    Having grown up with Simpsons, it makes me sad to see it visualized that Simpsons has been awful much longer then it was actually good.

      A bit sad, yes. However, this image does somewhat validate my decision to stop watching after season 13. When the DVDs were selling, I bought up to that season as well. This image is also missing seasons 32-35 which looks like there are some better rated episodes. I am sure there are funny bits in the later seasons, but I am not really interested anymore.

    Had to look up why season 6, episode 3 was so hated…it’s a clip show that I had completely blanked out of memory.

    I mean, anything above a 5 is above average?

    1 - Don’t even waste your time
    2 - Really really bad
    3 - Has some good things, but mostly bad
    4 - Fell flat quite a lot, but still enjoyable
    5 - Mid/Average
    6 - Decent
    7 - Pretty good
    8 - Good
    9 - Great
    10 - Masterpiece

    So, from my list, it looks like it’s been consistently okay, which is what I would expect from a show that has run as long as it has!

        That’s my personal rating system too. 5 I would literally not watch, 6 probably not either unless it is maybe close to 7 and something simple like some action flick. Haven’t watched the Simpsons in a long long time though. I wasn’t even aware it got this bad. Even before I quit people often said the “new” stuff wasn’t that good but I still felt it was quite enjoyable most of the time. I guess at some point any successful product just becomes a milking process.

    This comes real handy as I am watching The Simpson as a comedy relief series with my girlfriend for the first time ever (she watched several episodes, and I watched even less).

    I’m disappointed that it doesn’t incorporate any other information such as artists, writers, directors, producers, budgets, etc cetera.

    I mean how much new shit can you really come up with at this point? R&M ran dry after like 3 seasons and latest one was just gore porn and callbacks

    What would you do if you’re the writer? I think I’d pat myself on the back, milk a paycheck for a while, and find more fertile ground to impregnate

        Thanks for the recs, though I thought season 7 was pretty boring and do not remember the episode you’re referring to haha. But 1-3 I know basically line for line

        But yeah krapopolis and lower decks seems cool

        Krapopolis was painfully unfunny. I wanted to like it going in but everything felt so contrived. I pushed myself through 5 episodes before throwing up my hands

        He wrote a decent number of classic episodes and has later been a creative head of a TV show.

        There may be other classic writers who could be a showrunner, but I feel like Command definitely could.
