The Simpsons

Not really sure what you're on about here. The panda rape episode is far and away the worst episode in the history of a show renowned for decades of mediocrity, and the lady gaga episode was the show unironically becoming the exact thing it had been created to satirize. I don't need to keep putting shit in my mouth to remind myself that it tastes like shit.

But against my better judgement I did exactly that last year, gave the Simpsons a try again. Wasn't 34 but somewhere in the early 30s, and it was the same mediocre garbage it had been for those aforementioned decades. Sorry that my giving them another chance didn't coincide with the brief moment of success that they'll undoubtedly fail to recreate in season 35.

I never said that the show didn't suck for a long time. You understand what a "comeback" is?

Season 33 was the start of the good shit. Wouldn't be surprised if a random season 30-32 episode really blew.

Lisa is definitely the worst character tho lol I agree. Lisa episodes still blow.

I do. New Treehouse of Horrors was last week, was decent. Rest of this season has been so-so so far tho. Last season had some pretty good episodes. Particularly episode 2 from last season was gnarly.

Er, episode 3 i mean. Title is Lisa the Boy Scout but the episode is actually kind of like a cross between 22 Short Films About Springfield and Rick & Morty's Interdimensional Cable. Some good fan service for long time fans in some of the clips.

Other good episodes from recent seasons... Show has gotten better the last few years in general. Still not as good as the early days but definitely better than it was for those 20 years in the middle.
