    omg yes. its been painful to suffer marges poor voice quality and the diminishing cast list.

    its like watching your favorite great aunt who used be the life of the party slowly disappear under layers of age and dementia. a foggy apparition of what they used to be.

    I don’t know. During the lockdowns, it was comforting to know that if I ever ran out of stuff to watch, there was always 20 years of The Simpsons waiting to be watched.

    Every other year the sentiment towards The Simpsons swings from “I don’t mind, they’re having fun with what they have, the show is even getting a little introspective” to “They should’ve ended 20 years ago, which is coincidentally when I stopped watching TV in general” either relative indifference or wishing the medium of television didn’t make it through the 00s, no inbetween.

    or make them grow up like they shouldve been, instead of remaining 10years old for the last 35years. shows like supernatural and ISAIP suffered severely after season 10, it got so bad and cringey…

      I had no idea what you meant by ISAIP and people kept repeating it in their replies.

      It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

      Folks. The acronym.

    After season 40? He wants the show to keep going for another 4 years after this season? The Simpsons has been dead for years already, barely held together like Weekend at Bernie’s.

      He doesn’t want it to keep going for four more seasons, but it’s already been renewed up to season 40 so that’s a done deal.

      He said at one point he’d never stop on his own accord and I think we see that playing out.

        I went to the live show back in 2000-something, and he made it very clear, in plain words, that he was just in it for the money from the start.

    Yeah it’s time to let it die before the entire main cast dies first. It lost its relevance a long time ago. Please end it on proper terms

    They got too pc ages ago. No edgy. No stereotypes. It got boring.

    The last 3-4 seasons had some good episodes not many but the good ones were pretty decent. Watched them after I saw yt vids about it. Just watch one if the plot looks interesting and it might actually be good.
