I still hope it was an April Fool's joke and RIck is still in brain-prison. The real resolution will happen next episode.

No see Rick died at some point in the past when he was in peril and all the episodes after that are the dreams of a dying man. Also Morty isn't real, he's a split personality of Rick. Birdperson was a ghost the whole time.

Along with a model of the Titanic and a jar of apple product, that was great.

I liked it, even though it relies it a bit too much on gratuitous violence.

Glad I gave it (and Archer) a chance, anything else like it?

R&M largely without peer right now as far as I'm aware. As for Archer, Frisky Dingo maybe? It's the same bunch of guys iirc. Also Clone High of course.

this season's episodes sound like they have more in common with some Baby Boomer-blowing CBS show than The Simpsons

I remeber watching the Frank Grimes, Tamzarin and the Lord of the Flies episodes when they aired (in Norway so like a year later than the US I guess?) and enjoying them finding them funny. The first episode I watched which really made me think something wasn't right was the death of Maude, that was really strange and awkward at the time. I still kept at watching Simpsons though although not as regularly as before enjoying the odd modern episode (24 minutes,The Seemingly Never-Ending Story som others as well). The episode which really put the final nail in the coffin was the myPod episode, after that one I've stopped watching Simpsons and that was in 2008.

Edit: two years ago in 2015 two of the latest seasons at the time were put online for free on one of the Chinese streaming websites (legal streaming), my wife who is Chinese insisted on watching an episode and we watched the tree house of horror where they did the Clockwork Orange parody and it was just so loving painful to watch.

Some of the old episodes I remember loving have bad jokes in them that I didn't get at the time and now I feel worse for liking the episodes they are in

Also the point at which I think I stopped watching was probably the episode where they get a horse and there's a land of jockies? or something

Turns out that's in the eleventh season so I guess somewhere around there is where the show really started stinking.

Anyways, here's something we can all enjoy - the antics of lionel hutz

I was watching an episode of The Critic a few weeks ago and it struck me how much I wish they'd do a live-action movie of the show if only to cast Chris Hemsworth as Jeremy Hawke and keep Lovitz in the role of Jay.

i liked the frank grimes episode, but i can understand why people hate it. it was definitely the beginning of the end of the Simpsons. like at one point the Simpsons despite being lovely people sorta, they were at least well meaning and loved each other. there was a heart to the show. now its just family guy where everyone is a mean rear end in a top hat with few redeeming qualities.

I feel like Rick shouldn't really be at the center of an episode. He's best when he's the setting, a force of nature that all the other characters have to deal with.

Were the Simpsons mean lovely assholes in that one, though? I'd say Homer was portrayed more as self-centered in an oblivious childlike way, with the added gag that they point out for the first time that he does pretty well for a guy that should be dead or in the gutter several times over from his stupidity.

People say this was the start of "Jerkass Homer" but you have the right of it.

Homer genuinely tried to befriend Grimey but it was never meant to be. Homer's station in life IS an affront to intelligent, hardworking people trying to rise above their circumstances.

"But he ate his sandwich!!! More like Homer HITLER if you ask me!!"

For my money the first appearance of jerkass Homer was literally the one where he said "Out of my way jerkass!" (Which I admittedly thought was pretty hilarious at the time.)
