The third time, actually, if you count the episode where they go to Canada to get Abe cheaper prescription drugs.

Sagebrush posted:there was an ok joke about it in an otherwise absolutely horrible episode where sideshow bob has been living in italy for years and has had a child who is older than maggie (??) and the simpsons all go to italy and the inevitable exact same sideshow bob plot happens for the 20th time. The funniest thing about this is that American Dad has had more good seasons than the Simpsons.

What I never got about Seth was that any time I see him come up in articles, it was always that he's still working on that Flintstones reboot. Although I think I saw another one a few years back saying he gave up because he can't make it work if he has to modernize them and the jokes or something. But who even wants that reboot? Even as a kid in the late 80's, every time Flintstones came on it just made me wish they'd show the Jetsons instead. That show was so god drat boring to sit through.

I think he gave up on that now that he has The Orville. It would have been terrible. The only good Flintstones related thing is that amazing new comic series.

Uh... what would be the point of a Flintstones reboot if you didn't modernize the jokes? The whole gag is "it's now but also caveman times."

There's an animation mistake where the lasagna is on top of the green desk mat as Wiggum crawls over it, then beside the desk mat when the viewing angle changes.

I liked how the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover was about how both shows could exist together even though they had the same type of humour because it would allow their respective teams working on the shows to have a living and income. Then I realized the voice actors get roughly 300K per episode and lol

Dan Castellaneta makes more in a year than some countries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cisBEGCFSjQ I gotta admit to getting mind blown here because ive never seen Dan before today despite having watched S1-10 literally 50 times and Id have never put together Homer, Barney, Krusty, Grandpa, but then also how many characters CONTAINS THE ORIGIN OF "annoyed grunt!"

I haven't seen Family Guy in years. It's more mean spirited than The Simpsons ever was, but it was willing to be more experimental than Modern Simpsons. The most experimental Modern Simpsons seems to want to go is viral couch gags by notable animators. And even those cut time away from the episode.

I've taken to watching entire runs of TV shows of late. Like, 2, 3 episodes a night after work as I eat tea and do some chores before my 2nd job. I did South Park and then American Dad and when you watch them all one after another it becomes really obvious when they start slipping. Even if at the time they didn't seem that bad, what with waiting weeks between shows and then a year between seasons. Point being I'll probably do the Simpsons next.

I’ve tried twice, but it becomes soul-crushingly monotonous by around season 15. The golden age flies by, but then the number of laughs dwindles until you realize you haven’t laughed at all in like 40 episodes, and they’re revisiting plots they’ve already done like 3 or 4 times, and everyone sounds tired and the writing is so lazy. Then you realize that you’re not even half way through the entire run yet and this poo poo is going to go on for another 300+ episodes. Then you go watch something else.

I remember this point where Fox would advertise part of an episode that ended up being totally unrelated overall to the plot. Like one time they advertised an episode where Homer had to deal with a wild animal in the back yard and I assumed it was a new one, but it was actually a repeat and I didn't remember the episode because the part with the wild animal was just the first five minutes before the actual plotline. I wish I could remember the animal and episode, I think it was a wolverine or something.

They did this a lot around the time Futurama's 4th season was getting the shaft from Fox. They'd advertise a "bonus" episode of the Simpsons instead of Futurama (which was scheduled in TV Guide), and it was literally episodes of the Simpsons that aired 2 weeks earlier.

Wasn't it a badger in the dog house and it ended up being an episode where Homer becomes an artist because some critic is amazed at how rage based designs? It all blurrs together with family Guy episodes now

Almost all of the plots are lazy recycles of earlier story beats as well. Like, Homer has a dumb idea to sell grease just like when he had an idea to sell sugar and Lisa has to deal with a new classmate voiced by a celebrity (both of these rehashed plots are in the same ep btw).

one that is super blatant is when homer was trying to eat chips and santas little helper's puppies kept jumping and grabbing the chips before he could, and a family guy episode that came after it when Peter was doing literally the exact same thing except a bird in his beard was eating them

Or when Death is taken out, and Homer/Peter has to do his job. Oh wait, that's done already by Terry Pratchett. Oh snap, he wasn't the first!

They did those little miniepisodes that lead to the real A and B plots a lot. It was usually a fairly short but complete story. I've forgotten sometimes that episodes I remember are actually just a five minute thing at the beginning of another episode all together.
