mcj metroid Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Agree with most here, except for Caris' 'comment', Simpsons is no where near as good as it was 5+ years ago. Don't bother watching much anymore and definately not looking forward to the film. The trailer just wasn't funny. Totally agreed. The film will be shit i'm just guessing but it looks it so far
motion Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I think most people would find it hard to say that the Simpsons is as good now as it was 5-10 years ago. You know the series just isn't firing anymore when the summary for the 300th episode is: "Chaos fills Springfield after Homer spills coffee on Kent Brockman's lap" - LOL (and not in the good LOL way)
Bluejay Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 24 minutes was o.k, nothing special. South Park's attempt was superior. You Kent Always Say What You Want, however, was quite excellent. Solid plot (from South Park again lol) decent jokes and an overall feeling of an old episode. Best of the Season probably. My Season Order 6>5>8>4>7>3>2>9>1>18>12>15>17>13>11 Haven't seen all of 14 and 16.
mcj metroid Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Homers Enemy The Springfield Files The Homer They Fall are 3 episodes which prove that the simpsons was once a genius show, all 3 of them episodes are wet your pants funny and so clever in there scripting... if u dont remember any of them, then do a google search or buy the boxset just to see them... but just the fact that the team is capable of making episodes like this, leaves me with hope that the team can forget the recent garbage and make the film go back to the good old times... I don't rememeber them by name but i'm guesing the first is the frank grimes one(excellent) and the second is the X-files one(Even better) You are right and great choice of episodes.
nekunando Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Haha those episodes were truly fantastic.. it's about time I saw those ones again!
Ashley Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Simpsons movie RUINED! "Green Day's version of The Simpsons theme, which will come out on July 24, three days before the movie opens on July 27. Green Day also appears in the movie." Source: http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/05/31/green-day-will-perform-simpsons-theme-for-movie-soundtrack/ Well, not ruined, but I wanted to be dramatic. Still, its rubbish.
Slaggis Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 greenday drown in the movie as far as I know? So not so bad after all. But i really do think it looks like it could be great. Old writers back, what looks like a plot full of total randomness. (moon landings, a naked bart, a pig, missles being fired from across america and greenday drowing.) I think (hope) it will turn out good at least. I can't wait for the movie, one of my most anticipated of the summer. (others are transformers, harry potter, shrek the third).
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Ugh, it was only a matter of time before some retard celebrity guests reared their ugly heads. I won't mind if it has excellent writing as well, but over the last few years of the series it seems that guest stars have been put in instead of the writers bothering to make something funny.
Ryan Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I only watch it on Channel 4, stopped watching 'new' episodes on Sky One long before Virgin lost broadcast of it.

Jimbob Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Well, that was a nice bump there. Sticking on topic, the Family Guy/Simpsons cross over episode. Thoughts? (i say thoughts, it's not aired in the UK yet and won't be for a while, but the trailer was out ages ago). And i've also heard rumours of a Simpsons/Futurama cross over as well.

I haven't seen the full episode, only a couple of clips and of what I seen I thought it was very funny. Isn't Futurama dead? I know the same crowd do both, well same creator at least so it would be easier logistically.
Cube Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 And i've also heard rumours of a Simpsons/Futurama cross over as well. Rumour? It airs on the 9th November.
Agent Gibbs Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 If the episode does well i wonder if it will have any affect on them doing more futurama? probably none, despite its popularity execs hate it
Cube Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Isn't Futurama dead? I know the same crowd do both, well same creator at least so it would be easier logistically. Yes, Futurama died in 2003, 2009 and 2013.
Jimbob Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Rumour? It airs on the 9th November. Very nice. Surprising that Futurama isn't still on TV, it's a heck of a lot better than The Simpsons (which is staler than the bread at my house)
Josh64 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 That was crazy reading through the first page, I can't believe The Simpsons Movie was that long ago! Then I remembered how much I was looking forward to it cause it came out just a few days after I'd finished year 11. Crazy. Anyway, cool intro yeah. And I haven't watched the entire Family Guy/Simpsons episode but I really want to. I saw four clips and three were really good, whilst one reminded me why I don't watch Famiy Guy anymore (scene consisted of Homer and Peter drinking petrol, I can't remember why)
Cube Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The crossover episode was decent. First half was good, but the "chicken fight" was mostly boring and way too long (although they did reference one of the best Simpsons moments in it). Reminded me of why I used to watch each show, while at the same time reminding me of why I no longer watch them.
Dog-amoto Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Heard the other day they've renewed the Simpsons for series 27 and 28, taking the number of episodes up to over 600. But they'll be without Harry Shearer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32733873 So that means no Mr Burns, Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders, Jasper, Rev Lovejoy, Dr Hibbert and many more. I've been saying it for years...just let it die!!!
Agent Gibbs Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 It might not be as good as it was but its still better than most television these days, so i don't feel it has to stop That said...effectively a 1/3 of the cast leaves with Shearer...how can they continue? i suspect mega bucks will be offered and he'll be back cynically i believe thats already happened and this is PR
Rummy Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Will they really axe the characters or try to sub in a similar voice if they can find it? Tbh I'm amazed anyone still really cares about the Simpsons, other than catching a bit of it on C4 on occasion I haven't cared for it for years, and I've probably not even seen half of episodes either. It was good in its time but I don't particularly feel it anymore now, just a bit of background noise really.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I have it on in the background now and then and I still laugh at the classic episodes. The newer stuff is pure garbage though. For me, Family Guy was better than the newer Simpson stuff and then when that got a bit rubbish American Dad was there to save the day. Roger is hands down one of the funniest and best characters I have seen in any series. I love him.
Jimbob Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah, let it die now. Take The Simpsons behind the tool shed, and shoot it. Put it out of it's misery, it will be for the best.
BowserBasher Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I've been a fan for more years than I can remember, probably when it first started airing here. I do agree that the latest ones are not as great as the older ones but they still give me a laugh. I don't see how it can really go on without Harry Shearer as he did so many voices which you can't replace. Maybe they should wrap it all up with one last film.
