“After 34 seasons, 750 episodes, and a decades-long funk, the show innovated its way back to popularity and relevance.”

      Yeah, color me skeptical.

      I’ve tried to dive back in a few times over the years and it’s never good.

      Less absolute garbage sometimes? Yes. I’ll cop to that.

      Good? Not so much.

      Does anyone still watch? Do they have favorite episodes from the last few years?

    The Simpsons is no longer a zombie.

    It’s a zombie that got blown apart by high explosives, but all the blobs of mushed zombie goo washed into a sewer and recombined itself into some even more deformed and unholy entity that science has no way to kill.

    So the latest episodes are actually good? I think I stopped watching around season 18.

      Same, I powered through to 20 something, there was an episode where Lisa got an ipod and listened to Josh Groban, and I remember that being it. I said nope, I was done, and only became a casual watcher “Eh if it’s on” person.

      If it’s back I’ll definitely start tuning in again though
