The Simpsons

Looking at the list, there are some halfway decent season 12 eps I'd rewatch, although at that point they'd definitely given up on good endings. That year's Treehouse of Horror was good, there's the rock and roll camp one, the one with Lisa trying to save the tree, the one with the kids snowed in at the school, and the one with Homer's hunger strike. The rest of that season was bad.

We should do a series of seasons 1-8 (the canonical "good" seasons) polls.

yeah! totally down with a peak period seasons poll.

it seems a bit underpolled in general, if someone wanted to put together a massive episodes poll then i would certainly be kind enough to contribute a list. and sit in the rollout thread being angry if any post-season 9 episodes appear.

i can't muster enough energy to care about this upcoming character death, for me the break between early simpsons and what's happening now is absolute. more annoyed that there's going to be a futurama crossover episode, somewhat soiling the nice note that futurama went out on.

the one with the kids snowed in at the school

Skinner's Sense of Snow. That one still had it. LOLing to myself right now thinking of "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't But then Was Again."

duffman nooo

Can't believe ep poll hasn't been done. (Side poll should be best Treehouse of Horror vignette.)

"Skinner's Sense of Snow" has "now chew through my ball-sack" which still cracks me up then staggers me that they got away with it

kinda funny that matt groening flipped his lid over the 'critic' crossover (which now seems as classic and beloved as any other episode from that era) but is apparently ok with a 'futurama' crossover. are the 'futurama' characters going to get yellow skins?

and a family guy crossover

my reaction to that is a moe-esque "DEAR GOD NO"

Skinner's Sense of Snow" has "now chew through my ball-sack" which still cracks me up then staggers me that they got away with it

Haha, yes, and my other favorite, "What part of 'di di mau' don't you understand?"

So if I was to put together a poll, would people want one giant Top 25 Episodes poll, or a series of individual season polls where there's one clear winner from each season?

indiviual season polls! and then one big poll of the best of each season poll!

The families become fast friends with Stewie becoming obsessed with Bart and his pranks, while Lisa takes Meg under her wing, determined to find something at which she excels.

Meanwhile Marge and Lois ditch housework for a bonding session and Peter and Homer fight over whose town has the better beer: Quahog's Pawtucket or Springfield's Duff.

Christ they must have stayed up all night with pizzas in the writers room coming up with THAT complex plot.

Archer/Bobs Burgers show you how to do a proper fucking crossover.

kept waiting for it to turn into slash fiction tbh

Season polls it is! I'll get started on the Season 1 poll. What do you think for voting, a week? Two weeks?

A week sounds good.

del toro halloween intro

i haven't watched a new episode of the simpsons since season 10 but i enjoyed that little intro. i watched it without sound for the first 2 minutes and it seemed better than when i turned the sound on

The classic Simpsons are indeed dead and buried! (1:03)

Skinner's Sense of Snow" has "now chew through my ball-sack" which still cracks me up then staggers me that they got away with it

The second-funniest of the FOUR fairly dismal crotch jokes in that episode

Can't remember what the other crotch gags are from that one, but that one earns at least semi-classic status on the strength of The Christmas That Almost Wasn't But Then Was Again and Homer's ranch dressing hose.

old news now but series 26 commissioned

it'd be fantastic if they went all gremlins 2/final series of moonlighting and just tore up the show creatively

Wait wasnt this gonna be the last season or somethign?

nah

fox commissioned 24 and 25 at the same time iirc

Wow, that's small.

That's what she said.

^Joke level the Simpsons has been operating on for a while.

I was just gonna say better than most recent eps!

also,

'H' in Cyrillic means 'N', so "Put it in H!" actually makes sense.

the fuck

cowabunga dood

This can't be happening

a new low for Family Guy

Roy hasn't aged a bit

psyched for this

This appalling show is totally gonna be ruined by teaming up with that appalling show

So glad I finally bailed on The Simpsons.

This is the least-watched season of the show ever, according to the Nielsens.

Groening blew a gasket on "A Star Is Burns," saying the crossover "violates the Simpsons' universe" and demanding that his name be removed from the credits.

But a crossover with the show that had one of the characters raping Marge and murdering the rest of the Simpsons, yeah, no problem there.

That wasn't the Critic episode, was it?
