The Simpsons Was Always Overrated as Hell.

Seasons 3-12 are fucking awesome

Once it got going, that show was great during this time, maybe even after. Not sure what TS is talkin about.

When Phil Hartman passed away is when I started to watch it less.

That wasn’t the reason why though. That’s just around the time I started losing interest.

Simpsons much better show.

 

[nefti]

a prime simpsons was great because so many great talents worked on that show. Now with so many outlets and shows the talent is spread thinner. Both a blessing and a curse.

Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean it's overrated.

You edgelords! Go back to edging dudes!

It used to be GOAT when me and my friends were in middle school. Around 1998-1999. We used to quote the shit out of it on the way to school.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I agree. Those stoner films with fat jew and guy stuck in the rock are much more cleverer

Simpsons has gone downhill by a LOT but it paved the way for all the other cartoons that came after it. Its not overrated it was a pioneer, there was of course similar shows airing on cable TV but not OTA, and that was what allowed us to have more shows like bobs burgers, futurama etc

I will say that it's GOAT status is a tad overrated. I think it's been equaled, if not surpassed by a few shows. South Park has only barely deteriorated after like what? 20 seasons? It's still funny as hell, and it's only truly bad seasons, are when it first started out. Rick And Morty is as good as anything The Simpsons did. Archer is up there as well.

Simpsons get some OG bonus points obviously, but I do believe if all these shows came out around the same time, The Simpsons wouldn't be the pick of the litter, even during it's peak years.

I completely disagree about South Park, after about season 8, I felt their writing quality dropped off exponentially. Every episode was a social commentary after then and gone were the days of original episodes involving the kids. They've even completely neglected some of their best characters, like Jimbo and Ned.

I think South Park seasons 1-8 are their best work by far.

But yeah, 90's Simpsons is GOAT.

[CargoKing]

What a weird way to tell people you're under 30.

 

[Arkridge]

And ain't no way Arkridge is 23

You're right. 23 and 1/2.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

You're right. 23 and 1/2.

I've got laser-accurate senses for this stuff.
