It's The Simpsons 30th Anniversary

*ZariusTwo* · 04-19-2017, 02:07 PM

Simpsons debuted 30 years ago on Tracy Ullman today

To twist a Futurama quote just a tad:

30 years.
About 10 good ones.

It's a real shame Al Jean and Matt Groeing didn't know when to quit when they were ahead. Simpsons should have ended around Season 10....maybe Season 15 at the latest.

Instead because they wanted to have the longest lasting American show and surpass Gunsmoke's 630 episodes, they had it go on forever. What's weird as hell is they think Simpsons has broke some kind of record for the longest running scripted cartoon. There are tons of anime out there like Pokemon and Dragonball or even Naruto with far more episodes than Simpsons. It's almost like they have no idea what goes on outside of America.

I've liked a lot of recent Simpsons episodes, so I'm not against it continuing for years and years.

It's a shame seasons 18 and 19 haven't been released on disc or even on instant video services. I'd buy those in either form of media since I got the first 17, then had to skip ahead. Of course I could pirate them, but knowing me, I'd be caught.

It seems to me that the people who do the most complaining about The Simpsons having fallen off haven't even watched it in years, and so have no idea how the current episodes' quality compares to earlier seasons.

I hope The Simpsons outlives us all.

I watched regularly to Season 25 or so, most of it was pretty bland or bad. There is still the occasional good episode, sure, but it's really not worth it when more than half the season is bad.
