oblivion 5 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 So what do you reckon? The Simpsons.... Gets better or gets worse with time? Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Early seasons were my faves (exc the first season which wasn't up to the standards) Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I think it has been a pretty mixed bag throughout the years - some weeks you get a great episode, some weeks its mediocre. Recently they have been coming up with just crazy ideas, because the Simpson family has done everything. I like those episodes when they abandon all grip on reality. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 If you go back and watch the first few seasons, they have their funny moments, but they're really tame, and have sappy-ass endings. It seems like the producers loosen the reigns on the writers every year, because they keep pushing it. They've been doing totally bizarre stuff (not "mainstream" comedy), and they've gotten quite political lately to boot. Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Gets better and better. The obsurd stuff really tickles me. For example when they visited Japan! Link to post Share on other sites
nutbag 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Off best definitely best. Link to post Share on other sites
Chancey 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Better! They are getting more and more access to celebrity guest appearances it seems. And sometimes I'm actually shocked sometimes by which celebs decide to do a Simpson's show. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 It's the pinnacle of anyones career, surely, being on the Simpsons. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Too right, all celebs worth anything are probably secretly hoping to be on the Simpsons. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 the list of celebs waiting to get on is huge. mind you this is heresay. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Generally i reckon the recent ones are better, but the ones in the middle are the best. Some of the episodes in the last few seasons are just plain weird and some are very average. But i'll keep watching it! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Never been a Duff season A few years back was best I reckon, but still churning out classics every now and then recently. Link to post Share on other sites

sam_casper 0 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 My vote was its gets better and better... it also gets weirder and weirder!!! but im all there for FUTURAMA!!!!!! kicks but!! Link to post Share on other sites

sam_casper 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 futurama s3 24th sept in aus!! donno bout the simpsons?!? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 The Simpsons are like any good show. They age well with time. The first few seasons were kind of strange. They were funny at the time but watching then now is painful. They are really good now. Just like Star Treck Next Generation. The first few years of that the shows were horrible. Friends, Seinfeld, Fraser are all the same. Every season the bounderies get pushed a little further and the characters become more developed. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 BUt some good shows take it too far and just outlive their welcome. (Trying to think of a few now). I think Friends has gone downhill the last few seasons for one Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Friends is definately heaps worse than it used to be. I haven't enjoyed it for about 3-4 years now. Link to post Share on other sites
sam_casper 0 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Aussie simps fans... The season 3 on wards will be released on dvd box set as soon as channel 10 is done with the re-runs... i spoke to somone who worked for a tv company and you will notice there isnt re-runs of 1 and 2 cause they are already released and the rest will come when 10s done with wearing them out....!? made sense to me i dont know if its 100% correct but fingeres crossed its soon!

mattlucas 0 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Sorry I should`t have included friends in my post a few back. They have gone way downhill and every season I wonder how much further they can drag it out. But you have to give them credit though. They did bring an African American into the series to show that even these white people can have non-white friends. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Please, if you are going to be politically correct you should use the term "European American." Some people here might be very sensitive you know. Link to post Share on other sites
