When did the show start crediting twenty-five or more people at the beginning of each episode? I feel like that was a big sign that the good times were never coming back

"Homer, why do you keep saying you think Bart misses his old glasses? He doesn't even wear glasses."

"Aw, c'mon Marge, you know I'm an idiot and an inattentive father! As a result I'm comically ignorant of basic details about our son."

I feel like there's a version of this that could have worked in the 90's but I have no idea how it could be better executed now

I like how there is no such thing as an excessively deep cut from season 4 for the meme thread, but when someone posts an episode recap from season 29 it's met with confusion about if it's real or not. I mean, c'mon:

It's incredibly real and halfway through the episode

Simpsons should be the first fully AI production. The scripts, the voices, the animation... just let AI take over and thy will be done.

ChatGPT has a few ideas

Write an episode of The Simpsons where Homer tries to write an episode of The Simpsons posted:

Homer Simpson sat at his desk, staring at the blank piece of paper in front of him. He had always dreamed of writing an episode of The Simpsons, but he had never actually tried it before.

"Come on, Homer," he muttered to himself. "You can do this. Just think of a funny idea and run with it."

He picked up his pen and began to brainstorm. After a few minutes, he had a rough outline:

Act 1: Homer gets a wild hair to write an episode of The Simpsons.

Act 2: Homer starts writing, but quickly gets stuck and frustrated.

Act 3: Marge and the kids try to help Homer with his writing, but their suggestions only make things worse.

Act 4: Homer has a breakthrough and comes up with a brilliant idea for the episode.

Act 5: Homer's script is a huge success and he becomes the pride of Springfield.

Homer grinned to himself, feeling confident in his idea. He began to write the script, typing away furiously on his computer.

As he wrote, he started to get more and more into the story. He laughed out loud at his own jokes and was having a great time.

But as the hours ticked by, Homer began to hit a wall. He stared at the screen, trying to come up with the next line, but nothing was coming to him.

"I can't do this," he moaned, throwing his hands up in frustration. "I'm just not cut out to be a writer."

Just then, Marge and the kids walked into the room. "What's going on, Homer?" Marge asked.

"I'm trying to write an episode of The Simpsons, but I'm just not good enough," Homer replied dejectedly.

"Oh, come on now, Homer," Marge said. "You can do this. Let us help you."

The kids nodded in agreement, and together, they sat down to brainstorm ideas for the script. They threw out all sorts of wild ideas, but nothing seemed to click.

Just when they were about to give up, Bart had a brilliant idea. "What if Homer accidentally becomes a superhero and saves Springfield from a giant monster?" he suggested.

Homer's eyes lit up. "That's it!" he exclaimed. "I can work with that."

With renewed enthusiasm, Homer sat down to write the script. And with the help of his family, he was able to finish it in record time.

The next day, he submitted it to the producers of The Simpsons, and to his delight, they loved it. The episode was a huge hit, and Homer became the talk of Springfield.

From then on, Homer was known as the town's resident writing genius, and he continued to pen many more successful episodes of The Simpsons.

The character Frank "Grimey" Grimes has been dead for many years. His son later tries to assassinate Homer as revenge. And episode 600 establishes his ghost as a character. Yet in the opening of episode 750, they have him make a cameo at the plant. Implying that he is not only alive and well, but also got his job back. How did Burns' HR department let this slip through the background check? I hope someone got fired for this blunder.

That's fair. Says something that the best I can think of from innovation on PCs specifically in that era was the rise of MMOs.

I know it was a technical improvement but for quite a while it made them look quite a bit worse. Still reckon warcraft 2 looks better than 3.

The M.Y.T.H games did you the 3d environments quite well though. A lot of games at first didn't seem to, just having it be a graphics thing only basically.
