I looked up the black ones, and I'm surprised how many user reviews IMBD leaves up that are clearly there just to start a fight. "Lisa Goes Gaga" is a 10/10 for you? Fricking really? The actual numbers are probably at least half a point lower if the positive review bombs were dropped.
Curious about the early red ones... >Season 6, Episode 3:
reading The Bridges of Madison County, Marge decides that she and Homer need to teach the kids about romance. Each of the Simpsons (using clips from previous episodes) reminisce about past romantic encounters, leaving them all depressed and believing that love does not work. However, Homer saves the day by pointing out that one relationship has succeeded, his and Marge's.
>Season 9, Episode 11
goes out and rents a western movie to watch with his family on the VCR. However, the movie turns out to be a musical, which disgusts Homer. The family reminds Homer of the past times that he has sung and danced in enjoyment, and soon, the family is singing and dancing themselves. Snake enters the house through a window and threatens the family, but decides they would not be good hostages. The family sings once more, and later, Snake comes back, threatening to kill them for putting an annoying tune in his head, but realizes he is out of ammunition and leaves. The family continues to sing, until Snake returns to kill them, but the family tells him they are finished singing. The episode ends with Marge humming nearby the living room window, causing Snake to shoot through it.

Don't even remember this one, Jesus this show already dropped quite a bit by Season 9.
The show got popular on the initial wave of Bart edginess, their core audience eventually outgrew the show, and the show itself became too sanitized and mass produced to keep up with either the existing audience or a newer younger one.
Every show should be cancelled after 5-7 years, no exceptions. If you want to continue then make a new spinoff that's substantially different enough from the original.
It's annoying how these zombie shows are gradually getting more and more of a defense force online to support their mediocrity. And it's always this cheeky pretentious bullshit like posting a full episode of spongebob with a wacky faces counter to make a point against people who shit on it.
Al Jean as the solo showrunner, from season 13 until the current day. He has literally been in charge of the show for 22 seasons! Every prior showrunner lasted no longer than 4 seasons. It's no wonder the show is the way it is. Mike Scully's run already had issues but Al Jean's reign cemented the show's zombification.
There were also a lot of major figures who left the show.
Brad Bird, who had a major influence on the show's visuals and direction, left after season 8. IMO he's the big one, there was a very noticeable difference in how the show looked and felt after he left.
George Meyer, who headed group rewrites and had a huge impact on the show's comedy, diminished his role after season 6 and left the show in season 17.
Phil Hartman, voice of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz, was murdered by his wife in 1998 (last credit is in season 10).
Sam Simon, who co-developed the show alongside Groening and was also an executive producer and showrunner (season 1-2), left in 1993 (season 4/5).
I've watched a bit of the recent season, and while the animation is noticeably better than the earlier Jean era, and it's not as mean-spirited, the writing is pretty dull. It feels exactly like how you'd expect post-Disney acquisition. It's trying as hard as possible to remind you of classic Simpsons, but comes off as sanitized mediocrity.
Also Marge's voice is atrocious. Julie Kavner is not able to do the role anymore and it's distracting. Easily the worst element of the show.
principal and the pauper being a 7 and being considered regular is a fricking joke. ot to meme that its the worst episode, but its a fricking bad episode
The structure is refreshing after so many stale episodes in the rest of the season.
It's a big fish in a small pond, if it was in earlier seasons it wouldn't get such high praise.
Stagnation.
Didn't there used to be a random green one in the later seasons?
Is anyone going to point out the sneed episode being a 10?
Apparently it is considered one of the best classic episodes.
Sneed is from Season 11, it's not in any way part of the classic era. The episode is okay for the immediate post-classic period, though.

It's an edit.

They're clip shows.

i liked the opening
Reminds me of early 00s Simpsons, funny but not really the same show.
This is one of my favorite gags. Quote it constantly.
Isn't the second one the one with the infamous "have no fear, we've got stories for years" in the end?
Nope it's from "Gump Roast" in season 13.

FOX
What happens when Julie Kavner dies?
Robot Marge?
>Season 11 Episode 5
What went so right?
The subtly of its humor.
small white penis spotted
What changed starting with season 11?
I think that was when status quo changes were hitting, like Maude's death and Barney going sober.
>Sinpson tide isn't great
Shit taste.

Not just Al Jean but Matt Selman came with Season 10, so he's at least been involved with its decline.

Serious question. Why is this show still going? Is it a vehicle for some kind of tax scheme, or money laundering? What's the scam?
Merchandising!
Why the frick is trilogy of error so well perceived?
