One of the things that makes the whole dinner-party scene of that episode so brilliant is just how real and believable it is in depicting the final death throes of a failed marriage. The thing they cut is trying too hard to be "wacky" and it would have ruined it. It still would've been better than anything the show's done recently, but yeah, it was not up to the standards of golden age Simpsons.

It's an ending. That's enough.

Yeah, that whole thing seems pretty distracting from the otherwise believable relationship breakdown. The point of the episode isn't about why their marriage falls apart, but the how and the effects it has on the people around it. Besides, they do enough to establish Kirk is a jerk who's taking her entirely for granted, which also makes Homer self-conscious because he sees a lot of the same behaviour in himself.

I'm assuming this has been done like 16 times before, but whatever, here's my version:

Agreed, it is fun to read a script from the golden age but it changes Kirk from a sad sack who doesn't know how to manage a cracker factory into an arsonist. Plus if the cracker factory had burned down, we wouldn't have gotten the "I don't recall saying good luck" scene. hahahahaha ah yeah

Honestly, the Simpsons probably coulda used more young adult characters rather than have Bart and Lisa basically act like teenagers, though that probably wouldn't have helped much, and I think they got all that out of the way with Futurama anyway.

I think that's why Golden Age Simpsons stuff has a halo of wholesomeness, because it never really had to deal with uglier puberty/young adult topics until it ran out of other plots to do. Bart and Lisa could go on teen adventures but could fall back on being innocent children (e.g: never worry about the horrors of dudes hitting on teen Lisa or teen Bart trying to get laid), while Marge and Homer could deal with being middle-aged and only have to visit young adult stuff for flashbacks. Mission Hill was ok but being real a lot of it has aged really poorly and it's super-obvious why it didn't last-- it's remarkably sappy and toothless for a show about young adults.

E: ^^^^^^ aren't Homer and Marge supposed to be late 30s? If the show updated Otto like they retcon Homer, he would have gone from an 80s buttrock guy to a nu,-metal guy to a ...dubstep guy? Maybe full circle back to classic rock guy idk

Uh-huh, that's why it found a second life on Adult Swim when it was airing alongside Futurama and Family Gu--oh wait that's right. It didn't. Because it was sappy and toothless crap. It wasn't a good show. The episode with the gay couple and the Ed Wood homage was cute and there were the hints of a better show that could grow out of what was there, but it wasn't gonna happen.

'sappy and toothless first season means it would've always been bad if it kept going' is a bold stance to take in a simpsons thread
