i wouldn't mind declaring 3 and 4 golden age, but there's a bunch episodes that i don't care much for in these. 5 and 6 are 100% classic simpsons
Carson Myers
>5-6: golden age 'no' >the point of no return is marge on steroids YES >you know what's funny? rape!
Brayden Baker
I'll never understand peoples' love of 1-2. I never liked anything outside of extremely few small moments in them.
Caleb Jenkins
I believe the Simpsons showed the first signs of decline in the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian.
Chase Mitchell
I wish people would just say the years. I have no idea what the seasons mean.
Isaiah Hernandez
you google the episodes by years? >1996, episode 4? if you were born with the simpsons you'd know, at least an aproximation, like "season 10 must be around 2000"
Xavier Bennett
>Season 19 isnt good
Since none of you have even watched anything past s12 its not like you'd know
Tyler Bell
Season six is the greatest season of the Simpsons. Fight me fuckers.
Jackson Phillips
>marge puts a gym >homer ends up getting surgery and cries from his nipples
>homer's mom used her ashes as another way to fuck with whatever cause she defends, therefore overwritting her already overwritten sweet goodbye into "she was a bitch all along"
yeah, no. And that's just two examples
Wyatt Clark
The Simpsons lost quality at the same rate as they removed themselves from reality. Of course they did crazy unrealistic things in the early seasons as well, but the main story was always about something actually grounded in the real world, about things you experience in every day life. The fear of losing your job, failing in school, being lonely and so on. The later episodes are so terrible because there is no connection to the real world at all. You can relate to Homer failing as a father or Lisa being envious of somebody else, but you can't feel for the Simpsons meeting random celebrities or doing the Homer shake. In that sense the decline already started with the monorail episode.
Nathaniel Smith
If you could make any one thing The Simpsons had into reality what would it be?
fuck yes this. I was trying to think of something worth mentioning, because duff beer doesn't sound too promising, and it actually exists somewhere im sure.
Luis Rodriguez
So I just stop watching after season 9?
David Rodriguez
You stop watching at whatever point you don't like it anymore.
Wyatt Howard
Yeah, season 10-12 arnt all that bad though
To be honest though the golden era (2-8) is so good and so densly packed you can just watch them forever
I always notice new things when i rewatch a golden era episode
Adam Gray
Yeah but when is it OKAY to stop watching?
Jayden Diaz
see
Elijah Jones
Whenever you want. Don't be spooked. if you really want people to tell you what to think the most elitist opinion that's somewhat nonfaggy is to stop after 7
Angel Brooks
>After 7
8 is the best season though
Landon Long
you mispelled 5
Nathaniel James
the monorail episode is considered one of the greatest
Ethan Parker
WACKY ZANINESS

I remember when the 14 season aired, I was in denial, hoping to see my beloved classic simpsons once again, I went further from the bodybuilding episode, the next was the one with Tony Hawk and again I skipped it as some sort of 300th special, but in the next episodes Flanders starts dating some blonde bimbo celebrity and that was the last straw, stupid premises, characters doing things they never did before, Homer acting like a complete retard, I can't believe that was more than 10 years ago.
Anthony Bennett
>tony hawk i knew it on that episode. I was 14 years old or so, and i just knew that the simpsons weren't the show i loved since i could barely speak and pronounce "simpsons"
Charles Brooks
>tfw when you're not american and watched it in random syndication order and didn't really notice season changes
Blake Nelson
not compared to the real seasons
Nathaniel Ramirez
You may not notice the differences between seasons 5-7, and you may not notice 8/9, but there's no chance in hell you'd confuse season 12 with season 4.
Jack Cooper
the simpsons ended when Obama was elected imo. It all just got too liberal for me.
Brody Martinez
how old are you
Christian Ramirez
>Poor infrastructure budgeting isn't a reality.
Logan Kelly
Sure, but if you watch, say, season 1-13 in randomized order most of the later episodes doesn't stand at all as clearly compared to the less realistic ones from the classic seasons as they do if you watch serially.
Evan Butler
no season 1 is pretty bad
Josiah Sanchez
>people breaking into song at town meeting is reality
Evan Bailey
s7 is where the shit begins
Oliver Taylor
They just meant that the basic plot of each episode was grounded. Of course not all of the gags are.
