When did it become shit?

>>214278391 (OP)
Oh no no Simpsons bros

>>214278391 (OP)
S9 is the last watchable season.
Some people will say it turned to shit after the movie but it was already shot by then.
The movie is fucking terrible too, obviously.

>>214278391 (OP)
Season 06 episode 05 was the peak of The Simpserts. ;-)

>>214278540
Wizard of Evergreen Terrace from Season 10 is funny.

The movie is watchable. Much higher quality than the episodes of that era

>>214278576
You're not wrong. It would be dumbfounded to say so.

>>214278519
Its shit, one of those tilty seat while you watch a screen rides. The awful fake popcorn smell made me feel sick the entire ride

>love Futurama
>cant get passed more than a handful of Simpsons episodes
what causes this?

>>214278391 (OP)
As someone who watched all episodes from season 1-10 in a month, the decline started with Who Shot Mr. Burns part 2.

Seasons 3,4,5 were absolute peak.

It's watchable but it's not that good. Most of the jokes were rewritten for normalfag appeal. They mention on the commentary they had dozens of test screenings and kept changing things because non-Simpson fans didn't understand. The end result is half the gags are something basic like "lol Homer gets hurt" or random pop culture references like Spider-Pig. Stuff that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Being "not as shit as zombie Simpsons" is hardly a ringing endorsement.

>>214278391 (OP)
There’s a silver era that lasts until around season 15 or 16, then a period where only the Treehouse of Horror episodes are good, then a completely irredeemable period that lasts until today.

I still don't understand "the joke" or why it took off
>homer has a pig and calls it spiderpig

The fact that they used Arnold Schwarzenegger as the president instead of Rainier Wolfcastle make this abundantly clear.

>Silver age
Seasons 1-4
>Golden Age
Seasons 5-9 Principle and the Pauper is dumb but still funny with some good writing
>Bronze age

13-now

No, the movie isn't an outlier, it sucked too.
>>214278948
Wrong. 6, 7, and 8 have some of the best episodes in animated sitcom history.

>>214278391 (OP)
Shit? Probably sometime around season 25-29
But it first started to drop at around season 7. It was okay from 8-14 and not good but not shit from 15-20 even worse but not shit from 21-24

>>214281528
Retard opinion

>>214278594
The movie's fucking bad and has that problem of "modern" Simpsons where the rhythm and delivery of jokes feels forced, like the writers know the show isn't funny and are hoping for a pity laugh.
>>214279462
That shitty gag and the marketing around it was unbearable, emblematic of the bad joke and gag delivery the franchise had at that point.

>>214281572
Why are you talking about yourself.

>>214281375
You would think the writers had enough clout to tell Fox execs to fuck off and keep Wolfcastle as he was, because you'd have to be living under a rock to not see he was already an Arnold parody and had been in the show for over a decade by 2007.

>>214281615
I'm actually talking about your opinion but I guess you're too retarded to tell

>>214281688
Yes, I can tell you're retarded because you disagree with my opinion. Welcome to 4chan.

>>214281712
Anybody who thinks season 1-4 is silver IS retarded

>>214281774
I disagree. It's not as tightly written as 4-8 but it still has its moments. Remember, back in the day, you could make a show that had a shaky first season or two and let it grow and evolve, not like now where everything has to be dialed in and executive noted to shit.

>>214278391 (OP)
I like the Mike Scully era, people are way too hard on it. Its like the people who hate on seasons 8 and 9 of Seinfeld.

>>214281853
Skully's overhated, the showrunner that really killed it and made every episode unfunny was Dana Gould.

>>214281528
Correct opinion

>>214278519
Back to the Future ridebros, I think we're back.

>>214281838
It has more heart and soul and it's funny maybe not as laugh out loud funny but still funny
>back in the day, you could make a show that had a shaky first season or two and let it grow and evolve, not like now where everything has to be dialed in and executive noted to shit.
I agree with you on that it's only going to get worse

>>214281528
s2-4 was peak. decline started in 5 and clear by 7 though it was still good.

>>214282369
>s2-4 was peak
Not quite. There's good episodes, but season 2 especially has an issue where some episodes drag and get really saccharine.

>>214282193
You have to understand, while we see the first couple seasons as kind of shaky now, the show was a phenomenon those first couple years - Bartmania. It was no joke. It is also pretty much a one of a kind success story; many shows tried and failed to emulate its success during primetime television (Fish Police, Capitol Critters, Family Dog, etc., etc.). S1-2 are absolutely still good enough on their own, it's just that S4-8 are so fucking good that they outshine the first three seasons (perhaps unfairly) and S10 and beyond (fairly).

Also, the show died with When You Dish Upon a Star

>>214282448
I don't give a damn if other people consider it "Shakey"first 3 seasons were/are magic and the heart and soul of the entire series. 4-6 might be "funnier" with more consistent animation /writhing but there's nothing special about them

>>214282590
>nothing special about [s4-6]
>nothing special about Cape Feare
sorry, we can't be friends

>>214282618
They were great and very funny but they aren't special/magic/heart/soul whatever like the first 3

>>214281528
>Wrong. 6, 7, and 8 have some of the best episodes in animated sitcom history.

It's been a while, and they may be true, but seasons 3,4,5 are still better overall.

>>214282875
S3 is kind of a mixed bag. S3 has stuff like The Otto Show, which is honestly one of my least favorite Simpsons episodes (judging it against other classic era episodes), it's a pure fever dream of an episode and not in a good way.

>>214278391 (OP)
when the early 90s ended

>>214278594
It was literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I walked out after the rock and a hard place scene

>>214278391 (OP)
Personally, I stopped giving a shit about the Simpsons after that Tony Hawk episode.

>>214278391 (OP)
After most of the original writers left to Futurama, that period futurama was great
With time futurama became meh, neither bad or great. I'm assuming because they got out of ideas, fhe writers fuck offf elsewhere or died

>>214278519
What could have been...

>>214284070
>>214284213
Considering the amount of soilent adults that go to amusement parks, a Futurama ride would've been overkill.

>>214278391 (OP)
First season. Then it gradually got better until about season 6 or 7, and then slowly declined until season 10/11, then pretty much dropped off a cliff.
