Jumbie Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I never saw the early Simpson's episodes. I've found the show to be incredibly funny these last 6 or so years. However some people think that there has been a decline in the quality of the show. http://slate.msn.com/id/2078501/ I'm not qualified to judge. What do you guys think?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg540 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I'll admit they have a point, While the show is still very funny the Plots themselves have been on the decline as far as trying to portray a more realistic sitcom family. While i don't think the show is going to "jump the shark" as some say and plummet in quality anytime soon I think the main culprit is Time. They've been one of the longest running TV series ever after a point everything gets done. its like the one episode of southpark, "simpsons did it" that alone shows how muchthe simpsons have actually done and how hard it can be sometimes to keep fresh stories chruning out. Maybe some new writers on the team would help, or maybe run with the more comedic aspects of it and keep it going as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I agree to an extent, but some of the new ones, are really good, but some stink!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongebob Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Come on it has to be good if it is comming up on its 300 episode. Another 2 seasons and it'll be longest running sitcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 ok but hypothetically, would you rather it make that benchmark with 2 crap seasons or go out with a bang while its still good, like Seinfeld did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongebob Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 They have to come out with the final one to be really great. Then agian it can run for a while more and I hope they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I loved the Angry Dad episode,where bart made a web cartoon of his dad, that was good. The one where they go to Rio was good to, and the one where homer gets hooked on Marijuana!! But there have been somepretty mundane episodes. Its really good tho. Oh btw what ever happened to Family Guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbie Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Maybe cuz I'm an English teacher I'm reading too much into this, but SPongebob said: ...when TOm and Jerry were supposed to be on. i.e. he thinks of Tom and Jerry as persons rather than as the title of a show. I've always been a toonhead thgouh, so I guess I can't blame him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I like the direction the Simpsons has taken. I like how Homer never goes to work unless it's for a gag. I like how they don't have money problems. It just shows that the show has taken a different direction over the years. People are comfortable with the characters. If Homer never goes to work, no one's going to ask "What does Homer do for a living?" The pacing has become for lightning-quick than ever and the show may or may not be as great as it used to be, but that's a high standard to hold something to for over a decade. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still the best show on the air. That's a testament to how good the show used to be. Why should it stop if it's still great, even if it's not as great as it used to be? The writers and producers are clear enjoying themselves. Lots or TV show creator feel the need to spread their wings and explore new territory, but with the Simpsons, it's like there are no rules, you have all the creative freedom you could want (sort of). It's a great show I still love the new episodes. I'll be watching tongiht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Speaking of grammer, did you all know that since the Simpsons has come ont eh air, the word "D'oh" has been added to Webster's English dictionary? It's completely correct to use it in a term paper or anythign else for that matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This is the closest thing Hondo's Search 5k gave to me in terms of a general Simpsons' thread... Fruit Batman: http://youtu.be/I_OcEZFtAp4 And when the job's too big for just Fruit Batman--you pull up the dependables! http://youtu.be/e0wdrfqM-GY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Ah, yes. Too right, axels. I limited my search to this forum. I should've known it'd be in Anime. I keep forgetting about that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
