Okay so we've talked about the first signs of getting lovely in general being in season 9, but what's the lowest? Like above with the Lena Dunham? Before that? Like when did it become unwatchable? I'm going with like...season 13

Anyone ever see the one where Homer is a paralyzed superhero who can only communicate by farting? Don't.

It had the infamous dolphin bit that had literally no jokes and just wouldn't end. While I'm sure the Halloween specials have only declined further into the garbage chute from there, it was the last time I bothered with new Simpsons episodes and that was already after I was giving up on the series.

Every THOH since like 1999 has been pretty awful though. They clearly just churn them out to not break tradition. A year or two ago they did their first ever non-THOH Halloween episode, and it was surprisingly good. If you want to see a modern episode that isn't total trash, I'd recommend that. Whatever it was called.

Every other episode is awful, with some of the lowlights of the series, like the one where Bart and Homer are tied together and the one where they get framed for murder. Season 13 marked the departure of Mike Scully as showrunner, with Al Jean replacing him. Jean is still the showrunner today, so there probably won't be any chance of recovery unless someone replaces him.

bucksmash posted:I don't even know what season or episode this was, but I gave up on the show after some bullshit episode where Bart gets chased by an angry dog and then makes friends with a cowboy who ends up being a drunk loser or something. Not a single laugh, and it felt so painfully phoned in and sad. This was at least 10+ years ago. This was me too. I remember it was my freshmen year of college and I'd slowly fallen out with the show, then I caught that episode and I knew the Simpsons I loved growing up was gone

From what I hear, he'll probably never be replaced because he's good at making sure the show gets made on schedule and under budget, and that's all Fox cares about at this point.

I stop watching the Simpson around the 2000s. I even found the episode title that made me stop : Kill the Alligator and Run. loving hated it. I check a few clip and holy poo poo, when are they changing the VO cast i.e. the VO for bart is way past her prime. ( I know that`s the only condition that the show will be cancelled if it happens).

Milky Moor posted:holy gently caress this is real?? I think(/hope) they're supposed to be awful? Because all Krusty's marketing poo poo is always awful? Like an extremely tone-deaf and moronic evil marketing version of how the African version of Sesame Street had a muppet child orphan with HIV? -------- Just read the episode full summary. Doesn't clarify. And I'm sure not gonna watch it myself. But I did learn this: In the UK, the Itchem and Scratchem Blow was edited out, due to it being aired before the watershed because of Itchem setting fire to Scratchem's hair then rolling him up into a beach towel and being smoked like a marijuana joint.

Krusty's horrible marketing is supposed to be funny because it's so awful. Worker and Parasite is fantastic for being so bizarrely terrible.

The Simpsons is still going to be funny if you're a kid. My nephews certainly do discriminate based on season.
