Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Do you watch every episode, or do you stop at a certain season? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve never quite gotten into The Simpsons myself, but never object to an episode when I randomly come across it.

I know there’s a lot of talk that after x season the show is basically over, but I’m curious what everyone here thinks. Do you watch and enjoy every episode and season? Are there seasons you would skip or stop watching entirely?

Just curious how people here feel about such a long-running show.

i’ve watched them all - and i definitely agree with what seems to be the overall feeling: season 10 starts the decline.

that being said, there are plenty of good and fine ones in the middle 20 (lol) to make the watch decent. i also think the newer seasons (maybe the past 3,4?) have more winners than the shows had for a while.

i think the only episodes that i find truly objectionable are the ones built entirely around either a real-life ‘celebrity’ or have a real life ‘celebrity’ play a character that is pivotal…those episodes i just don’t really watch (few exceptions, of course - i like the 24 spoof with kiefer sutherland and a few more)
