Do you watch every episode, or do you stop at a certain season? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve never quite gotten into The Simpsons myself, but never object to an episode when I randomly come across it.

I know there’s a lot of talk that after x season the show is basically over, but I’m curious what everyone here thinks. Do you watch and enjoy every episode and season? Are there seasons you would skip or stop watching entirely?

Just curious how people here feel about such a long-running show.

i’ve watched them all - and i definitely agree with what seems to be the overall feeling: season 10 starts the decline.

that being said, there are plenty of good and fine ones in the middle 20 (lol) to make the watch decent. i also think the newer seasons (maybe the past 3,4?) have more winners than the shows had for a while.

i think the only episodes that i find truly objectionable are the ones built entirely around either a real-life ‘celebrity’ or have a real life ‘celebrity’ play a character that is pivotal…those episodes i just don’t really watch (few exceptions, of course - i like the 24 spoof with kiefer sutherland and a few more)

I definitely agree that the last few seasons have been much better than the previous few.

Nothing will ever touch the golden era early seasons, but the new stuff is still great.
