Is the downfall of The Simpsons the most tragic thing in television history?

Replacing Chuck's writing team with Sneed's was the beginning of the end.

Is this video worth watching? Be honest with me OP, my time is valuable.
>>
the fact that they tried to keep it going for so long is quite tragic
we have never had the chance to miss it

what went wrong with the simpsons?
>have group of talented writers
>writers leave after several seasons
>new writers are't talented
>show quality drops
wow mystery solved

when does he think it went down, because I haven't watched it in so long I can barely even remember anything of the show. I feel like it was... 2008? Maybe? that I finally tired of it completely.

There's still a group of people who watch it no matter what because it's been a stable part of their lives for decades. Brand loyalty is a hell of a drug. If Fox cancelled it then they'd have to replace it with something else that would potentially get less viewers and that's risky. There's also merchandise.
>>
>>86371041
I haven't even watched the Simpsons and it's a nice watch
>>
>>86370962
Can't watch that review.
Hyping it up when it's been shit all along.
It's good when you're a child with only 5 channels to choose from.
>>
It's shit because Groening was the strict arbiter of quality. He took his creation very seriously and when he stepped away form the show after butting heads with Brooks over the Critic crossover the stern hand was gone. Then when he poached the writer's room to make Futurama it was the beginning of the end.
>>
>>86371041
yeah

Its not "HELLO RANDOM YOUTBE FAGGOT HERE"

just about the changes in staff and how the Simpsons reflected the rebellious culture of the 90s

way before that, The Principal and the Pauper aired in 1997 believe it or not
>>
>>86371557
To be fair that was one episode, a sign of things to come maybe but it could have just been a black sheep. In my opinion the show becomes legitimately unwatchable from season 13 onwards, with 9 - 12 being the major decline.

>voice actors demand higher and higher pay
>more budget goes to them than the writers
>>
>>86370962
I saw that video yesterday. Pretty good. I'd say the Frank Grimes episode, while it also had plenty of funny jokes, gets to the very essence of what went wrong with The Simpsons.

Originally, Homer was the perfect anti-hero, a Willy Loman of the '80's and '90's and an example of what NOT to be in this day and age. By the time of the Frank Grimes episode, Homer is now seen as the perfect person BECAUSE of his flaws. Everybody loves him even though he only cares about himself. Nothing ever goes wrong for him even though he's stupid, just because he's a TV character. We would all be better people if we aspired to be more like Homer and turned our brains off like everyone else.
>>
>>86371673
did their good writers all leave over pay?
>>
>>86371346
That's because I value you all so much. Each of you mean a lot to me.
>>
>>86371463
that's interesting, I don't really follow this stuff but Futurama in it's original run had consistently great writing while the Simpsons was atrocious in that same time period
>>
>>86371673
You're confusing cause and effect. The decline happened and then the voice actors started demanding more because they're only in it for the money. They don't actually enjoy being part of the show.
>>
Will the downfall of the Simpsons be part of future curricula in college film courses?

Not true at all. Matt has always had very little impact on the writing across all eras of the show.

>Is the downfall of The Simpsons the most tragic thing in television history?
If it had been cancelled 10 years ago it'd be a contender.
But we're well beyond that - it's parasitic/profit seeking longevity have put it in a league of it's own in a way surpassing The Flintstones for ep nos never could.

Been shit since late 90s and still running cos morons don't stop watching it. Surprisies me HBO didn't catch onto this and try to expand GoT to 30 seasons off of The Simpsons example.
>>
>>86370962
The guy talks like he's talking about ancient aliens on history channel. This the truth they don't want you to see!

It's just a tv show that's worse than it used to be and is now used solely for making money. Wow, really tragic story.
>>
>>86370962
I don't know.
I don't care that much even though I thought it was amazing earlier seasons.
In a way I think it is comforting to know that it still is there. Sometimes I see an occasional episode lik the halloween eps.

This. Funnier cartoons have been written since The Simpsons, although it was revolutionary when it was first released.

>FOX almost cancelled the show in 2011 over cast members' high salary demands of $500,000 each per episode
>local syndication revenue drying up as fewer local stations renew their contracts to air episodes, opting for newer sitcoms instead
>cable syndication revenue almost nonexistant as Simpsons's 300,000 viewer average on FXX on weeknights pales in comparison to the 1.5 - 2 million average shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and the Cleveland Show get in reruns on Adult Swim and TBS
>streaming revenue non-existent as it's only able to stream on special "Simpsons-world" app which literally nobody will pay for, as opposed to Family Guy which is still one of the most streamed shows on Netflix
>Family Guy still makes a significant amount of money from each new season's DVD and digital download releases; The Simpsons stopped at Season 17 in 2014 because it wasn't cost effective

It's basically a mini documentary, well written and put together, informative
I'd recommend personally. It's also not a complete pissing on zombie simpsons going on about how shit is; it examines what changed

I probably sound like a shill. I just watched it is all
>>
>>86371225
Brand relevance - keeping it on the air allows merchandise to stay relevant and still be sold (a ten year old kid won't have a futarama lunchbox but it wouldn't be unusual for them to have a simpsons lunchbox)(also think shitty mobile games)
People still watch it despite quality, it's made for relatively very little so advertising makes it a huge profit anyway

I'm not sure it's really worth calling it a tragedy. It is disappointing, but 8 seasons is a good run, a lot better than most. Staying around being milked for cash is unpleasant and there's something about a dignified death but that doesn't mean non-euthanised Simpsons is tragic

Good video but is the VO person a guy or a girl.

No one could pump out that much content that consistently and stay good.

Men built the world, not by trying to change the now but by trying to change the future. Every time I hear someone say "you're too young to remember that", itdeives me mad. First off, you're obscure reference to a little known that show of your wonder years is not "too young" it's just not well known. Second, you're caught up with memes (using this word correctly for once) of the days of yesteryear. It's ok to discuss your favorite parts of our culture but idolizing it is a whole other story. Men discussed the advances of civilaztion and the philosophies of the world, and when this rhetoric reminded them off a passage read in "Don Quioxte", they wouldn't belittle another who hasn't read it or even heard of it, but rather suggest it as a reading. Now our culture revolves around these media's rather then letting them compliment it.

The show changed a bit around that time (8). But I think it wasn't until the show with the jockeys that the show really had turned downwards for real. I think that
was season 12. Could be wrong
>>
>>86371014
>>86371014
you're not entirely wrong

that episode showed how bad the writing was becoming
homer taking a glove and slapping people and inventing tomacco was funny. but then they add stupid Sneed jokes that make no sense

now the show is a drama more than anything

There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.


I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little Sneed thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" feed and seed picture, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a sitcom episode from 20 years ago. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic Sneedfag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "ITT: SIMPSONS JOKES YOU DON'T GET" You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.

I liked it
Anyone who has actually sat down and watched the simpsons in series can come to the same conclusions though.

It basically just reiterates what most fans already think
>>
>>86378066
I think this is merely an effect of living in syndication culture. There is always the new, but regular programming is mostly made up of a collage of the past. Take radio, its more or less a collection of everything since the medium was created. Similarly, most 90s kids grew up on 80s stuff, and the remnants of 80s culture.

Fukken weird to think about fampai

Tony Hawk episode was the real gravestone for me.

Yeah the stuff people normally is post-mortem is not all that bad, or rather there was another huge shift in the level of shiftiness once they started doing the whole celebrity guest appearance shit along with embracing pop culture.

It's why I like LGR so much. He's not monotone nor does he sound like a tool, his excitement sounds genuine and he has a voice that sounds radio worthy. I wish there was a movie/tv reviews equivalent of LGR.

I love Welcome to the Basement though.

Family Guy seasons 1-5 was much funnier than peak Simpsons

The laughs per episode rate was insane.

Real shame Reddit tier South Park made one bitter diss episide then the internet hated Family Guy

Which is sickening considering how lazy South Parks writing is and how they typically just rehash 3 jokes to death per episode

He's wrong on a few things, but the biggest one is missing out that the Frank Grimes episode is the actual beginning of the end. Principal and the Pauper is terrible for obvious reasons, but the rot didn't start there.

Simpsons used to mock pop culture, now they glorify it, the characters are not the same as in classic Simpsons because of lazy writing and lazy jokes.

Total bullshit which is summed up as '80's and 90's aren't the same as 2000s' and 'LMAO THERE IS A SIMPSONS SHOW AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE SIMPSONS SHOW IN THE 90'S LMAO'. I mean the graph he uses (IMDB votes) shows that the peak is Season 6, when most people I've talked to say Season 9.

It's just a long shambling (ironic, huh?) video saying stuff that any 10 year old could work out. Things change, from society to staff. There are very few shows that remain quality regardless of the passage of time and literally one of the criteria for GOAT shows is 'It is timeless'. This is why historical shows often work simply because they're based purely on stuff which has happened and jokes and drama are written around such things. Sadly that's becoming less the case today due to history being altered to not offend demographics, but that's /pol/ stuff.

It's a video not worth your time and is about as insightful or thought provoking as this very post you're reading now.
