Please, the people cry. Please give us more of these wonderful stories. Please show us more of Homer and Marge and Bart and Lisa and the baby. We don't have enough. It's the only thing we want.

So when they hit 800 episodes, only about 25% of the total episodes will be good. 30% if I'm being generous.

PostNouveau posted:https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1618693813769306112 why does it feel like every couple of weeks i enter this thread and fox announces they greenlit 2 more seasons? regardless, every time this happens, i keep wondering why they keep doing it despite the show falling in ratings every year, and so i decided to take a quick look at how each of those 3 shows are doing and sadly it seems like there is some sound logic to it. even though simpsons has been falling in popularity as time went on, it's still comfortably the most popular show fox has. i genuinely thought family guy would have been at the top (if even just slightly) but LOL NOPE. family guy's been hovering around 1 million or so per episode in the last season, with the highest episode being 1.68 million. for comparison, simpsons has several episodes doing double FG's best, with the highest episode at 4.77 million. and then you have bob's burgers is doing about as well as FG. so it seems quite understandable fox keeps renewing the simpsons since literally nothing else on the network comes close. and while i'm at it, some other fun facts i learned: - FG's best season ever was its first, and it did some monster numbers average 12.8 million - By the 3rd season, FG's ratings dropped like a rock to averaging "only" 4.5 million, which fox thought was bad enough to cancel it - for some reason, after a gradual decline up to season 11, seasons 12-15 were the most successful seasons of the simpsons, doing better than any of the 'golden years' seasons except 3

Mr Interweb posted:why does it feel like every couple of weeks i enter this thread and fox announces they greenlit 2 more seasons? Yeah you nailed it. The purpose of the show was always to generate revenue with other considerations secondary. It’s like if someone owned a restaurant and for eight years it had the best food and atmosphere in the state and created a lot of happy memories. Then big turnovers with cooks and waitstaff have left it a cruel parody of what it once was, but it’s still packed and making you big money, while dozens of other restaurants can’t get a foothold. Why close it?

Other channels in the same block showing Wonderful world of Disney*, Touched by an Angel*, Dateline, Ed, Steve Harvey. So, their highest rated seasons in that time coincide with both weak competition while also being part of a block of other successful shows on a night where pretty much everyone is going to have to stay in because of work/school week starts the next day.

Mantis42 posted:idk dr who has been on for like 70 years The Moffat and Chibnall years combined still aren’t even anywhere near as long as the fallow years of the Simpsons. And as bad as it got, the Moffat years would still throw out a gem or two along the way. It’s a real shame that Jodi Whitaker and Peter Capaldi’s renters were largely wasted though.

I actually liked Cold Case when it was on and still watch it on occasion. I haven’t watched FOX animation live in years and only recently found out there’s been a couple of animated series that came and went after a couple of seasons without even knowing they even existed: Bless the Harts and Duncanville. Huh.

JAMOOOL posted:Is there anyone here who was raised on the later Simpsons episodes (say, S12 on) and would later on go backwards and discover the classic stuff? We wanna hear from you!! I started watching around Season 13; there was a channel that played a Simpsons rerun every night at dinnertime and a new one on Sundays. Me, my sister, and my dad were all huge fans. We learned to recognize the couch gags to our favourite episodes, so when one of those came on whoever was watching would yell "It's the Thompsons one" or "It's the one with the land of chocolate!" and everyone else would come to watch. I don't think we perceived the show's quality decline, but all our favourite episodes were from seasons 2 to 8. I remember the DVD releases that were available were way behind - when season 5 came out on DVD, the show was already on season 16.

The first season DVD set came out in 2001 and for the first few they only released one season per year. In fairness this was in the golden age when good DVD releases came absolutely loaded with extras and they did not skimp on them, there was a load of work put into those early seasons.

People stopped buying individual season because they wised up to the idea that a full series box set would be more convenient and maybe less space consuming. That was (pretend I googled how many) seasons ago. And the show is showing no signs of slowing down...
