Yeah actually Sam Simon and Jim Brooks deserve the credit for The Simpsons being good; Groening just came up with the initial idea and the shorts. Also George Lucas had nothing to do with the good parts of Star Wars.

He probably has but I don't get this remark, did he major in literature or something

My Groening lore is very limited

the remark is that everyone has heard of it because it's a well-known book and movie, so it's naive to say that someone is unaware of the implications of "lolita express"

That's why episodes like the LOTR spoof are timeless, no commentary just dumb and silly comedy.

that episode is cancelled because they call the kids LARPing Harry Potter "fags"

Family Ties went to England too. If you were a sitcom of the era that was just a thing you did.

I like how Al Jean has to explain all the jokes on the DVD commentary with such insight like "Mt. Splashmore is a parody of water parks"

There's one commentary where a character uses a spork and yeardley smith had apparently never seen one and asked the writers how they came up with that

apparently conan only wrote 4 episodes?? (but produced over 50)

still, one of those episodes he wrote was marge vs. the monorail, so that settles that :colbert:

They did a lot of collaboration and rewriting in the room back then so who gets the writing credit doesn't give you the full picture of how many people contributed content to many episodes

Isn't Lisa's substitute the one where homer says just because I don't care doesn't mean i don't understand

It's ok though because Marge scolds him and he learns the error of his ways

I just looked this episode up and remembered that it was the one where my own avatar master Steve Buscemi shows up for literally a single gag, possibly in the middle of a bad musical number? I remember at the time that was singled out as being perhaps the worst use of a guest star in the history of the show.

They've officially run out of ideas as an upcoming episode will have Yeardley Smith guest star as herself. Apparently one of her side projects is a true crime podcast and that's what brings her to Springfield.

I guess she doesn't get paid enough from The Simpsons so she has to take all the podcast money for herself too

A lot of the actors don't really seem to get the show but I think that might be my own prejudice as having watched all the episodes a hundred times and memorizing them all and they maybe watched it once after doing their lines. It's so disappointing to find out they're not all huge fans like I am!

yeah people always bring up stuff from the old episodes when we poo poo on the new ones. "but they did that 20 years ago too!"

and the important thing is, it was funny when they did it 20 years ago and just lazy today. And they weren't making fun of the unions as much as they were making fun of the stereotype

BBT is one of the shows that feels extra weird without a laugh track

Any sitcom with laughter would look awkward if you edited it like this because the actors always pause for laughter

how was the Al Jean and Mike Reiss era the golden age of The Simpsons but they're so lame and unfunny now? Were they ever good or just supervising the actually good writers?

Dunno why Simpsons would think they’re a crusading force for political progress. They’ve put probably hundreds of millions into Murdoch’s coffers.
