The Simpsons (Fox) TV Show • Page 12

Wonder if they'll finally end after 30. That would be a good number to go out on and they'd still be breaking the record

I can't figure out if I actually want that to happen though. I've never experienced life without the Simpsons before

 

Did anyone else think last night's episode was noticeably really good?

 

Yes, it was a Matt Selman ep, which have been characterized with at least decency, haha.

 

I really enjoyed it! I liked how Homer was written and the musical number was fun.

 

Homer's characterization was refreshing, wasn't it?

 

I've watched way too many episodes during this marathon already. These 13 days are going to be wonderful!

 

So I had surgery a week ago and have been just sitting around for a week and discovered the 600 marathon the other day. I've never seen a lot of the Simpsons before but I've been watching so much of the marathon. I'm in love.

 

Sadly by now, it's already passed all the good stuff. Glad I caught a good chunk of it on my time off

 

Just curious, is there a general consensus of what is considered "the good stuff" when it comes to the simpsons?

It's on episode #217 now

 

Seasons four through eight are considered some of the best in all of television. Two, three and nine are awesome as well, though the latter is where we first start seeing chinks in the armor

 

But I give the show until season 16. It gets pretty dire after that, with occasional high points, like Seasons 20 and 25.

Anybody catch the hour long episode that aired about two weeks ago? I thought it was okay

 

Yeah it was alright but there was really no need for it to be an hour imo

 

Season five of the Simpsons is the best season of comedic television. 4-8 are 'peak' peak, extend it to 3-13 being all above average, then yeah, like someone said, 16/17 is when things get really messy.

 

Ohhhhh look who joined the party

 

Season 3 is absolutely in the peak range, and there are certain essential season 1-2 episodes, like Moaning Lisa that solidify the emotional core of the show.

 

Season 2 has got some unbelievably good episodes (illegal cable one, 3-eyed fish one, Bart The Daredevil, the ep with Herb etc.), so from now on I'm personally classing it as peak range!

 

i would says season 2-3 contain some of the best emotional episodes of the series, but IMO season 4 is when prime simpsons starts

 

There isn't a single bad episode in season 3, I'll fight for this for hours

 

Did Herb ever show up again after he invented the baby translator thing?

 

that account is the best on the whole of twitter - so many gems on a daily basis!
