Television Retro Simpsons was so good

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

The first ten seasons of Simpsons was so good. Rewatching this scene again, it's 10 times funnier than the first time I watched it:



Any classic Simpsons episodes or skits you remember being hilarious?

 

[Cole train]

Anything related to moe when he was a criminal and not suicidal guy



Best character imo

 

[bandicoot]

Nothing compares to early Simpsons.

Rodney Dangerfield as Larry Burns is the best.

Too many good scenes to count. I will one day start rewatching from beginning but not to the new episodes. Havent seen a episode in ages but what comes to mind.











Would take hours to even pick out my favorite episodes its just so much content.

I don't remember, I stopped watching around season 6.

But, watched 'em weekly as they aired crew, checking in!

Was fully immersed in that zeitgeist, t-shirt, video games, and all.

Then I started runnin' the streets and chasing skirts.

EDIT: was actually season 7 when I stopped watching, I remember the "who shot Mr. Burns" season 6 cliff hanger and season 7 opener.

Those first 10-12 series were some of the best TV ever made. The satire was spot on and pretty much universal to a lot of the human condition and experiences.

To be honest though the main issue was just that it was SO successful it was able to carry on long after its time had passed, it just naturally ran out of stream losing writters and ideas ending up recycling previous ones increasingly badly.

Before that you could argue it was actually quite unique in that it really had two "primes", when it first appeared it had quite a different style(less joke heavy more drama) and more focus on Bart. Most shows I think would have been content with that, to be a fad which was hot for 2-3 years then dropped off but instead the show shifted its quite significantly and became even better.

Was such a good show in the 90s. And fortunately our local WB affiliate would air an hour of classic episodes every single day in the evening well into the 00s. I still can't decide who my favorite character is all these years later (currently it's Jasper thanks to all the gifs on r/TheSimpsons). And I'm still catching jokes that I missed as a kid all these years later (like Homer in the Cheers bar or spoofing the T1000 from Terminator 2 chasing down Ned's family).

First 10 seasons is GOAT. Anything after that shouldn't be recognized as canon.

I seen the very first Simpsons, it was a short on the Tracy Ullman show.
That's where the idea for the tv show came from.

I watched her show all the time, she was pretty funny to be honest with you.

stickin' together's what good waffles do

 

[zapataxiv]

maybe the GOAT American show

I'd say it's best run is season 2 - season 9 with 4-8 being about the best stuff ever put out
