I watched MODERN SIMPSONS... And this is what happened 

I think the newest episodes are the best episodes I do get them recorded from TV but I erase any episode that is older than like 2007.

very well made clip, so good to see Moe find happiness

THEY DONT!?

@@Klonoahedgehog Not always, it seems. Likely because more commercial time has crept in now and they need more time for the episode.

@@RocStarr913 What a fucking joke.

WUT

The last good one was the Rick & Morty couch gag.

yeah. and worst of all. Apu's nephew. he was so young in a 90s episode, then he grew to his 20s.

@@SeyaDiakite7 Really? I guess I dipped before that happened lol

@@TheRealBlackarrot I stopped watching the show during the 2010s. Starting from 89

@@SeyaDiakite7 same here

You know, I keep telling myself it's only a cartoon and not let it bother me, but that is one detail I found really annoying.😅

Characters are called side characters for a reason

For real... it's very idiotic.

As a millennial this hits me. I grew up identifying with Bart and now I have identify with Homer. Also with them being boomers somehow The Simpsons were considered almost poor. And if they're millennials now to me they're rich.

They were sort of depicted as Millennials in a more recent flash-back episode where Marge was part of a high school play about Y2K. And yes, it was as bad as you're imagining.

@@david_walker_esq 🤢 🤮

I always found it weird that they did not let them age, it didn't need to be every year but why not 1 year every 5 seasons? I have the same problem with Bobs burgers although that one is still a delight .

@@justcurious3653 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the floating timeline was an overused cliche in animation.

yeah i never go past season 8. After that its bad

Yep really no show ( regardless of type) should last longer than 10 seasons. South Park seems too be the exception too the rule and Bob's Burgers quality has remarkably held up despite being in its 12th season.

@@alexandru5369 South Park has gone downhill during the 20th season though.

I'd say the show stayed pretty good until around the death of Phil Hartman, whose final appearance was early on in Season 10. S10, while the decline in quality is apparent, was the last season where I think there was more good than bad.

and funny thing is that in the behind the laughter episode, homer says to the mixing guy " this is the last season we're making" and he nods, an inside joke that should have been a warning to end it all when it was still fun

Absolutely! That was the thing I've been thinking for YEARS! They would've tried with a two-part episode to see how that worked...but I fully agree with your whole comment.

That would be cool. Make Maggie a more central character as growing up in a new era.

No they needed to stay on form and not copy Family Guy

I think that’s a good solution, but look at King of the Hill and Bob’s Burgers. Those shows are known for their quality and consistency and hardly anything changes in them. There are character shake-ups in those shows, KOTH in particular has people aging up, characters dying, relationships ending or starting, but overall, things don’t change too much in those shows.

Simplest Simpsons Solution. Only watch the earlier series. Forget the new one's, it's notwithstanding the test of time. Think about it like this. 'If it were a car, it would now be a collectable antique type'! The former writers have moved on. SIMPSONS is over, apart from the previous old series.

True I was 9 when the show started same as Bart I am 41 now lol.

Ikr! That would be pretty cool tbh

In a world of everyone growing up in the Simpsons, what would the fate of Barney be? Bearing in mind that the liver is the most forgiving organ in the body, would he have qualified for a transplant, been in and outta rehabilitation or be DEAD? I know that's dark, but isn't that the truth, no?

There have been future episodes like that. And I think that issue has been acknowledged at points.

True

@@disneyboy3030 the fact that the Future episodes are siloed off, contradict each other, and have no actual bearing on the rest of the story is, in fact, exactly why I said this. The Future episodes clearly belie a desire on the writers’ part to do MORE with the characters (even if it’s just a costume change in the near-future segments), so the imminent reset button they always have leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The first 3 Future episodes were some of my most rewatched home tapings of the show, but it was always bittersweet because I knew none of it “really counted” for the characters. “What if time actually passed?” as an episode conceit just calls extra attention to the problems with the floating setup. Other sitcoms dealt with the characters growing up just fine, without disturbing their setup too much as to become unrecognisable - The Simpsons should have done it too. Lisa and/or Bart would’ve had their own kids about 10 seasons ago and kept the wheel turning, we wouldn’t have lost any archetypes to tell the stories with. Kids who watch the show today could even look back on the earlier episodes and have a moment of their minds blowing as The Father was once The Son, and it _actually happened_ and _actually mattered_ rather than simply being speculative.

The thing with voice actors is that they could get replaced if they really wanted to continue the show.

The second longest-running cartoon ended earlier this year - Arthur (25 years). And they did it nicely, coming full circle to the first episode. The Simpsons' time will come eventually, and I'm sure they could to the same with the final scene being driving to the Christmas pageant.

That is depressing but if they enjoying making episodes let them do it ! It's been on way too long, It should be rebooted to current day since it came out. What if the entire time all the episodes that are based in the same timeline but change things around episodes to seasons, what if it was Honer in a cryogenic pod or life pod like in the Fallout games. The entire running time of all the episodes was a duration Homer was in a pod dreaming of better times and could manipulate his environment. Like meeting constant celebrities. Be a plot twist that could be lazy writing or something more

60s and 70s aren't *that* old nowadays, not "god knows how much longer we have with them" old at any rate, but enough is definitely enough. Let poor Julie Kavner rest her damn voice.

I'm purely guessing, but it's possible that most viewers of the Simpsons (ie more than half) watch dubbed versions. To them, what happens to the English voices isn't important. And to the Anglosphere, a voice actor can be replaced without too much upset. They could probably find people who sound more like 90s Simpsons than the current actors do!

What seasons are the golden age of Simpson’s?

@@Jarod-te2bi 1-8

@@Jarod-te2bi 3-9

you got up to 2005?

@@Jarod-te2bi 2-8. Season Two is a little shaky, but has episodes like Lisa's Substitute and Three Men and a Comic Book that are undeniable classics. And I still remember the day the first episode of Season Nine (The City of New York vs Homer Simpson) premiered, recognizing unmistakably that the show had become something else.

Trey and Matt said 'South Park' will most likely end around Season 30, or at least by the time they reach their 60s. They still enjoy writing, voicing and editing new episodes.

Japanese anime already beat them to it 🤣🤣🤣 Sazae-san has 7701 episodes!!!

Lmao have you seen anime? the simpsons will have to sit in its place

@@guileniam I'm obviously talking about american animation here lol but you're right

​@JishinimaTidehoshi another example of quantity over quality

Completely agree. Futurama is still my favourite animated sitcom for this very reason! :)

It started that way and then just became a sitcom whereas *Futurama* started as a sitcom.

Really, Futrama was an overarching storyline? I mean sure it references past events, but... I don’t know, things didn’t really experience changes until maybe the movie season, but defiantly the reboot series... And some people didn’t even like that apparently. I just don’t see it.

@@hiddenflare6169 it was a love story between Fry and Leela, they meet, become friends, get together.

Futurama had very little but always welcome character development, Not only the dynamic between Fry and Leela change trough the episodes, every few episodes a new change was introduced in the show experimenting with how the characters would react to the new events. While The simpsons have done this several times, it never really did to the main characters beyond the first season, maybe second if the writers remember Homer Heart condition. Granpa is still alive. They still have the same cat despite the family often mentioning how often their cats die. Homer is still at 7 G. Apu had more character development than the main family trough the episodes.

I suppose, but most of what was funny then is unacceptable today

@@andrewhogan6533 I don’t know about that. When I think back to some of my all time funniest Simpsons moments (Land of Chocolate, Boo-urns, Only WHO can prevent forest fires? Everything’s coming up Milhouse! See you in Hell candy boys… I could literally go on and on and on) I don’t see much that wouldn’t fly today. Modern Family Guy is way more “un-PC” than classic Simpsons ever was.

Definitely.

Futurama isn't as funny. King of the Hill was a better successor.

I beg to differ. A lot of the jokes are more subtle and go over your head. It has heart though. Some episodes are surprisingly emotional .

@@urbanyouths Matt Groening didn’t make King of the Hill

@@audiovisualcringe As in the better FOX cartoon other than The Simpsons.

No. That wouldn’t work at all.

Let's hope! His character does feel very "off" in some of the later episodes.

I really liked his last line in Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind from season 19 when Marge asks if he's gonna drink. And he simply says "No, I want to remember this moment." Gets me every time.

Homer in new episodes is almost always nothing but a gigantic asshole, and that's one of the reasons I stopped watching. One of many.

For me it was the episode where they killed off Maude. They turned Homer into a total psychopath. They could've done it so many better ways. Why ruin Homer's character like that?

For me I think it was the lady gaga episode

It was the nsync episode for me. I remember as a kid feeling bored and it being totally unlike the simpsons i loved

I COMPLETELY AGREE- the fake Skinner episode is sooo stupid! Plus the episode when Homer is in college and gets into grunge when we all know that Homer was raised in the 60's-70's...

You read that opinion from Reddit and made it personal. Caring about the Principal and the Pauper is autistic as fuck.

Remember when they predicted the Trump presidency? Oh how could we forget.

@@Nightweaver1 I apologize if you're being sarcastic but there's a good video on RU-vid that show's how that actually never happened. It was a segment in a short that happened after Donald started talking about running for president. I think it was Big Joel, but I could be wrong.

Like professor farnsworths what if machine.

Actually they did predict Trump, but people always play the wrong clip. It was just a small line in an episode.

@@rmj8905 I think I know the line you mean, the recession after President Trump line? It's the episode were Lisa is president, Bart is a Beach bum and Millhouse is Vice President or something.

@@KevinLuper99 Blah, blah, blah, blabbity blah-blah?! 🤣

That and they don't age them. If they aged them from the beginning slowly it would mean still having character focused episodes instead of running out of material since everything has been done to death

Huh that’s something i never considered before

It's not just that. It's also the fact that the show has come to rely on abstract craziness instead of relatable situations.

This is consequence of how they deal with the writing staff now. Before they had a consistent writing staff with an ocassional guest and the episodes were worked on by the entire staff. But recent seasons are written by a single writer, and clearly there is no proofreading of some of the jokes. Because, some of them fail miserably.

it only produces cringe, nothing is funny because of moment but because they think that saying "oh marge you have toy soldier in your hair" is funny. if you find that funny, then no wonder they keep making shit like that

Also, most of the stories I've seen feel like boring retreads.

i agree I don't think its something thats terrible i mean not enough to waste time writing a whole paragraph on why its bad on yt haha but its ok and if its on its on

@@Zontar82 haha! It's funny because a toy soldier shouldn't be in a person's hair 🤣🤣 it should be in a child's toy box rofl 😂😂😂

I wish, even really bad fanfiction can be entertaining. Modern Simpsons is just a flatline of nothingness.

What about the movie? I thought that was pretty good.

More like after 1998.

They did an episode to start Season 33 where they got a singer to sing Marges lines for the parts of the episode where she sings which was even more distracting. I'd rather have it be terrible and hard to listen to then straight up changing the voice actress for several scenes.

Doing the Marge voice had definitely messed up her vocal cords

So true

It would be an interesting dynamic, but I don’t know if many would be interested. I mean I’ve got to give credit where credit is due for these fan suggestions.

It's time for your to shuddup!

@@dionst.michael1482 Tf XD okay? Are you okay?

I can help the show by finding new ways to make fun of modern American society. It will be hard, but still a much easier and better to keep the show alive than ruining your character when you are out of ideas, because Flanders' Ladder is my least favorite The Simpsons episode of all time. Worst. Episode. Ever!

Simpsons say they don't care. Simpsons say they're already rich.

I made it 3 episodes into season 29 (I hadn't sat through a whole season since 18ish) - it's nigh impossible.

Write a letter to them about it. I am not being mean I am just saying that.

1000% agree

I side with folks like you.

The Simpsons & Family Guy are awful now, and even South Park is going downhill. They just don't know when to quit.

@@SpareSomeChange8080 Either way, I'm still watching South Park and the last season had me laughing so I'm happy. Like I said, there ate a lot of Simpsons and Family Guy followers who won't "quit" on their shows.

Not true, he loves his family still, is just that nowadays Homer's regular behavior is of a bad parent whereas in the 90's they saw that more as normal. But I have yet to see an episode where Homer hates his family and the ones I can think are closer to the golden era.
