note the TV at the end.
good to see Maggies nemesis make an appearance.

Shame it's not still the same show it was 10 seasons ago.

But still, about time!

apart from being HD, it pretty well sums up the awfulness that the simpsons has become in years of late.

It's been more than a decade since The Simpsons was great, I'd say series 8 was probably the last really good one.

I haven't watched The Simpsons is so damn long. Not that I've been avoiding it, I just don't watch TV anymore. Glad to see that it's in HD though, cartoons actually gain a lot from the extra resolution, they almost look like high-quality vector animations.

lately whenever I watch a simpsons episode I am left feeling less intelligent than before I started

Can't believe they've done a new episode nearly every week for 20 years though

and when maggie goes through the check out you can see the numbers....

Can't believe they've done a new episode nearly every week for 20 years though

More like 20~ eps a year. Still a lot though. Simpsons is fairly bad and it has been for years.. family guy is where it's at.

+1 MrHardware... +1.

i rekn season 20 of the simpsons was hilarious, mostly.

I agree that season 8 was the height of their comedy and I have found the last couple of seasons literally painful to watch. But I saw what I think was a new new episode a few weeks ago that was actually funny, could it be that they're finding some funny again? Or did I just get lucky or something.

Also agree that Family Guy is where it's at.

Most of the episodes i've seen here and there of the last few seasons haven't been that great. Maybe a mild funny here and there.

Family guy is alright if you can get over the reliance on irrelevant cut scenes for humor. Not saying they aren't funny, just not everyone's cup of tea. That said, i found the "Surfin' Bird" episode to be quite hilarious.

I reckon The Simpsons has definitely picked up in the last season or two, it's still a bit hit and miss but better than where it was sitting around S11-18. Also, agreed that Season 8 and 9 where at the height of the show. The Frank Grimes ep is still probably my favorite episode.

the one with the monorail was probably my fav, but yeah, haven't watched it in years

too little, too late

finally changed the intro. Its a pretty funny episode.

i just finished gettin the entire sumpsons series, season 1-20.. took f***in forever. I've been watching some of the older ones and there is a fair bit of drug reference in the earlier ones, crack pipes etc.. is pretty funny.

simpsons isnt actually that bad these days apart from the occasional shark jumpingly bad one

looking forward to hd simpsons

and getting a hi def tv

I stopped buying the dvds at season 10, and even that is stretching it. From there its all down hill. Should have quit while ahead.

ps. needs more conan.

It just isn't simpsons anymore. I don't like the new style of animation with all the shadows and stuff. I hated the movie because of it all too. I liked the crude style of the simpsons.

season 11 only just came out on dvd

and I have found the last couple of seasons literally painful to watch.

I find this difficult to believe.

could be time to get your eyes checked

The new stuff is good...stoned. Pretty much sums it up.

Those were the days












And anything with troy mcclure or lionel hutz

and yes i got a bit carried away

Haha, I watched that dental plan clip for like 30 seconds before I realised it was looping.

me 2 :(

was thinking 2.3min was a bit much for dental plan :P

haha so did I when I first found it :)

The latest Futurama on the other hand ... hmm questionable.

Bender's Big Score is the only decent Futurama movie so far, here's hoping Into the Wild Green Yonder is better.

here's hoping Into the Wild Green Yonder is better.

apparently its pretty crap

Simpsons is fairly bad and it has been for years..

it's you...

chicks who read sub-30's demographic 'Womens mags' have a similar thing.. they call it 'The how to achieve an orgasm sealed section'.

sorry jeff.. go find another demographic you leech. wtf were you thinking coming here anyway?

i'd put wild green yonder on par with the last few futurama movies... got heaps of laughs from all of them!

i think bender's game is my fave. but yeah they are all miles better than any season 20 simpsons episode

here's hoping Into the Wild Green Yonder is better.

i thought it was pretty funny. i like futurama, just glad to see they are making more of them. would rather just week by week episodes tho :(

I love the clown college one!!

Honestly you'd think it was the first time some of you had encountered hyperbole as a literary device.

The word "literally" isn't an exaggeration. It's usually used as a way to say "I'm not exaggerating this."

I'm literally angry with rage!

So a "literal hyperbole" is an oxymoron??

i guess it's not oxymoronic to be literally hyperbolic ;p
