The Simpsons (Show Discussion)

Discuss it here.

I think its a good show, but it should end soon.

Truly America's favorite family, but unfortunately, less than a handful of episodes are good each season nowadays. I think the end is near for these yellow little guys.

Great show, one of my favourites. Obviously lost its luster lately, though. Still, most episodes have a laugh or two.

Do you guys think it's going down hill?

Yeah, unfortunately. Definitely not what it once was, in a bad way.

That new episode, "Million Dollar Maybe," was pretty good though.

Meh, it was okay. Pretty sweet. Like, in a way, I guess it reminded me of some heartfelt episodes from the first 8 seasons(the Golden Years).

If I were Fox, I would just cancel it. Or end it after Season 21 because it's not getting good ratings at all....

Do you know how many people would riot if Fox were to "just cancel it"? End it properly or don't end it at all.

If so many people will riot, they must be fans. And if there are so many fans, why is it only nabbing around 2 million people every week..hmm?

I'm with terminoob on this one. You can't just end a show like The Simpsons. The ending has to be spectacular.

I do agree, but Fox is wasting the time slot. Why do you keep a show on when it's not getting good ratings? They have to end it well...like really well...ultra spectacular well. But my point is the show isn't getting good ratings and if it wasn't a classic, it probably would've been canceled by now.

Waste a timeslot? Any better ideas of what to put there?

1. Take out The Simpsons and "Animation Domination" will be completely dominated by Seth MacFarlane.
2. Re-runs of Family Guy? Has anyone even laughed at this show since Season 3?
3. Re-runs of The Cleveland Show? Has anyone even laughed at this since Episode 3?
4. Re-runs of American Dad? It's the best show on the line-up, but that's overdoing it.
5. A new live-action show? Has anyone even laughed at one since The War at Home?

Keeping The Simpsons is the best thing Fox can do other than beg and plead to get Futurama back.

They have rights to air South Park, so they could air that at 8.

Or they could move Cleveland Show to 8, and just have Animation Domination go to 9:30. I don't have much of a problem with Seth dominating. And, even though I'm not a fan of either, they could bring back Sit Down, Shut up or King of the Hill.

KING OF THE HILL IS AMAZING >=O

I'm all for reruns of that when The Simpsons is done.

Some people would like more Family Guy or other shows. They have plenty of options by taking the Simpsons out-Futurama, King of the Hill, or South Park. And terminoob, just because you and 70s agree that Family Guy hasn't been as good since Season 3, doesn't mean other people don't enjoy it.

Tell that to the population of Tv.com.

That means you like dumbshit humor. Seriously. It's not funny at all.

Family Guy hasn't been good since Season 1.

Only episode I did like from the later season is 420.

Wumbology wrote:Family Guy hasn't been good since Season 1.

Seasons 2 & 3 were amazing

I love it, one of my all-time favorite shows, but I'm getting really sick of 1-2 good episodes a season, I think it needs to end pretty soon unfortunately

Season 3's my fav

Watching the 13th season (just got it on DVD) lately. It's actually better than 9, 10, 11, and 12.

that70sguy92 wrote:Watching the 13th season (just got it on DVD) lately. It's actually better than 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Season 13 is pretty decent I think

Yeah it's much better than Season 10, 11 and 12 but Season 14 is still my favorite Al Jean era (I'm getting the DVD soon)

Season 13 is probably my favourite post-classic season, followed by seasons 14 and 15.

Here's mine


10 ) Dog Of Death - This is a controversial episode because to many people this episode is one of the weaker episodes of season 3. To me anyway this was great, I love how the first half had nothing to do with the dog and I also liked the ending so funny.

9 ) Lisa the Vegetarian - This episode is hilarious all the way through, I really feel for Lisa (I'm a Vegetarian) It also has a great guest voice PAUL MCCARTNEY!!

8 ) The Springfield Files - Despite never watching "The X Files" this episode is still a top 10 (If I had watched the show then It would have probably be a top 3)

7 ) Flaming Moe's - The first classic this episode is amazing Moe is a great, complex character who always has great stories/ episodes about him (Don't forget the great song and AEROSMITH)

6 ) Homer Alone - All three stories are great and Marge having a breakdown is one of the greatest Simpsons moments

5 ) Lisa's Sax - I love flashback episodes and this one is one of the best. I love seeing how Lisa got her sax and why Bart is such a menace

4 ) 22 Short Films About Springfield - 22 hilarious stories in one amazing season 7 episode

3 ) Trilogy Of Error - As well as supplying a hilarious episode that is very, very clever

2 ) Cape Feare - Sideshow Bob is one of my favourite character's and this episode is a hilarious spoof of "Cape Fear" A classic

1 ) Eternal Moonshine Of The Simpson Mind - Best Episode Ever, Despite beginning a season 19/ Post classic episode it is hilarious, Heart-warming, Clever and there's a lot of character development

I can't pick my top ten favorite so i'll just list my top 8 favorite.

1. Cape Feare

2. Homer's Enemy

3. Homer Badman

4. Trilogy of Error

5. You Only Move Twice

6. Lisa the Vegetarian

7. Treehouse of Horror V

Another honorable mention goes to the episode "Homer's Phobia".

^ Great episodes

After seeing the new trailer for the season premiere, safe to presume it dead.

I watch reruns from time to time.

You're at least 5 seasons late there, bro.

The premiere looks like shit. -.-

Glee? Really? >.>

I agree

Leave Glee out of it. It would have been shit without Glee.

But it's more shitty WITH Glee.

Not really. For most people (including me) it's giving us a reason to watch it.

I like Homer The Whopper better.

Far from it, it has to do with that Comic Book guy getting one of his comic books that he made turned into a movie with Homer being the star but he's too fat. It was an okay episode but nothing special.
