Dog-amoto Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Agreed that the show should have been killed off in 1999. Favourite episode? Dental Plan!! From Last Exit to Springfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Homer finnaly blowing up the power plant, meldown = end of simpsons , or they doa n trueman show, where homer was actually the star of the show and springfield was all fake If they do a Truman Show-style end, that would be an epic fail indeed. What they need to do, is allow the Simpsons to kill Groening for leaving them in an age-fixed universe for over 20 years. Or let Seth McFarlane have a go with writing the show.....

Magnus Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Wikipedia has a list over the longest-running American TV shows. The current leader is Meet the Press at 64 years, if anyone's interested. There's been some good ones! Last year's Christmas episode was good for example. That episode was better than usual, but it doesn't really compare to the actual good episodes of The Simpsons. I read a comparison between the Christmas episode and the episode where Lisa gets married and they made a good point about the jokes being a lot more natural in the latter. Like how Quimby is the taxi driver that drives Lisa and her fiancé home from the airport and we get a few jokes about his situation that way. Meanwhile, in the Christmas episode, Homer and the kids walk off-screen at the Kwik-E-Mart and are suddenly at Burns's mansion, and Homer decides to hurl a rock through a window for no reason (the kids don't react at all). Burns (who must be 150 at this point) yells "release the hounds!" and Smithers pops out from behind a fencepost with a box - I guess he stands there all day? - and pours the remains of the hounds at Homer's feet. Hilarious. But when they produce things like the Lady Gaga episode, the Christmas episode doesn't seem so bad in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I haven't watched Simpsons for sooooo long. I have no idea what it has become just as I grew older I've lost interest in it completely. The last episode I remember actually properly watching when it originally aired was the Ricky Gervais one and now I think he may have done a second? (sure I heard summit about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Watched a fantastic episode from an earlier series with all the short stories from Springfield - the Pulp Fiction bits are genius. "They call 'em...shakes!" And then...just watched an episode from series 23 about Homer befriending a security guard who keeps having ridiculous flashbacks. Didn't even raise a smile. God this show is awful now. Kill it...kill it with fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 With the seasons since the start of the HD production season, when the episodes have been good, they have been good. They went for a while where they stopped relying on guest stars but unfortunately they fell off the wagon. That said, when it's good it is still good, but when it's bad... There was an episode a few years ago which would have been the perfect ending for it. It wasn't the funniest episode but it was touching and would have served well as afinale. It was called "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind". An episode like that as the finale would be grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
