I've only ever seen the Kentucky version, so I think they settled on that for syndication.

I watched that Ned becomes a teacher episode when I was in Mexico last year. That's all.

 I'm pretty sure Pie Man was the episode that killed The Simpsons for me. Never watched another new episode after this terrible unfunny "parody".

I honestly didn't even realise there were other versions until a few years ago.

Alternative take: they never revealed the in-show location, they were referring to the actors' hometown location

Way back in the before times, when an ornamental tree ran the country and it was dumb, but we were kinda sure it wasn't malevolently dumb, there was a Simpsons bit that made me stop watching the show for good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgRLlqEvOT8 It was the "Nnnnnnn, that's good satire!" that broke me.

Hedgehog Pie posted:OH YOU MEAN THE ENRON RIDE It literally could have been a good joke if: - Homer just said "actually, they have something like that here!" - The ride was just called "The Enron Experience" - Removal of the "mmmm that's good satire" line. Like so, so, sooo many post-classic Simpsons jokes, 5 seconds of scrutiny turns a bad joke into a decent one.

I actually wonder a lot about how sight gags work in animated shows that are scripted rather than storyboarded. I feel like most shows that have a strong tradition of visual gags owe it to the careful and iterative development of an episode through storyboarding and acting out the scenes; and I think a lot of animated shows cut corners by going straight from a text script to animation without any of that visual development. Not only does that leave jokes in their initial, un-workshopped state, it makes it impossible to really do a purely visual gag that doesn't rely on Homer piping up with an expository line like "Oh, you mean the Enron ride!"

"we're all going to be rich!" doesn't make any sense and isn't funny. just have the visual gag and then at the end have that guy who says "awwwww" in the Droopy voice say "awwwww" in the Droopy voice. or have the roller coaster explode for no reason after it stops.

I vividly remember Family Guy doing the exact same joke, only with Disney instead of Enron. In my mind it was actually a bit better because, unusually, they didn't overcook it. I'm not going to go searching for the clip to see if I was right though.

"we're all going to be rich!" doesn't make any sense and isn't funny. What I hate the most about that line is that I'm 90% sure it's ADR punch-up. They got to the edit, realized how lame and on-the-nose the joke was, and then tried to fix it with the self-aware crap.

Last Chance posted:It will be on an episode of The Simpsons in four and a half years, mark my words! It may have to be in a reboot. The show still has not gotten a renewal announcement and I believe they are past the usual point where production would have started. With the Fox network no longer having ownership of the show I suspect they may finally be done with it.

Huh, I guess I'm so used to hearing "Simpsons renewed!" I didn't realize they hadn't been this time around yet. I feel like I've asked this question in this same thread before but who cares, do you think if The Simpsons had ended in the late 90s/early 00s, they'd be considering reviving it at this point? Makes me wonder what sort of thing we'd get in that weird scenario

The last renewal will leave them with 7 episodes in production that don't air this season, so it's possible they pull the plug but still have an abbreviated Season 33. Maybe they rush together a series finale too.

i can't imagine they would pull the plug at this point. Animation is one of the few completely covid safe ways to make a show, so why wouldn't they keep the new content train running until at least until whenever the pandemic is over
