When had that first floor bathroom ever shown up? Also the basement stairs always move around. Sometimes they're in the foyer, other times they're next to the kitchen.
idk if we ever actually saw it but wasn't it Lionel Hutz's escape route in the treehouse of horror where Homer sells his soul?

Didn't grandpa pay the deposit by selling the house he built won on a crooked '50s game show?

And then they shipped him off to the old folks home three weeks later.

The whole Simpsons concept makes sense only considering Homer and Marge are meant to be boomers.

That said, Homer's treatment of Abe is put into more context considering almost every single flashback to his childhood is pretty much nonstop emotional abuse. Marge's childhood doesn't seem to be much better, given bullying from her sisters and her mother instilling strict gender roles that Moaning Lisa shows she realises are actively harmful.

It’s a little hard to tell. Could be, but then the tree’s poorly drawn.

It's fun to know the Hullapalooza episode is closer to Homer's remembered glory days than it is to today.

The Simpsons really does work great as a time capsule. You could go back and watch one episode from each season and I think it would give you a really great look at how culture and society has changed

Everything turning to irredeemable poo poo around 2001 does kinda make sense I guess.

Wow it kinda does put things into perspective.

Also one of the last good episodes in season would be the joy of sect.

Though there were some real stinkers, with Jerkass Homer really starting to develop, even the bad ones still had some good old school jokes. It's why I say season 9 is the last good season, it's still has some decent laughs.

10+ is garbage.

I say to stop at The Principal and the Pauper not because it's the last good episode or the first bad one or anything like that

The episode ends with every character in Springfield acknowledging that things are different now but fearfully agreeing to act like nothing has changed

That's poetry

The only way the Simpsons can redeem itself would be the last episode having Homer waking up from a Coma after falling down Springfield gorge. He has to deal with life moving on without him and the changes and struggles of modern society.

Nah, that would suck.

Instead: we cut to 3D Homer, who's been working at the Erotic Cakes store for 20 years. It's downtown LA. Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas walk in complaining about their prostate medication - The Simpsons is now part of The Kominsky Method universe

I've always thought that the last season should take place over like eighty years. For the first few episodes the kids age a year or two each, so we see them go to middle school, high school, lisa goes to college (for like the fifth time), they get married, and so on. Then we go five years per episode and all the main characters start dying off. Grandpa dies, then Homer when his bypass fails, then some other characters, Marge hangs on long enough to see Bart and Lisa have kids, etc. Eventually all the adult characters are dead and the children are now elderly. The last episode ends with the last of the children dying, leaving behind not a single character from the original series (except, like, Moleman or something) and then as a final sendoff the plant melts down and blows Springfield into a barren radioactive crater.

Like Raul Julia, even as it was dying it produced amazing work in the midst of disaster that came from a love of the craft, refined over many years of experience. It was surrounded by stuntmen pretending to be actors, flash-in-the-pan youngsters too keen to stand out and ever more merchandising deals and product placement.

Then someone was on too much cocaine to only pretend to punch it in the cancer-surgery-stitches and everything fell apart.

The evidence is clear, it's lesser but still good on seasons 9-12 then really declines 13 and on:

and yet Homer the Smithers is the highest-rated of all time? Must be a mistake since You Only Move Twice is unquestionably the high point of the series.
