Season 10 had some good eps and some really bad ones, I'd say 11 and 12 were better on average, bland seasons with some kinda ok episodes and gags. 13 had The Old Man and the Key, which had a lot of great gags including the iconic "Old Man Yells at Cloud" but the rest of the season was poo poo. Season 14 the only joke I remember liking was learn to fart.Ork of Fiction posted:Yeah, as of ~2010 you need streaming #s to get a real picture of what's going on. So if, 1:10 of Hulu's 12 mil subscribers watches the Simpsons, that's still significant. That's still not a very big bump compared to the early years.

I think the episode where Rodney Dangerfield played Mr Burns' estranged son and his character got written out at the end was a worse episode than Principal and the Pauper. It had a similar "screw you, we're pretending this never happened" ending and It wasn't even a good use of a talented guest star.

Scudworth posted:Das Bus is a lovely retelling of Lord of the Flies using Simpson children, a book with almost no comedy to being with. The Bob's Burgers parodies of Breakfast Club and Stand By Me were way better than Das Bus because they had a consistent amount of jokes all the way through. Das Bus had some good gags early on, before going into "parody" mode and then wrapping up with narration for a non-ending.

What the gently caress? This loving sucks. TF2 HAT MINING RIG posted:I like the second Futurama movie but none of them feel much like movies, more like two to three completely seperate episode plots that were kind of tied together. Personally I liked the premise better when it was in Star Control 2, more subtle about it. "Shall we come to your *house* so that we can be *relatives*?"

frytechnician posted:The "Maude Death" episode played a few weeks back - caught it having breakfast at my girlfriend's place as I don't bother having a TV. Holy gently caress, that episode is way, WAY worse than I remembered. It is unbelievably clunky, ham-fisted and unnecessarily cruel & heartless. Most of all, it isn't funny. It just makes you groan and all the voice actors sound like they're reading their lines so slowly and obviously, it's like they're trying to make non-english speakers understand them. I liked the parrots at the beginning and Hommer's obsession with the free t-shirt and star wipes but everything else in that one was hot garbage. "Show us your boobs! Show us your boobs!" \

Sagebrush posted:lisa the vegetarian is a preachy episode because paul mccartney is a preachy stuck-up fart. he refused to do the show unless her becoming vegetarian would be a permanent change, because it's a serious topic. I hope the moment he dies the Simpsons writers start having Lisa eat meat again.

Eh! Frank posted:This reminds me, what's the general opinion on the episode where Homer becomes a local celebrity after bowling a perfect game? I think it was season 11 or 12, but I remember loving it when I was a teen. I haven't seen it in years though so I don't know how it holds up. The bowling alley scene's jokes were great but everything after was a huge drop in quality. "I'm not the original Teller" did get a laugh from me.

Irradiation posted:It also ignores the fact that Homer's half brother, from his dad, was a the CEO of a successful car company. I guess he was dumb enough to trust his newly met sibling with the future of his company, but he then became successful again after single handily inventing a revolutionary and complicated piece of electronics to communicate with babies. It's the Lisa Episode of Lisa Episodes, not letting anything get in the way of its non-message.

PostNouveau posted:In the reruns, they clip the top and bottom of the shots so they can stretch it into widescreen TVs. So the joke where Duff, Duff Lite and Duff Dry are all coming out of the same pipe doesn't show. It just looks like 3 different pipes coming from the ceiling. Reminds me of when Gary Larson complained about the sign for the Haywire factory being cropped from the "Everything's gone you-know-what" strip.

New Yorp New Yorp posted:I had the same resistance. And I hated the first few episodes because it was very much "dick fart my bitch ex wife lol", but then it settled into being the best Star Trek show in ages. Discovery and Picard are trash and I refuse to watch the lower decks because I hate Rick and Morty. I watched a few episodes of Lower Drecks but gave up because they relied way too much on monkey cheese and angry screaming as humor.

PostNouveau posted:The funniest thing about Homer's food tour of New Orleans was the Binging with Babish guy went to New Orleans to recreate it shot-for-shot. He got down there after planning it for weeks and bringing a whole crew and equipment, and as they were going out for their second day of shooting some random lady went viral by posting a video doing exactly what they planned to do. So they got to watch her viral video get famous while they listlessly rode around New Orleans doing their shots. Good, gently caress that guy. His thin stew with four kinds of rice looked like garbage.

Whizzing Wizard posted:Family Guy had those pre cancelation seasons that were decent, then it has been consistently bad for the last 15-20 years. They also ran a lot of the jokes from the first few seasons into the ground shortly after it came back, so now the old stuff is worse than when it was new.
