Subject: The Simpsons

Written By: Rice_Cube on 11/28/06 at 5:14 pm

This is definitely a several decade spanner...which was your favorite season?

My favorite episode is probably the one with the history of the Snake Wacking Day.  Homer flying through the air like a snake-wacking ninja was awesome.

Anyway...carry on, didn't want this board to be too lonely.

I like the one where they get Santa's Little Helper. :)

There was also a steady shift of main characters, taking the focus away from Bart and putting it on Homer.  Is it me or is Homer getting stupider every episode?

i definitely prefer the older ones, but that show never really took off with me. i liked it at first and then i sorta felt like i "got" it, with the clever references and the easy cynicism and all that, and after that it seemed a little repetitive to me. it definitely had its moments though.

I liked the earlier episodes the best...up to about 1993 or so. There are some eps from later than that which I've enjoyed, but it's just not the same these days. :-\\

Regardless of the time frame, however, I get a kick out of Bart's crank calls to Moe's Tavern. :D ;D Hey is Dan there? Last name Druff? Hey...Anita Bath!

I just saw that one for the first time over the weekend. It was also the one where Bart got expelled from Springfield Elementary for running over the superintendent with Groundskeeper Willy's huge lawnmower. Those who've seen that episode probably know that Lisa, Bart, and special guest Barry White :\'( helped avert Wacking Day by making noise outside the Simpsons house to lure the snakes inside. (Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone!)

Recently on the CW, they've repeated some episodes within the last few weeks and I've caught this one about Willy the groundskeeper turning into a Science project for Lisa (a la My Fair Lady style) and then he decides to go back to his old job, instead of posing as a gentleman. There are some really funny moments in that episode. It's one of my faves.

I love the old episodes, my family and I watch one or two every night at dinner, we have the luck of a good FOX affiliate that shows the good episodes.

The new ones are so formulaic, it seems.. it's always Unrelated Plot A causes Plot B, which leads into Plot C, which carries episode. At end of episode, Plot B returns for a brief moment. And it's always either Lisa doing something new, Homer meeting a celebrity or the family going to another country. They've run out of ideas. I miss how common of situations could be approaced in the old ones, and yet it was still very funny.

They also rerun on Fox during weekdays and then the new episodes that run for the show's regular time slot run on Fox on Sundays at 8pm, but I take this as a national time slot and not just a local one.

On a side note...I remember they used to air the new episodes on Thursday nights at 8, from 1990-94. I kinda liked that. :)

Agreed. There are maybe one or two episodes from the past eight years which I kinda liked.

I saw the episdoe "Homerpalooza", which had a cannonball fired at Homer Simpson's stomach for a freak show part of a concert. I found this episode totally unfunny.
