And can you believe it? Dennis the Menace and Charlie Brown never aged either. Heck, Dennis is still continuing even though the creator has long gone the way of the earth!
Now if The Simpsons were more like a soap opera, introducing new characters, introducing new plot threads and twists, tying up old ones in haste, and all the characters aging and moving on to more lucrative careers, then I would love the show again. That sounds like a recipe for hilarity!
I never regularly watched this show.

I don't know about all that, but the Simpsons have had quite a few changes in the status quo over the years.
People died, characters dealt with death, relationships changed, people got divorced. Characters have changed and come back (Homer's brother, sideshow Bob, Marge's prom date)
For the one show on TV that has no need to ever change, I think that's a fair ammount of progress.

I only regularly watched TV as a lad when my morning cartoons were on. At that point, my parents deemed me "too young" for The Simpsons, and my bedtime was always before it came on.
When I got old enough to watch it, I had video games and stuff I'd rather do instead and had pretty much stopped watching TV regularly.
That said, I have seen many episodes of the show.

To be fair to you, I glossed over the word "regularly."
Still, if you have seen many episodes from the glory years (S2-S9), you need to watch them ALL.
NOW.

What is this, an case before the Supreme Court? I don't care if my opinion is uninformed, these are tv shows, not candidates for President. I've seen enough of the Power Rangers to know it is vastly inferior to The Simpsons, and if 99% of the world is also wrong, I don't want to be right.

If you think The Simpsons is a repetitive cartoon not worth your time, there's no point in my trying to convince you otherwise. And honestly, it doesn't matter to me if you like it or not. I don't get paid if you watch it or anything. I just wanted to point out how wrong you were. :p
Simpsons seasons 3-7/8ish are television perfection. The best comedic writing for a show I've ever experienced.
I've tried to watch a new episode here and there, but I just can't get into it.
“Grow up. These are my Disney's movies, not yours.”
Worst. Halloween. Ever.
Okay, I'm beginning to lean the other way now. I could not even watch the first part of that Halloween episode. I remember thinking that Beyond Blunderdome's fart joke in season 11 was the first I had ever seen on The Simpsons and that it was an indication of the show going downhill at that point. Although I did like the rest of that particular episode.
I heard on the radio that one of the segments revolved around Homer farting.
The show was already dead, but apparently they dug it up just to kill it again.
The Dexter/Ned parody seemed promising at least, but I didn't catch the episode.
I saw a clip from the fart episode and I ..... well. Yeah. Speechless.
A Goon in a Gaggle of 'em
There's no point in watching the Halloween episodes anymore. They haven't made a decent one since Season 11.
Proof the Simpsons are still relevant. Holy shit.

Really? Nobody cares that nuclear power plants HAVE in fact created 3-eyed fish?

It's only a matter of time before they reanimate old/classic episodes, Lucas-style.
“Grow up. These are my Disney's movies, not yours.”
It doesn't have anything to do with the thread. The Simpsons will ALWAYS be relevant, but it's the first half of the show's run that holds the relevancy.bkev said:
