Whats your view on The Simpsons? Favourite episodes? What made it great? Why does it suck? What would they need to do to bring it back to greatness?

I think their biggest mistake was making the actual Simpsons so unlikeable. Homer went from being an idiotic character but one who would always try his best for his family and friends. Now he's a full blown retard who rarely even acknowledges that the others exist. He sees a shiny object and he'd run over anyone else to play with it

Marge went from being the backbone and real moral guide of the family to just plodding along with what everyone else wants. Lisa wen from a little girl trying to just be good, smart, and make life better for all she meets. Now she's a self-serving b*tch who thinks shes the queen of the world and nobody can stand in her way because they aren't as important as her

Bart went from the prankster but really being a good kid underneath to just being an annoyance. And as for Maggie, well, the less said about her shooting gangsters with a rifle or bowling a 300 game, the better.

I'll have more later

As i said in Jame's Thinking Now? thread, i don't watch The Simpsons as much as i used to. My favourite episode is the one where Apu goes to live with them. My least favourite is probably the one where Principal Skinner is revealed as a fake. Oh, and Hans Moleman is great.

From my blog...

1: Cape Feare 07/10/1993
Sideshow Bob tries to kill Bart and the Simpsons are placed in the witness protection programme. Brilliant for the scene where the FBI try to get Homer to answer questions in his new name “Mr Thompson” and Side Show Bob and a lot of rakes.

2: Homer Badman 27/11/1994
Homer is accused of groping someone. Classic scenes include “See you in hell candyboys!” and Grounds Keeper Willie being described as “Rowdy Roddy PEEPER”.

3: Homer the Great 08/01/1995
Homer joins a secret society called the Stone Cutters. Notable scenes include the Stone Cutters song (Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star? We do).

4: Hurricane Neddy 29/12/1996
The Flanders home is the only house destroyed during a hurricane and Ned snaps. One thing “I’m D*ck Tracy, take that Prune Face, now I’m Prune Face, take that D*ck Tracy, now I’m Prune Tracy…”

5: You Only Move Twice 03/11/1996
Homer is head hunted by the friendly super villain Hank Scorpio. A personal favourite of the author. Hank Scorpio is the perfect boss, doing everything to help the employees of Globex Corporation, he even gives Homer the Denver Broncos for his help with Project Arcturus. Another episode with a great song, this one is at the end and is a top p*ss take of James Bond theme songs “and on Fridays the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer! He loves german beer!”

There isn't a line that Scorpio says that isn't classic.

Hello Homer. This.... is God....frey Jones from the TV magazine show "Rock Bottom"

I agree though. Cape Fear is the best episode.

Bake him away, Toys!

Any scene with Chief Wiggum, Lou & Andy always has me in stitches. As for a favourite episode, I'd say the one where Homer creates a vigilante law-enforcement group.

The Simpsons at its best is better than any other show. I'd reel off my opinions but they fall EXACTLY in line with Phil. Hurricane Neddy and You Only Move Twice are best episodes and the segment with Skinner and Chalmers in 22 Short Films About Springfield is SUBLIME.

The worst episode I ever saw was one where Marge gets a boob job. Also special places in hell are reserved for the episode Ricky Gervais wrote and the episode featuring Simon Cowell.

oh and I HATE it when they end an episode with someone saying something that isn't funny and then everyone laughing for too long.

I get the joke, I just don't think it's funny and it's a real lazy way to end an episode.

Oh yeah, well what are you going to do about it? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you?
