People who say they are Simpsons fans but actually hate 40-80% of their "favorite show" and are constantly spouting off about the fact are garbage, and it shouldn't be socially acceptable. If I was constantly talking about how I loved burgers but really what I love is just eating a single bite of the bun and then throwing the rest out somebody would call me out on it eventually but nope none of that for "Simpsons fans".

There was so very very very much wacky stuff, weird writing, lazyness, cutaways, pointless celebrity appearances, and "Family Guy bullshit" in the early seasons. You have nostalgia for it because you were younger back then.

Dogmeat posted:have you not clicked on any of the links in this thread? also talking about the simpsons isn't socially acceptable thats why were doing it here I voted for the Gaga episode, which I've seen. The only clip I haven't seen is the tik tok riff because I can't bring myself to.

If you stopped watching at season 13, you've missed over half of the show.

Better way to underscore the enormity of the show: there have been 356 Simpsons episodes since Homer got raped by a panda.

True, but that just goes along with the idea that you should never bring a cancelled show back. Ever.

That 90's episode marked the point of divergence between the me who had doggedly stayed with the show from my childhood through the poo poo years and the new person who didn't care any more. The man I was before I saw that was dead, and I greeted the new future with fear and trepidation.

I will still argue up and down with people about their rosy memories of the first bunch of seasons. There were plenty of: 1. "Family Guy-esque cutaways" even though Family Guy didn't exist yet 2. Pointless celebrity cameos 3. Bad writing wackyness All the very specific criticisms people constantly level at the later seasons are there in the early seasons. You are glossing over them because of nostalgia. However, the early seasons could get by with lazy writing and lazy animation BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTUALLY FUNNY.

Scudworth posted:Okay so you also agree that the first bunch of seasons were better so your point is what now? My point is that the very specific criticisms leveled against the later seasons, too many cutaways, too many celebrity guests, bad writing, bad animation, thin stories, that sort of critical eye is not applied to the early seasons because any criticisms of those episodes are papered over by nostalgia. However, the early seasons are actually funny, nostalgia or no, and that excuses everything.

I liked the random people who were in early season crowd scenes. Not every group of Springfielders had to be Professor Frink, Bumblebee Man, and Sideshow Mel. There were actually unnamed random people around. Also they gave Reverend Lovejoy's denomination of Christianity a name and I loving hate it.

Episode was good, for new Simpsons. You can't compare a burger from a nice restaurant and a burger from Wendy's. As far as Wendy's burgers go, Sunday's was a tasty one.

Bill Murray backed right out of being in Krusty Gets Kancelled, and they had all these lines written for him and a storyline and everything. Source: a podcast.

JediTalentAgent posted:Drawn Together to me was just that 'other original animated show on CC that wasn't South Park' It's a premise that tried too hard to be mature and edgy and it sort of became one note. But I find a lot of stuff like this is sort of the same when people try parody and satire. How do you make a funny satire/parody of pop culture archtypes? Essentially, the answer is everyone is a sex addict, a horrible person, a stereotype or just idiots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZA1LvnMbY0 Teriyaki Hairpiece fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Feb 26, 2017 |

Any episode where they try to incorporate present day stuff is hated by fans, any episode where they reboot the series would be hated by fans x1000. Look at the poo poo around the new title sequence.

Iron Crowned posted:I posted a video a while back that analyzes why that episode is the turning point for the Simpsons. The video says that it's not a bad episode in itself, but it's where the Simpsons turns the corner from the golden era to the decline. The episode those people were thinking of was the Stonecutter's episode.
