That’s still like 13 years worth of episodes you actually like
Make some memes of gags from the current episodes.
Challenge level: Impossible.
Yes!
May I see it?
No!
But in other words: Yes!
It’s called seasons 1-9.
King of the Hill is the better show.
valid, a debate worth having.
Family Guy on the other hand…
Surely it’s more like 80% now? No idea though.
Actually, that’s almost exactly right. The writers consider the Golden Age as ending on season 9, episode 2, The Principal and the Pauper. That would basically mean only 8 seasons of Golden Age episodes. Out of 36 seasons, the Golden Age makes up only 22% of the show, leaving 78% of it unwatchable.
Do The Bartman? At this time of year, at this time of day, playing repeatedly in your kitchen?
I didn’t do it
Only a true fan could hate most of something.
Yep. It means you’ve probably been around the longest.
Or you’re Comic Book Guy.
I suppose I am. 2Simpsons4Me.
I forgot to watch the treehouse episodes on Halloween :(
No loss. The last good one was in 2022 with the Death Note and Westworld parodies. One of their best episodes ever, even compared to the golden years.
Speaking of fall in quality, Westworld had so much promise! I didn’t even know if there’s a season 4 because I stopped following anything about it in the news 2 episodes into season 3. I think I could rewatch the first 2 again. But that’s going to have to wait until after DS9 I started a couple days ago.
I’ll actually come in and defend seasons 3&4 of Westworld.
If you were primarily watching it for the Western setting, then yeah - fair enough they won’t be for you as they are set within the ‘real world’.
But if you were enjoying the meta-narrative of human self-destruction via AI - then those last two seasons are truly on-point, even more-so now than when they first screened.
Fair. I think I was just into the setting, although I would’ve loved some more of that samurai setting. Maybe I’ll give it a second shot.
I only ever saw the first season. Maybe I’ll get around to season 2 one day, but sounds like I can just skip the rest! Seems to happen to most shows nowadays.
Holy shit they made a Death Note one??? Righteous
Yes, and it was animated by a studio that assisted with the actual Death Note anime. Western shows parodying anime always have an ugly, super off style, but they went the extra mile and it looks like the real thing! Highly recommend it to any fan of anime in general. It’s Treehouse of Horror XXXIII and the segment is called Death Tome.
A guilty pleasure, sure
I salute the Simpsons for its longevity, but I haven’t watched it in years. If it ever ends in my lifetime, you can be sure I’ll be watching the finale.
I salute Henrietta Lacks for her longevity.
You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it. I don’t like new Pokémon but still am a fan of the first 3 generations. I’m a fan of the office but I don’t watch after season 7.
You don’t have to have blind devotion to something to be a fan of it.
Fan was originally short for fanatic, so it does actually imply blind devotion. Etymologically at least.
You know I will.
Thank god language evolves so that now a fan is someone interested in a thing
It evolved through the years. The actual fanatics who don’t accept any criticism for their favorite show/movie/actor/singer/whatever tend to be labeled as stans. At least IME.
Recently I was wondering if I could apply that reasoning to Game of Thrones. I haven’t watched it since that trainwreck of an ending.
One of the few endings that was so utterly awful it retroactively tainted my perception of the first solid 4-5 seasons.
Probably also the reason the book series will never get finished now :>
It’s such a shame, because it was so fun for a while. It was culturally dominant in a way no fantasy TV show has ever been.
And died so cataclysmically like no other media I’ve ever seen.
Lost was good for a season and a half or so. If they would have kept the story moving instead of filling in fluff just for episodes and longevity, it could have had the same impact.
For me that show ends when the wall falls. The white walkers win, humanity is over.
I like it. The whole thing is a tragedy about bickering over petty human power-struggles while eventually being overtaken by the problem you should have been working together against. Bring Peter Dinklage back in to narrate something to that effect over the scenes of the whitewalkers rampaging. Series sort of salvaged.
So climate change?
Summer is coming.
I have friends who utterly refuse to acknowledge the last episode of Farscape. If it never happens for them, they can assume the adventures go on indefinitely.
Did they watch The Peacekeeper Wars after finishing the show? Because it does help.
There’s a fan edit called Game of Thrones Redeemed. Apparently it fixes that trainwreck into something reasonably satisfying, although I’ve not seen it yet.
That still gives you more episodes to work with than, say, a Firefly fan.
Bruh. Too soon.
Gorram it
Simpsons fans 🤝 Weezer fans
Have they jumped the shark? Sure. Do I still enjoy watching the occasional new episode? Sure.
If the new stuff was any good, wouldn’t there be meme of it?
How about the meme with Homer looking thin and having tons of skin on the back.
While I agree with you, there are just soooo much new Simpson stills that some do happen to make good memes.
And remember, those are from the episodes released so far…
Excuse me one second.
