I thought everyone had a spare 30 minutes at least 1 time in their life to watch the Simpsons
I dunno what it is. I even watched the Simpsons movie where the town is encased in glass. But I just never got around to watching any episodes. It's even on TV like 10 times a day in syndication.
The movie came like 5 years too late. It would have been better if it came out during the Simpsons prime when those writers were really on top of things.
New episodes have wayy too many gags, not enough heart, and the voice acting is just bad.
Just look at the two different openings, the newer HD one is just packed with gag after gag after gag. I didn't really notice it before until I saw this video of both openings.
Look at it this way, if Rodgers had Allstate instead of State Farm, he'd be protected from mayhem like this

It WAS one of the best shows on TV. Looking at it in it's prime puts it in the conversation for greatest of all time. There was this period from like the mid-90s to the very early 2000s where every single episode was pure gold.
City of NY vs. Homer Simpson Homer vs. the 13th Amendment
The Hank Scorpio episode
Gold, Gold, Platinum.
Newer stuff....like the last 8-10 years...is trash. They just sold out and got overpopulated with guest stars.
this is one of you favorite episodes.... shocker!!!

My favorite Simpsons episode was "Lisa's Rival," due to the subplot, where Homer found a bunch of sugar. I can't find the video clip on youtube, but it led up to this quote:
Quote:
Marge: Homer, when are you going to give up this crazy sugar scheme?
Homer: Never, Marge! Never. I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors - oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?"
