I just want to rant a little bit and im sure its old hat by now but fuck it
The Simpsons is my favorite show of all time. In its prime it was the absolute best sitcom. The series had some of the best wit, satire, and social commentary thats ever been on television. The humor all came from a place of genuineness. It did so much to make you connect with the characters without hitting you over the head with it. Back in its prime it did literally everything right. Literally.
Since after season 12 (yes i know it started rapidly going to shit after 9 but im a nostalgia fag for 10-12) all of that was gone. And ever since its just getting more and more painful to see. Ive always compared it to a good friend rotting away on meth or some shit. Knowing what they used to be is nothing like they are now. That theyre already dead and youre just waiting to hear about the withered body of your old friend being found in some abandoned building.
I know this is blog post faggotry but i wanted to see if anyone agreed with how i see things
This would have been great, except maybe even Season 2 - Season 8. Season 1 was a beginning and all shows have to start somewhere, but it's so different from what it became, even in the golden years.
It seems like the early Simpsons tried to reach for small lessons, concluding in a sharply drawn moral that allowed a character to mature somewhat.

Justin Watson
It might as well have been the 2000s, you stupid redditor piece of shit.
Blake Fisher
GOAT episode.
The rate of high quality jokes within a cohesive overarching plot has never been matched.
Thomas Jones
say what you want but I think early modern family and early simpsons are quite similar
>small lessons >great family feels >endearing characters
and just like the simpsons it went to shit when they started loading it with socially conscious crap
Andrew Rogers
That's not a sentence, you stupid piece of shit.
Kevin Phillips
seems theres a lot more clips on youtube these days
Nolan Ramirez
Anyone ever read those Simpsons comics? Only comics I ever read.
I once got an entered drawing published in one of the editions.
Oliver Kelly
embrace it bro. it's the greatest show of all time and one of the best to have been obsessed with
i just hope one day if i have kids that they can watch and enjoy it too
Chase Rivera
>catch a glance at a simpsons episode beginning on TV >couch gag was them on smart phones bumping into each other, and back to their phones while on the floor Is that what's considered funny?
There is a situation literally every day where theres a relevant quote. i say it half the time and just think it the other half

David Parker
Just meant all the music on the show
Angel Brooks
Modern Family has always been overly-sentimental and ham fisted. They close every episode with a contrived, saccharine lesson learned by one of the characters, with manipulative music in the background. Completely lacking in 90s Simpsons edge.
The Simpsons was a show I was obsessed with as a child, loved everything about it, glad to see others share that same love. Some episodes have made me cry.
This also has a special place in my heart for some stupid reason
Andrew Wilson
Fair point, it never felt too contrived in the earlier seasons to me (later it's literally scrubs-tier) but now that I think about it they had these moments in S1 in the simpsons, didn't they? I might be wrong cause I haven't seen S1 in maybe 6 years though
I think most everyone on Sup Forums feels this way to some degree, even if we disagree on what exact episode or season it went to shit. It tears me up to think that the Simpsons have been utter shit for two thirds of its entire time on the air.
Reminder that pic related is the most memorable thing to have happened to the Simpsons in years. This is the state of what was once the most beloved animated show on television.
Asher Cook
There are some pretty saccharine moments in S1 but the Simpsons was still considered pretty edgy. To portray just about every institution as corrupt and inept was kind of groundbreaking at the time.
Leo Jackson
I wish someone had kicked me in the balls instead of seeing that shit
Lucas Diaz
Goldbergs does the same thing. Only diff is that they earn it as opposed to Modern Family. MF feels slightly cynical and then tries to change its tune in 2 minutes.
Brody Kelly
I swear
simpsons fans are the most autistic fandom around
Hudson Bennett
>marge >fun
Aaron Ramirez
>edgy Youre damn right
Nolan Edwards
The heart and simplicity is not what made the Simpsons good back in the day. Plenty of other sitcoms had that.
What the Simpsons had was just a really, really good team of writers. Comedy nerds who knew the ins and outs of a good gag from decades of comedy and animation history.
Jonathan Flores
She tried man
Jose Hill
Yeah, like once. She was always for the most part a naggy cunt
Josiah Bennett
every simpson dance now!
Christian Howard
Yeah she was but thats what her character had to be at the time
She was the one who kept the crazy shit grounded
Without her nagging there would be no conflict in whats right or wrong in the stories
Nolan Howard
>that shooting star Rip my heart
Cameron Lee
Tis true
Jack Thomas
for the first 10 seasons she was naggy but she had the best intentions and was just a loving mother
then she became a naggy cunt
Jacob Sullivan
>Johanson theres a snitch
Caleb Sanders
Yeah. The show was endearing but what set The Simpsons apart was the creative team's astounding comedy and brilliant eye for satire.
Chase Jenkins
gets me every single time
Matthew Ross
What i think set the writers apart is that they were naturally funny people with backgrounds in very different fields
Plenty of them were computer/math nerds. Conan got his degree in history
And as we know they all pretty much went to harvard and did nothing but shit on it every chance they got
Robert Long
I think it's probably just because it's American.
>British shows >Always know exactly what they want to do with it and which direction it's going in >Always finish on at the top >Always well remembered >Endlessly rewatchable
>American show >Have an idea (assuming it hasn't been stolen from an original design which is rare) >It gathers momentum and hits its prime >Jew producers refuse to let it go out on a high because they've got a genuine cash cow >Run it into the ground (I mean hey, it's not your "baby" that you've loved and cherished, you just put the money in and collect 5000% profit so who cares?) >Ends up completely hated >Only people who have love for it (in any sense) are delusional people who think the good times will come back and the Jews who are getting this free money from it >Endlessly rewatchable (right up until the Jews realise how much of a blank cheque they have on their hands)
You know it as well as I do. Unless you're one of those delusionals I mentioned which is also possible given the amount of liberals and faggots on Sup Forums.
Alexander Morgan
In what way?
Jason Bailey
Best musical moment on the show, and that's saying quite a bit.
Jace Foster
>Always finish on at the top >Always well remembered >Endlessly rewatchable
Maybe im wrong but im going to imagine there are a shit load of britbong shows that came and went and were absolute shit
Considering how shows never seem to make it past a third season
Cooper Perry
Conan had a small writer reunion interview thing on his "serious talk" web show that's pretty neat: youtube.com/watch?v=DtJ28qOEG1g It's not nearly as interesting as I hoped it'd be, but still kind of cool.
Liam Richardson
>decades later and those kids never grew up
At least there is Rule 34 of grown up Lisa incest.
Jacob Murphy
just watched that today. It's good but I think a bit overrated.
Jose Kelly
British comedy at the moment is fucking atrocious. Have I got News For You, a "satirical" panel show is in its 51st series this year, make of that what you will.
Jonathan Ross
are they still doing would I lie to you?
Jack Campbell
golden era simpsons did touching so well. the above Do It For Her Lisa and Bart quitting the ice hockey match
I'm sure I'm missing a big one too
Connor Foster
yes
Brayden Lewis
>tfw as you get older and see these threads, people will eventually going to talk about how Seasons 20-30 were the GOAT seasons
Henry Lewis
cheers gonna watch some new episodes then
Gabriel Williams
cuckan o'brien should quit his bullshit talk show and start a new series with groening
Chase Hill
Yup, I remember reading one that months later the show used the plot to make the episode A Tale of Two Springfields.
Samuel Thompson
>i have seen four episodes of the simpsons
Jayden Martin
