i hope that the offsite simpsons wiki has a bunch of devoted watcher dedicated to pointing out continuity errors, like listing under the trivia for episodes stuff like "While the presence of several Borts in this episode seem to indicate that the name is common in the Simpsons universe, no other characters are named Bort throughout the series. See the dedicated page for Bort (young boy) for more information"

back in the 90s and early 00s i used to read episode capsules on http://www.snpp.com/. i knew all the episodes well enough that it was a pretty close simulation to watching the show. it looks like even those devoted spergs started abandoning the show once its downward spiral became more obvious Germstore posted:They just put a small unrelated segment at the end of an episode.

As bad and played-out as modern Simpsons is, it still isn't as  as arguing about which seasons of the Simpsons were the good ones and when it started to go downhill

Homer wants a younger, hipper image, so he starts hanging out with Terrence and Emily, two hipsters from Portland, but Marge and Bart find the couple, their child, and their ilk who take over the unhip town of Springfield to be irritating and pretentious.

I'm a guy who was too young for most of the first 10 seasons so I saw maybe one or two decent seasons and as far as I know 90% of it is poo poo

The jockey trolls was when I decided that I'd have to give up watching the show, although I didn't actually stop watching until that season was over.

man season 8 had some good episodes, though, looking at it. i had no idea the hank scorpio episode and the one where flanders says "hell-diddly-ding-dong-crap!" were so late. this is what happens when you mostly watched them in that blob of time where they ran reruns all night on the new hampshire channel.

Homer invests the Simpsons' life savings in a revolutionary new digital currency called PieCoin but as the house quickly gets overtaken with bizarre computer equipment Marge begins to suspect it's a scam. Meanwhile, Lisa gets obsessed with a new hit videogame on her Mapple MyPad and is frustrated with its lack of believable female characters.

yeah, most of them were pulled from the alt.tv.simpsons or whatever newsgroup, so you're talking some grade a nerds. it is interesting to read capsules from episodes that are clearly classic and hilarious getting "meh, c-" reviews from 1990s spergs

I watched that episode and thought it was pretty OK and then right at the end it just casually threw out the main spoiler for the Lego Movie which I hadn't seen. i don't know why the gently caress they did that.

I'm engaged in a project to deduce which state(s) Springfield could possibly be in. But wait! I have a novel approach. Instead of looking for clues to CONFIRM, I instead look for clues to eliminate. For instance, in the episode "Bart's Comet", Bart says, "Race you to Utah, Milhouse". And in "They Saved Lisa's Brain", Dr Hibbert says "Maybe I should go back to Alabama". Thus, Springfield is not in Utah or Alabama. Of course there is a distinct possibility that I will be able to use this method to eliminate EVERY state eventually...and I'm ok with that.
