When watching a show a while after it’s released you can sometimes tell when a show was canceled because a season will end on a big (occasionally spiteful) event.
The following season after it’s picked back up occasionally stumbles a bit but I’m wondering what examples can you think of that were especially bad?
new season ep 1… did you watch it? matt is stuck in the past. just like the simpsons it has lost touch on all levels.
in simpsons matt failed to adress changes like mobile phones , tablets or just the fact that he owns a house, two cars, two kids and has one job pays the bills. insane. matt felt that and tried make them use a cellphone once in a while but geez this feels outdated and so does futurama this year. not one of the jokes was pointing the viewer to anything new. south park has a hard time these days aswell but did not fail like futurama 2023.
solar opposites is nice I agree. Final Space was better. And again shit wins: lower decks.
In regards to Simpsons, I’d say that expecting that but not any other sign of passing time is a bit ridiculous. They’re literally stuck in time. They do not age. Why expect anything else?
But then they also do things like flashback episodes that show Homer & Marge as teenagers in the 90s when they previously had them meet in the 70s because the show’s so damn old now.
But also, it’s a cartoon so it’s not like it’s obligated to make sense anyway. Just do whatever I guess lol.
I just watched episodes three and four (with the Bitcoin and being unable to watch a movie without using your phone jokes) and think I get what you mean now.
