"new" being Seasons 8-10 before the show got canceled in the late 90s, of course.

Watching the Simpsons makes me feel like I'm watching a show from some other culture, where I recognize that something is supposed to be a joke, but I don't get why it's funny.

Season 15-19 were okay, once they dialed back on the excesses of seasons 11-14.

Show started to go dull again, with its awfulness probably peaking around season 23.

At season 26, the show's usually okay if you aren't expecting the magic of the classic seasons.

I can't wait to watch another episode centered around Lisa, the most interesting* character!!!!

She's like Leela, only a little kid so there's no chance to flesh out a boring uninteresting back story to even try to make her interesting

Have they tried killing off a well known character like Family Guy did?

It wasn't a retcon unless if you're a continuity sperglord.

And that episode ruled.

Quick, someone post an insane made up plotline that we all laugh and joke about then realize is an actual loving plot line from the actual show and recoil in horror.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

A sleazy snake oil salesman convinces the entire town, through song, to invest all its money in a monorail. Homer becomes the conductor through pure chance. The plan is only foiled by a giant donut.

The Simpsons are at a live Cheech and Chong show when Chong, upset by the act's repetitiveness, begins to improvise and ultimately leaves the stage. Homer is encouraged to take Chong's place on stage, and recites the "Dave's not here, man" act from memory. Cheech is impressed, and asks Homer to join him for the rest of the tour under the name "Cheech and Chunk." Homer is disillusioned to learn that Cheech and Chong's lives are different from their stoner personae. Meanwhile, Chong has replaced Cheech with Seymour Skinner, forming a duo called "Teech and Chong," but the team proves unsuccessful. Homer eventually convinces Cheech and Chong to reunite.

Meanwhile, Marge discovers that the Crazy Cat Lady is a hoarder. In an effort to help, Marge has the clutter removed from her home. But after loading the waste disposal truck, Marge begins removing items she sees as unique and non-disposeable, eventually causing her own home to become cluttered. To cure Marge's new obsession, Homer brings back the Crazy Cat Lady, who ends up becoming a hoarder again after seeing all her old items.

In an epilogue Bart, posing as Puck, tells the audience the epilogue as well as that they can watch the show the next day on Hulu.com.

Yeah Mike Scully was one of those "decent writer, crappy showrunner" types. He still gets work on Parks & Rec.
