>>92181270

Its true. Its listed as "returning" in a bunch of places.

This shazam show looks worse than the instagram show from last season

>>92181341

The writers are out of ideas.
That's all there is to it.

If only Logan was there, it'd be all of her nemesises

>>92181334
out of 10?
>>92181410
the ideas had all been done before these writers were born

>>92181393
>instagram show

what

>>92181410
I wonder if making the children age would have given them some new ideas.

>>92181499
I haven't watched Simpsons in years but I remember they had Bart and Lisa acting much older than 8 and 10.

>>92181499
Perhaps, but I guess we'll never know.

>>92181499
Probably not, they already did shit like "Bart runs off to marry a teen that his parents think he knocked up" and several dozen "Lisa worries about getting into college" plots.

>>92181556
I like to pretend that certain episode have them be younger or older.

>>92181483
what IS instagram anyway

>>92181499
i think so.
i promise you guys if i ever do a show, my characters will age.
not 1:1 but either 1:2 or 1:3 year ratio

>>92181499
Nah, they'd be the same just older. You need a shift in their actual dynamic to spur ideas like that, such as Tina and Jimmy Jr. actually dating, which technically has happened and provided a few episodes, although it's still pretty much the same dynamic.

This episode's not bad because the concept is good and it includes a lot of the side characters, but the execution isn't amazing so far. I mean, Gene's story was ok, but could have been better.

>>92181559
We had episodes that take place in the future, like Barthood. Some of them were actually really good.

I think it would also help, since teens are so uncommon in this show, outside of a handful of minor characters.

criminy

>>92181709
agreed, something about the execution isnt quite here. I think they wasted too much time on the bob's camera story (which still felt rushed) so the stories dont have enough time.
>>92181719
2 were good, 2 were okay, the rest were godawful

also i love how Alien + Freaky Friday = something that feels like an Adventure Time episode

haha, homer confused march for may

>>92181880
It's hard to smush all this in 22 minutes, for sure. But I think it's just that they're focusing more on telling the stories and getting them done and not necessarily on dialogue that makes it funny during. Conceptually it's good, but you still need good lines to tie it all together.

>it's another "Marge and Homer have marriage troubles" episodes

>>92180321
and people have the gall to whine about the odd Gil episode. hell, I'll take a Mexican bee guy episode over this shit for the billionth time.

>>92182138
he's been that way for a while but it's just shearer getting lazy and/or smithers sort of becoming less of a distinct character. his difficult voices (otto, etc) are still fine.

>>92182100
Listening to it is as painful as it must be to still do it.

What? No. The only good future episode is Lisa's Wedding. The rest are terrible.

They explained the Midge joke because they're out of ideas.

>Knocked her up right out of high school

That's always bugged me since that'd make Homer and Marge late '20s.

>It's a "Moe calls Marge Midge" episode

Oh shit, they actually acknowledged it

>Moe can actually say Marge
What the PFARGTL?

MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS

>>92181586
some actual continuity would've been nice in the simpsons. hell, even family guy has more. sick of all these one-offs featuring characters we never see again, yet are expected to care about for some reason.

If this Nigel guy doesn't suffer I'm gonna be really...disgruntled.

>my TV comes with a zoom function

honestly i'd rather we get back the 50s technique of just integrating the product into the show. if the advertisers are going to basically dictate to the show what kind of content it's allowed instead of both the show and the sponsor just bowing to the forces of capitalism like they ought, then we might as fucking well just have Homer stop to tell us how great t-mobile is

I miss The Simpsons

>>92182100
it was always that way.

>>92182268
which is fine when the show started out
the problem is their target audience kept aging, so they aged homer and marge with them
but the target audience also started having kids later and later, so they didnt age the kids

>hearing Flanders explaining the joke Homer just said

>communion wine

Flanders' Catholic?

oh god i actually just laughed out loud at Wiggum
that's one good joke so far

SOUTH PARK DID IT

Theres that asswipe Paul McCartney.

>>92182363
I have good news. it's still on.

anyone else see marge in the mirror there and thought it was Lisa
her hair looks... sort of nice, but sort of not

.. holy shit is he dating a Jyourougumo?

>Teenage Marge sounds older than current Marge

JUST

>>92182433
lovejoy's church is catholic whenever it makes the joke funnier, such as "mass dismissed"

hasnt smithers already been used as a gambling chip unsuccessfully? theyre ripping off the BAD era now

also why is moe so tall when he's bent at the shoulders like that

IT'S BECAUSE I'M JEWISH

are they in capital city?

springfield was never this urban

At this point they should just hire Kevin Michael Richardson for good.

Ha, Moe's dancing.

we did though, we're now in the worse era

>>92182689
I actually kind of meant they're ripping off the current era
Like they're repeating themselves from an episode less than 5-6 years ago. But honestly I don't remember when that episode was, or what happened. I just know Smithers' new boss was a jerk and he was happy to leave him and go back to Burns at the end

>>92182743

The new boss was Dick Cheney, I think. Although different circumstances.

Hate all the abrupt scene cuts and botched pacing

Member "Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear"?

>>92182271
>>92182258

Midge and Marge are the same deal as Jack and John or Rick and Dick.

>>92182410

Homer was thirty-six even back in the first few seasons.

Are we genuinely supposed to believe Homer and Marge are still in love?

Okay, you get points for that Shining joke.

>>92182410
it never made sense though because Marge and Homer have never been 29 in the show, the youngest I think Homer has been was 34 in season 1, which means Bart was born in 1979, assuming they still graduated in 1974. but if marge was knocked up right after high school, he'd be born in 1975, making him 14 in 1989 instead of 10

well, at least they remembered their song

>>92182902

>>92182867
Are we genuinely supposed to believe that the Simpsons is still funny?

>>92182710
>implying past 19 it suddenly got good again

you can't meme me, friend. I've been watching more recent seasons. it's awful.

>>92182867

I can buy Homer being in love with Marge a lot more than I can Marge with him.

>>92182922

Right, right, Shinning...

>>92182776
Hmm okay so it was definitely in the shitty middle era of the simpsons, not the slightly-better most recent era.

>>92182361
Man, if they ever repeal the laws that stop that shit we could get Gundam Build Fighters here on Toonami so I'm in full agreement.

>>92182831
seriously was godawful pacing.
>>92182864
but jack is a completely different name from john. different roots and everything.
>>92182908
yeah they were 28 when it started.

>>92182867
I wish they just killed off marge.

Hm. Can't say I cared for that one. Bleh.

And now Fox is over for the week. What to do now...

>>92182945
it didnt get good again, but it got -okay- again, peppered with good here and there.
>>92183049
oh god dont remind me, we have those insane 'advertising is bad for kids' laws. i actually hear people believing that shit. i want to slaughter them

>>92183072
>but jack is a completely different name from john. different roots and everything.

It's also used as a diminutive form of John though. That's why JFK was called Jack Kennedy.

>>92183165
it's not my fault people around me suck and i get mad at it instead of just 'getting with the times' and pretending it's okay.

also i'm pretty sure a poultroon is a fat woman

>>92183072
>yeah they were 28 when it started.

Homer was 36 in Season 1

>>92183162
what do they call JFK now?

>>92183112
no.
it always had the odd diamond in the rough, (especially considering the self contained shallow nature of the show) but past about 10 there was no point in continuing since it didn't continue to evolve or do anything interesting with the world or its characters. anyway, splitting a show into seasons like that is silly and doesn't make any sense. I can think of several classic episodes that are terrible.

>Meh.

>>92183208
>it's not my fault people around me suck and i get mad at it instead of just 'getting with the times' and pretending it's okay.


I'm pretty sure that IS your fault. You can't control the world, just your reaction to it, and your reaction is unhealthy.

>>92183217

JFK. Well, that or Deceased.

What I really meant thought was that Jack was his nickname while alive.
