>>87513629
Believe it or not, The Simpsons is still funny, it's just nowhere near the perfection it once was. It used to be unbelievably funny, now it's just funny, and still enjoyable.

>tfw haven't even watched half a season's worth of episodes of the Simpsons
>probably only ever saw two in full

>>87513925
That's stupid. You're not too invested because there will be no payoff. You're literally just wasting your time.

>there are people who still watch the Simpsons

Who are these people? Where the fuck are they? I've not seen a single person reference the show past Season 12 ONCE.

WHO THE HELL IS WATCHING THE SIMPSONS?

>>87513992
Probably the same people who watch Family Guy

>>87513959
What was your first season? Post-10 I presume?
The only joke I found funny from the later seasons was when Marge meets Stephen King and he tells her about his new book about Ben Franklin.
Then again, I stopped watching at around 13 or 14 and never looked back. But I doubt they have become better.

Why the fuck do you care? You don't like Simpsons anymore, you don't watch Simpsons anymore. It literally doesn't effect you in any way if Simpsons continues you not. So why are you so butthurt?

Adjusting to shifting timelines if the show were to end in 2019 Bart, Lisa and Maggie are born in a post 2009 world while Homer and Marge have their childhoods dependent on 90s culture.

Let that sink in.

>>87514276
Adjusting to shifting timelines Batman should be born in the mid 80s or early 90s. Let that sink in.

Nigga, the thing about these shows is that they can be dropped at any point, picked up at any point and nothing but time would be lost.
Shows like this don't have any intricate plotline that leaves you lost if you skip a single episode, they just tack on content on the same premise that resets every time, for god sake man, it's been almost 30 years and Bart is still the same little asshole in fourth grade.
There's nothing to be invested about.
In the time you followed this shit all the way to be back to where you began, wars have been fought, people that appeared on the show have died, countries have fallen and unions have been splintered, breakthroughs in technology have been had... and The Simpsons family is still going:
Homer is still the fat slob that keeps the show afloat with his shenanigans.
Marge is still the unremarkable voice of reason.
Bart never learns anything or DOES learn something but it's immediately forgotten the next week.
Lisa is now the know-it-all obnoxious mouthpiece for her liberal writers
and the baby shot Mr Burns this one time.
There's barely any change.
Of all the things you could have wasted a third of your life on you chose to waste it on something that will never go anywhere because of how it's presented.
I feel sorry for you, my dude.

>>87513974
>>87514333
It's only 20 minutes a week and some of the newer episodes are entertaining.

In hindsight though, I should've dropped it after the movie.

>>87514198
First season was too far back to remember, but I was definitely introduced to, and still remain a huge fan of to this day, classic Simpsons. I own a few of the classic seasons on DVD as well(1, 4, 5, and 7 I think), and believe that the show was absolute gold then.

HOWEVER, when comparing anything to those seasons, of course it's going to look bad. People tend to be overly pessimistic about the new seasons whenever they get the chance. They've merely gone from legendary to good in quality. Sure, there's a few things I dislike about modern Simpsons as well, such as the new intro, and especially the degradation of the THOH series into a contest of how far/gross the writers think they can go, instead of the opportunity for horror parodies and more outlandish story lines that it used to be, but the series as a whole isn't terrible.
Sometimes people need to put their nostalgia aside and judge things for how they are now rather than constantly comparing them to the past.

TL;DR: I'm a fan of classic Simpsons, which I give an A, but modern Simpsons is still a solid B if you give it a chance.

>>87514276
I actually liked it when one of the newer episodes poked fun at this constantly shifting timeline, when Marge was recounting a story from when Bart and Lisa were 4 and 2 respectively.

>It all happened six years ago. The president at the time was the president, and the popular music of the time was all the rage.

From season 1 to 28 there's 618 episodes not counting the movie.
At 22 minutes each, not counting ads we're looking at 13596 minutes to watch them all adding to 226 hours which is 9 Days and 10 Hours you've spend watching the Simpsons again not counting the movie nor the commercial breaks nor reruns.
9 days and 10 counting for no payoff, that's counting on you outliving the show, because you never know.
Leave it while you can or keep watching till you croak it's your choice, make no mistake friendo, the only investment to be had in watching The Simpsons is your life

Hi, Boco.

>>87515417
This basically.
A good number of people consider the "golden age" to go as far as season 15 (the last with the original VAs), there was some negative reception to the later seasons because of the new VAs, but people eventually got over it. Now the show stays mostly on "okay" quality, except for shit like the bulldozer episode.

I also helps that LA's Fox airs 3+ hours of Simpsons daily in a timeslot where other channels are dead, and they mix and match season episodes to try and keep viewers through the whole thing.

The voice actors' current contracts expire in Season 30. Of course it's anyone's guess how much longer Julie Kadaver can last.

>>87516108
It doesn't matter how long Julie can last, they can always recast her. The producers were more than willing to carry on as normal when Harry Shearer walked out.

>>87518037
Simpsons still have a huge following on social media. And we live in an age where if you have a massive social media presence, you're beyond profitable. Just look at The Simpsons Facebook page. 90 to 95% of the comments are people cheering that The Simpsons is being renewed for two more seasons. Normies are literally the only group that's keeping Simpsons alive and profitable.

>>87513629
I thought for sure it was going to end at season 20. They're going to keep it alive until Dan Castellaneta dies.

>>87518098
Yeardly likely isn't going anywhere, it's not like she has to make an effort,she just reads Lisa's lines in her normal voice

>tfw I got the FXXNow App on my Shield.

Been watching seasons 1-10 recently. I forgot how good this show used to be.

The ride will never end

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0PJYqzht3s

Not even death will stop it. They will get other voices that sound similar enough to make that cash

I'm now full convinced that Fox will continue the show even if one of the main VA dies. I mean, they were going to replace Harry. That proved to me that this show will never fucking end

>>87518206
and she makes as much money as the rest of the main cast.

>>87518402
>>87518206
That's what I hate about Yeardly. She gets paid the same as Dan, Harry and Hank. She literally does one voice while Dan, Harry and Hank voice 10 or more characters. It's fucking bullshit that she thinks she deserves as much as the others.

Season 30 would be a good place to end it, even if I can't imagine life without Simpsons at this point.

>>87518586
Curious Boco but how old are you?

Physically 30. Mentally I never got past 14 or 15.

al jean did say they wanted to stop at 30 but i won't believe it until it's official

after Lisa Goes Gaga the show honestly hasn't been that terrible, it just doesn't have many ideas for obvious reasons

I hope it ends at season 31 just to mess with people obsessed with round numbers.

My uncle still watches Simpsons

What exactly made the thing go downhill? I haven't seen anything but a few episodes past season 12 and it's pretty bad. Did staff change ruin it?

>>87519765
There's no exact cause, more that a story--especially an episodic one--simply cannot last forever. Most show you'll see will suffer from something called 'seasonal rot' around season 5 or 6 where the writers start to run out of ideas.

With a set of main characters, there really is only so much you can do. Which is why they keep shifting focus to side characters and celebrities. There just isn't much to do anymore, so they're rehashing shit or just flat out doing nothing but reciting a pop culture reference point by point.

That and I heard Groening basically jumped ship and is only related in name at this point.

>>87513629
I hope FOX let the Simpsons die.
The Simpsons rose in the '90s as the new standard that represents America, having overshadowed Peanuts 30-minute specials.
It's really interesting to rewatch the very 1st episode from today's perspective, because Bart Simpson actually mentions Charlie Brown and the Smurfs in it.
I think they've already fulfilled their role, and it's about time that the Simpsons passed its torch to the next successor.

>>87520015
Well I guess that brings up the question of if the Simpsons are to pass their torch to the next successor, who would that successor be?

>>87519765
I think just a combination of writers being aware they were working on an insanely popular show + realizing fans online sperged out about dumb shit ("worst episode ever" came from a Simpsons newsgroup post about Homer Goes to College), and so eventually they began tuning out any and all criticism of the show even when it started to become accurate. The line about fans "owing" TV shows? Writers? whatever for "hours of free entertainment" from the Poochie episode was like a direct response to pretty valid criticisms that were being made about seasons 7-8.

Combine that with most of the original writers leaving after Season 4, including Sam Simon, who had a huge influence on the show, new writers coming in from like Seasons 5-10 (some of whom really cared about the show, some that didn't and just saw it as a job), and then those new writers either leaving or staying around until the present day. There actually haven't been a ton of new writers in recent years, which could explain why it's stayed pretty stagnant.

Take all that with the fact that it'd be really hard, if not impossible, to tell new, original stories in the same setting with the same cast of characters, but without significantly changing the status quo and also remaining relevant and funny, and it's not really surprising the show declined.

Even like 5 seasons would've been a pretty decent run for an animated sitcom; it's absolutely fucking insane it's going to last 6 times that.

>>87520105
Maybe what the show always needed was a constant change in writers every five-ten seasons? I know that one of the less awful modern episodes, Christmases of Future Past, was written by a guest writer from Futurama and it ended up being pretty decent. Not great, but decent.

So maybe around season 14-16 they should've gotten a new writing cast. Or cancelled the show, either or.

>>87520285
They did have changes in style and tone throughout the first 10 seasons. The latter half had bizarre plots and jokes all over while still maintaining character development and storytelling that anyone could get behind. Nowadays it's just reference spouting and jokes that told with no finesse.

The Simpsons 30 years... South Park 20 years... One Piece 20 years... Detective Conan 20 years... Precure 10 years...
I actually like these names, but this hell should be ended, and let them die in peace.

>>87520061
that's a good one, and it's a pretty big reason why The Simpsons has stayed. Right now it isn't about who can, but who would dare compete against such a giant in TV? and it'll keep being that way until a finale is hinted at (as in "shit, the Simpsons are ending, we need something to replace them, fast").

Even then, it will likely stay relevant for years, sure there won't be anything new out of them, but 650+ episodes is a lot of material to work with reruns.

Perhaps that was for the better.

>>87520061

There is none. Same with Spongebob. That's whywhy neither will end. There's nothing that has been able to outshine them. Rugrats was Nick's huge juggernaut hit but died because Spongebob was bigger. Nick has nothing bigger than Spongebob. Not even The Loud Family has the overall appeal of Spongebob and that's their current new hit. Maybe if they had not declined Adventure Time then Spongebob would be have been replaced by now.

Rick and Morty is the only current adult cartoon I think that has a chance and even then it doesn't hold a flame to Simpsons. It's not as accessible to multiple audiences like The Simpsons was. It's too clearly adult, it's more like the new Futurama than the new Simpsons.

>>87520061

It depends how far in the future he dies, by then something like http://nofilmschool.com/2016/11/adobe-project-voco could have been perfected, so they could take the days worth of audio of his voice they have and make Homer live forever.

Or they could just give him a new voice actor, like Fred Flintstone or Bugs Bunny. Money speaks louder than dignity.

I've watched some Zombie Simpsons and some episodes are actually surprisingly good considering there's nothing new to say or do with the characters or the setup. Others are godawful as they reasonably should be. Some same plots have been recycled dozens of times because in over a quarter of a century of status quo with shallow stereotype characters how couldn't they be.

Still it's amazing there are ever good episodes or funny jokes at all. One with Neil Gaiman in the last few years actually made me laugh.

>>87532082
Really makes you wish that Fox decided to keep Tiny Toons running for 28 years instead of The Simpsons, at least that huge budget can be used to keep TMS (in short no talent wasted) & Startoons (which will keep them in business) on board instead of using the money to have the voice actors tolerate shitty scripts.

>>87518037
Plus regardless of quality, the sheer volume of Simpsons episodes makes it profitable for syndication and streating services.

It's depressing seeing The Simpsons, a show that at one point could be called the greatest show ever made and it wouldn't be that far off, to a show that literally advocated tormenting a child to the point of committing suicide, and continue to do so in the same day, in the name of comedy. Im not even joking bout that, look up The boys of Bummer.

Its more on the principle that a bunch of worthless hacks basically make money to produce something terrible from something that used to be amazing. Has it been good the last few seasons? I don't know, I stopped watching when everyone's eyeballs were popping out randomly in a graphic manner for no real reason. Its not even the fact they ran out of ideas, its what they produce that's just so lazy, patronizing, offensive, or a mixture of the 3. With something as rich filled as The Simpsons, some of the stuff they come up with is simply pathetic. They can still most certainly do good, The movie was actually pretty good. Not great but passable, and that's fine.

Its the same reason Wrestling fags get mad at WWE. They have all they need to make something amazing, but make some of the most heinous, idiotic, boring and abhorrent shit ever produced for a TV screen.

How big is the current writing staff? I remember it being 5-8 in the first 8 seasons or so. Then after listening to the dvd commentaries they said they need 2 rooms for 15-20 writers. And that was in the season 12 commentary.

>How I Spent My Strummer Vacation was named after the Tiny Toons DTV movie How I Spent My Vacation.
>The Terror Of Tiny Toon is self explanatory.
>The Front's plot was based on Buster & Babs Go Hawaiian where (a) fan(s) make their own eposode(s).

It can't be fewer or "too few", that's for sure.
It's all humor-by-committee now, and I bet that committee is pretty big.

There's a Simpsons land at Universal Studios.

after looking it up, I have to say, that series' creator was a moron

>>87534471
Explain.

I can't speak for Conan that much, but One Piece has it's plot and ending completely planned out.

>>87534582
Conan has also done the same since 2012.

>>87534590
Do you have a rough estimate of when you think it'll end?

>in the German dub both Marge and Homer's VA died a while ago already
>they simply replaced them

This madness just keeps on spiraling down.

Whenever Japanese law forces Japanese studios to pay as much as their American counterparts, they just pass a law that women have to get paid the same amount of money as men in September so they can't use cheep business men's wife labor anymore so we're getting there.

>>87534647
This only matters for English.

>>87534647
Yeah
They should have just stopped dubbing the show entirely

>>87534713
Germany still has a fan base however.

Does anyone even still watch the Simpsons anymore? It's nowhere near as prominent as it used to be even five years ago.

Has it gotten to the point where Simpsons episodes are so cheap to produce that it costs the network almost nothing to air them now?

>>87513629
Dude, it's been renewed til its 30th season, it won't end anytime soon

>>87519765

A combination of just being on the air too long, pop culture changes, the original fanbase growing up and tuning out, and staff changes including Matt Groening stepping away.

MONKEY PAW: It gets replaced by a Heathcliff animated series.

Simpson was funny when it broke political correctness, because PC was a conservative thing.

Now PC is a liberal thing, Groening fully endorses it and it's no longer funny.

The last good season was season 12.

By season 16, the decline has been too big to not notice

>>87535639
Large Marge and The Movie will like to have a word with you.

It got dull by season 19, but it never got bad.

>>87521465
That episode was fine

>>87535639
Seasons 20 to 28>Seasons 11 to 19

>>87535688
Large Marge says otherwise.

>>87535688
Bart season 1-10: typical troubled pre-teen, likes wrestling, violence, hates girls like every pre-teen

Bart season 20- now: teenager with raging boners .... despite still being 10

either Matt Groening makes his characters grow in age, thus they can deal with ''teens'' issues or he sticks to what they are

>but I have run out of crazy stuff for Bart's to do

it is actually pretty bad

>>87520061
I used to think bobs burgers but I can't believe it's in it's 6th season. I feel like it hasn't really caught on

>>87535923
>Bart season 20- now: teenager with raging boners
This isnt true though, outside probably 6 or so episodes. That definitely sounds like a teen season thing

>>87522589
Barely. The Comedy Central seasons are so shit
>devils hands>>>>>>>the actual ending

>>87535954
crazy biracial girlfriend
pregnant teen girlfriend
ultra religious girlfriend
Cletus' daughter
Jimbo's girlfriend
also chasing the Russian piano player


while in the first decade he had the neighbour and Jessica Lovejoy
in the second he had Rainer's daughter

in a few seasons he has more than doubled his romantic interests while he used to be disgusted at the idea of Milhouse and his gf kissing
the fuck

i think at this point they will just try to go for as long as possible. Not because of the money, which certainly is a good motivation, but just to see if they can do it.

>>87535954
The CC episodes started rough and then hit its stride, and then it ended fine. Plus, Meanwhile is still the second best series finale out of 4.

>Cletus' daughter
That started in the teen seasons though, I thought. Pretty sure they had more too, like the girl in Wandering Juvie.

Also
>pregnant teen girlfriend
w-who is this?

>>87536154
some slut that got knocked up by a Norwegian student exchange, he left and she tried to marry Bart and actually had convinced him
http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Darcy

can't believe Groening almost turned Bart into a cuck

for the record I haven't watched past season 22-23 as those were bad enough

even Sideshow Bob has been ruined since ''Italian Bob'' and he's one of the characters I enjoy the most when I watch old episodes

>>87535954
We have debunked this more then once you know.

>>87513992
I really dont see why people act like The Simpsons going on some more is a crime against humanity.

Like yeah, the Simpsons arent in their golden years anymore, but after watching the newer episodes I can honestly say it isnt even that bad. its nothing amazing, but it is something I can see people tuning into because its a comfort show, like most sitcoms.

The fact that The Simpsons is known for god tier writing makes it more than the average sitcom, so I get the outrage at first, but by now theyre just continuing until they get their world record for most episodes in a series ever and probably quiting soon after.

Seriously, the people who bitch about the show need to get over it. Yeah, people still watch the show. It shouldnt really bother you. The fact that its still going shouldnt bother you. you arent going to watch it anywy, so just shut the fuck up.

>>87513992
>I've not seen a single person reference the show past Season 12 ONCE.
That's because in the Early Days™ Simpsons WAS pop culture, and so was referenced. Now, it just goes "Hey look, it's a pop culture reference that stopped being relevant ages ago"

>WHO THE HELL IS WATCHING THE SIMPSONS?
I do, because it's routine at this point. I may have had a chuckle or two occasionally, but mostly I don't laugh.

>>87522777
Nice full house.

I like the idea but you just know the government's going to shut it the fuck down.

>it becomes a thing

>any politician running will use it to make their opponent just say "kike" and "nigger" over and over overlayed with some crappily-taken hidden video
