It's an interesting discussion because I remember in the first few seasons it often had overtly religious themes. Some episodes in particular, such as the one where Lisa fears (literally) going to hell because Homer is stealing cable, were pretty shocking to secular European audiences, and did a lot to cement the US's reputation as a backwards semi- Third World theocracy. A few seasons later and it was completely different.

At this point our only hope of the Simpsons ending is if the main voice actors die, probably of natural causes

Earwicker posted:there is already technology where you can record someone's voice, then type out a sentence on a computer, and essentially recreate that person's voice synthetically and make them "say" whatever you type. the tech is still in its early days and kind of buggy but its good enough that they will probably have it sorted by the time the main voice actors die. Our descendants 800,000 years from now will still be watching new Simpsons episodes in their Morlock tunnels

General Dog posted:Extremely vague question, but what's the longest a good show has lasted without a precipitous decline? Seems like for comedies it's extremely rare to go five seasons without a noticeable drop. Always Sunny had an impressive run, but it's clearly running out of gas at this point. There's usually a sort of Gauss curve with (worthwhile) entertainment products, where it starts out rough, they eventually hit their stride and enter a golden age (seasons 3-8/9 for the Simpsons), before inevitably running out of ideas and having the scenarios and writing become increasingly uninspired and self-referential. The Simpsons is just unique in that the 'decline' period is now the vast majority of their run

Quote-Unquote posted:After Gil saves Homer's life from a runaway giant donut, he and Homer become best friends. But Gil's neediness soon wears thin for Marge, and Homer causes hijinx when he attempts to divert Gil's obsessive friendship to Comic Book Guy. Bart and Milhouse also find their friendship pushed to the limit, as they each try to catch the attention of the new cool kid in school. Guest starring Justin Bieber. Didn't this one actually happen

Olaf The Stout posted:I got a question for modern simpsons watchers, do the simpsons still go to church? It really feels like an anarchism in the old episodes. Do you mean anachronism? Those old episodes with religious overtones (going to hell for stealing cable, Bart selling his soul) were weird and uncomfortable to European audiences, but they were still better than what we have now.

There are a lot of latter-day episodes that have some good jokes in them. They're just balanced out by all the cringeworthy stuff.

Not as good as peak Simpsons, but that's a high bar to set. I didn't bother watching much of it after they brought it back, it got noticeably worse with even more contrived plotlines (the last one I remember is Lois suddenly being Jewish)

Ritznit posted:It's super strange and unfun to see a show that used to offend particularly conservative mindsets the most make a full 180 and get praised by the internet edition of said particularly conservative mindsets. The alt-right isn't 'conservative' in any meaningful sense, it's very much a product of its time. They probably think the Simpsons offended whiny babies back in the day, and it offends whiny babies now. It's all moot since the Simpsons is poo poo now, I would be embarrassed to have them defend my viewpoints.

I happen to be rewatching the early seasons right now, there's some good episodes there (including the aforementioned American Civil War one). On the other, and even though I'm no delicate flower, the casual/extreme violence is kind of unsettling. I've always wondered how many parents unwittingly traumatized their children letting them watch South Park, thinking it's a kids' show.
