The Simpsons (Fox) TV Show • Page 38

Holy shit I obsessed over that book as a kid. No wonder I have vivid memories of the 90s run

 

Man S1 stinks haha. 2 steps it up a notch but theres still the weird awkward pauses

 

The first 2 seasons are rough watches. Even as a kid id always groan when they'd play one during weeknights reruns.

But they're stepping stones in creating the Springfield universe so I get it

 

the original Walter Matthau Homer voice is so jarring haha

 

Let's all go for some frosty milkshakes!

 

As a kid I liked season one. Mostly because it was the first DVD box set I ever owned so I had it on repeat

 

Season One of Seinfeld and The Simpsons are both really awkward rough drafts of what they would become.

 

They used to air shows that weren’t fully formed yet that would eventually find their audiences and grow into something great.

Now it seems if you don’t knock it out of the park in season one you are done

 

The Office changed significantly as well, but in the wrong direction.

 

it may not be the best episode but my favorite episode is Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment

also S1 and 2 are fine

Bart Gets an F, Dancin' Homer, Dead Putting Society, Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Three Men and a Comic Book ???

all great episodes

 

Those are all S2

 

i kno hah - but i do enjoy S1 for what it is

 

I think that's a top ten episode for me

 

S2 is full of great episodes, S1 is full of great moments

 

Ha, I was watching some S1 the other night and thought it was better than I remembered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do have a lot of nostalgia for them still though, I recognise the show doesn't really find itself for another year or two.

My view of the show that I've seen:

S1-2: The Rough draft
S3-8: One of the best tv shows you will ever see in your entire life, if not the best
S9-13: Still pretty good. However, there are lots of bad episodes
S14: I think this is where I tapped out when it was airing, as well as this Disney+ rewatch I've been on

In nearly two decades since S14 I think I would only tune in to episodes that I heard were really good. Stuff like "Holidays of Future Passed" (which holy shit, aired 10 years ago now)

I'm always open to finding other gems in the later years

 

Start around s18 and definitely s19. Coming to homerica is a top 20 episode for me.

 

Season 15 is the best post-classic IMO, some solid episodes in there.

16, 19, & 20 are pretty good, definitely have a couple stinkers in each season though.

21+, mileage varies, each season has a couple solid eps.

Has anyone actually seen every episode?

 

I consider myself a huge fan and I have definitely watched less than 50% of all episodes made

 

I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode, but it's possibly I've missed a few in 30-32 because I don't exactly seek them out anymore.

 

even a lot of the classic episodes I've seen through osmosis, but I think if you watch like 10-20 episodes 50 times that counts as seeing them all
