Hmm, that's definitely close. There's still a few good seasons after that but not laugh a minute fantastic like it was before that. then around season 11-2 it went right off a cliff

That was 23 years ago!

Das Bus, after that, was a pretty good episode.

Alot of people stopped watching simpsons but not me I have seen every episode.

The last 5 seasons they have gotten alot of the same things right as in the first ten seasons. This is a clip of recwnt that I think may be one of the best parodys . It is a clip from "Barthood" which obviously parodys boyhoood. I think out of all 32 years this episode actually ranks top 10 easily. I think this episode isnso great because as a kid the episodes wee so outlandish thats what my young self wanted and now that Im *ironically* 32 these newerr future episodes are geeat because they are more normal andntouch on subjects I feel today. I feel the simpsons are truly unique especially for my generation because you will never see a tv cartoon that can literally grow with you year to year . B32 years of the simpsons . 32 years of me.

There's something about the animation on the newer episodes. I hate it. I guess it's all digital now? It's too clean and feels weird.

Plus I just watched the clip and it's not even close to early Simpsons. The writing in the first 10-12 seasons was just amazing. Joke after joke but it all had a flow. The newer ones just feel stilted or something.

Saw a McBain clip and remembered someone put together the "full" McBain movie. Good old Swank, 10x more addictive than marijuana

Still think it's hilarious how this totally applies to Trump.

The jokes just feel much more forced, they used to flow naturally. Now it comes off as a little too 'Family Guy' which isn't necessarily bad, but just not the same

The Whacking Day episode was also a great episode.



The Shelbyville episode was one of my favourite episodes. So many great clips.

Barthood is one the best episodes. I love how it ends with so much hope.
