For a show that should have ended a long time ago I thought they handled parodying IT into a comedy really well! Almost all the jokes landed which is pretty shocking as someone who's been watching the Simpsons since I was 12, most of the newer episodes are shit to bad.
Does anyone else think they should just stop coming out with seasons and just do Halloween specials?
The one with Marge and Homer in the forest last year was probably the best in a while tbh
The new writers have really brought the show back from the dead
I'll admit it, "super intense kid Chalmers" did get a chuckle out of me.
"I BLAME CANCEL CULTURE" as krusty dies was pretty funny also
I wonder if they grew up watching from when it originally aired?

What happened in it?
Homer and Marge get lost in the woods, won't spoil it, watch it yourself!
I swear someone says this every couple of years about the Simpsons.
It's like the opposite of all those, "Homer does something dumb and threatens their marriage" episode. It's also pretty intense.
A Serious Flanders was also quite good last season.
Even a blind pig finds an acorn
It comes off as astroturfing at this point, always the same pattern, someone cites a single episode as being unusually good, other people turn up to point out there's been lots of good new episodes lately, they've really turned the show around etc
Meanwhile the show is still utter garbage in reality.
Idk what to link, you can watch it for free on TV rn tjo

It may be terrible compared to the great seasons, but it's still average for animated sitcoms right now. That's because of how many truly awful ones there are.
Like, new Simpsons isn't good, but it's not offensively bad like new family guy.
And it’s always a dirty lie.
It is, and I fall for it every time. I come back every season for a few episodes because of some Reddit comment and it’s still the flat, pretentious, and unfunny show it’s been for the past twenty years.
The adaptation of It to the Simpsons universe was clever and well-done, but I didn’t laugh at a single “joke” the entire episode.
Family Guy’s storytelling is shit but you can be guaranteed at least one good laugh per episode.
The same can’t be said for The Simpsons.
My handy guide to The Simpsons:
Here's the reality: every single week millions of people around the world still watch.
I've seen every single damned episode of the show like, multiple times.
So yeah, when you go online, you will see people say "hey, the recent seasons are pretty good". Hell, I'd consider the last season above median in quality. But like, I happily watched season 13, season 22, etc, etc.
Outside of a few offensively bad episodes like Lisa Goes Gaga, I'd happily watch an episode of post season 20 Simpsons over at least 70% of the sitcoms on tv today. And I religiously watch sitcoms, I watch them all the time.
The best nickname in all of basketball is “Super Nintendo chalmers”, former heat player. His real name is Mario Chalmers
I enjoyed it. It was a good parody of Stephen King and not just IT
My favourite from the tree house of horror is when James Earl Jones narrated a segment about the Raven

I don't watch much of the Simpsons but I watched this one. The animation was great! Puts family guy to shame.
I'm unlikely to watch it unfortunately
Was a big fan but difficult to get into If it isn't just randomly on in the background like it was when I was a kid
As someone who has been watching since season 1, but stopped around season 10.. these new seasons are pretty darn good! Good writing, plots, and actually funny. Definitely more adult at times than the past, however.
I started watching this season again after probably 15? years of not really watching it, and it's not bad.
If you thought the it episode was amazing, check out the last couple of seasons. It returned to its former glory tbh
Agreed, they put in a lot of effort.
I like reverse Bart and Lisa. "Lisa, my special little girl!"
Matt Selman has pulled the bar up pretty high on that show.
> every single week millions of people around the world still watch.
i think people only watch cuz its ingrained. but post season ~20 i gave up on the simpsons other than halloween episodes.
bob's burgers kinda filled out what the simpsons used to be imo.
that's because acorns and pigs are both magnetic
I just watched it based off your recommendation and that was one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons ever! I love the Coen brothers and the Fargo tv show so a spoof of them being that well done was just amazing to me.
Every couple of years it does improve. It just degrades again, too.

Been watching since the first episode, the last few seasons have had a lot of gems.
