmark to get healthcare for grandpa. Wow, what a shame I didn’t catch those ones.

Prurient Squid posted:I voted other. My choice is "Homer getting raped by a panda". Quite possibly this is biased by the fact that I stopped watching around about that time so in my mind there was no room for it to get worse. I think there was a decent satire about dumb 'prank culture' buried in that episode somewhere (like assaulting Lenny with pudding), and how horrible it is to degrade yourself for money and how horrible people are for taking advantage of desperate people, but it missed the mark by a wide loving margin. It was probably a reaction to the media hysteria about Jackass (the moral panic of that era, because a handful of morons tried to recreate stuff they'd seen on TV), a bit like the episode where people pay Kenny to eat his own puke and dogshit, then suck off Howard Stern. PostNouveau posted:Yeah, Hank Scorpio is a supervillain, but his "superpower" that lets him take over is being a great boss who treats his employees well. And here we are, over 20 years after that episode aired, and even the most basic employee benefits are considered literally communism by the government, the media, and the swarms of turkeys that are huge fans of Thanksgiving/Christmas.

The last time I saw an episode with Sideshow Bob he literally has mutant super powers. No it wasn't a Halloween episode, and neither was the one where the Simpsons get kidnapped by Krang and Kodos.
