The Simpsons Movie might be the "best" thing made during the new simpsons era and it was pretty bad overall. Not as bad as the episodes made around the same time though.

That's because the movie was written by a "dream team" of Simpsons writers from the glory days and the lovely new ones. The old writers were recovered enough from not writing the show to bring some of the old magic back a bit, but the new writers weighed the whole thing down.

honestly I think the biggest reason internet nerds say they don't like the Simpsons nowadays is because they're out of touch with culture


90s had dad rock guest stars like Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney and people liked it


modern Simpsons has Lady Gaga and nerds don't know who she is or why it's a big deal she's on the show

Characters like Lisa or Brian in family guy almost always end up as an obnoxious mouthpiece for some of the writers political or social opinions. Its the risk you run with the designated 'SERIOUS' character who's the lone, usually cynical, voice of reason and intelligence. Personally I think that Lisa in the very early episodes could be really grating in the way a whole precious little snowflake who nobody understands can end up being, it was only around the third season that they were able to come up with scenarios where she didn't really seem mopey and quietly elitist, while being more proactive about issues that concerns everyone but not losing sight of the fact that she's an 8 year old girl for god's sake (the Malibu Stacy and Lisa's rival episodes are great).

I saw some new Simpsons the other day and Bart was vaping. It was odd.

That Dead Homer guy sure does spend a lot of time writing about the Simpsons.

Do you see The Simpsons as a job for life?

The show will continue until the Fox network can find a new hit comedy show for 8pm and, based on their track record so far, I'd give us another 50 years. No lack of respect to the fine Fox network, of course.

...

Do you think the quality of The Simpsons has ebbed and flowed over the years?

I think about it but I don't talk about it.
