I've never understood this line of thinking.

a) There's lots of funny episodes and great moments in Season 10 and onwards

b) If you don't like it, just don't watch it.

Plastic_Ambassador89 t1_j6dl3a4 wrote

eh, there is a pretty clear gap in quality between modern and classic simpsons. As much as people are allowed to enjoy what they want, we're also free to criticize it.

I used to love watching South Park when it first came out. I have probably seen a handful since 2000 or so. I am curious to what people the show now.

Plastic_Ambassador89 t1_j6eyvdf wrote

I actually don't mind modern south park, but it's not for everyone. It's a very different show now than what it was. I think it helps me that it's basically always remained the passion project of just two dudes, so even when there's dips in quality or changes to the humor/storytelling, there's still a consistent essence to it. It feels genuine at least. To compare it to simpsons, which at this point kind of just feels like a corporate shell of itself.

Dunno I havent watched South Park for the longest time, really like the early stuff. Couple of years ago I was flying and they had south park in the infotainment. I watched it and it was pretty damn funny and unhinged just like I remembered it

2

Plastic_Ambassador89 t1_j6fa3c4 wrote

yeah I still think it's funny, it's held up way better than some other shows. They did serialized stories for awhile which was pretty different, but it's still always felt like south park is what i was getting at

Rieiid t1_j6duua1 wrote

It's the same with Family Guy, which mind you is one of my favorite shows. Yes there ARE good episodes and some funny jokes still, but anything after like season 10-11 of Family Guy really started to decline. Some of it is still good, but a large majority of it is either bad or extremely mediocre.

blahbleh112233 t1_j6efbxp wrote

a) There's much more of a noticeable drop off in quality after season 10, not saying its more shit than not like it is today, but the first 10 seasons had a very high and consistent quality

b) we don't, I'm only reminded that the simpsons exist when google news pushes me some AI generated article about x celebrity set to do a cameo as themselves on y season of the simpons.

Have you considered that it is now a favorite for the newer generations who vibe with it, and that perhaps we're just grumbling boomers at this point?

Plastic_Ambassador89 t1_j6djwxu wrote

but is it tho? when was the last time you heard a zoomer talk about the simpsons? viewership numbers have declined drastically and it's not the cultural icon it used to be, idk who's watching anymore, but it's certainly not the kids. Probably just a few dedicated boomers and latin america at this point.

6

Talarin20 t1_j6dkzqh wrote

Personally I think there can be other factors at play here, such as: a constant and oversaturated flow of shows via streaming platforms; the possibility to watch the Simpsons online at any time; a much higher amount of other content to watch online such as YouTube and Twitch.

I think, even if you still loved the show as much as you did back in the early days, the viewership would have declined all the same.

Plastic_Ambassador89 t1_j6dlqoh wrote

Yeah for sure that stuff has played a part. But also maybe the quality of the show has just declined too, those can both be true. idk why we have to be so afraid of criticizing things, disliking modern simpsons has hardly been controversial until right now apparently

I'm mostly questioning that there is a new audience for the simpsons. I don't think there is. I think it's only vestiges of an old audience.

If youre chicago-ish that rice water should probably be old style.

progun_il OP t1_j6c2uh1 wrote

i say chicago-ish as i grew up in the city on the south side. now i live far enough into the suburbs that it's fairly safe. a few miles to the east is a little more than questionable

anyway, 15yrs ago or so old style changed their recipe and started charging more money. i didn't really like it and i figured if i'm gonna pay the same amount as budweiser i might as well drink it.

topherlagaufre t1_j6c345w wrote

Fair enough. I've only lived in the are for about 7 years. Used to live in Lakeview but bought a house near Burbank a couple years ago, so not super familiar with the intricacies of Chicago. I also tend to go on the bougier end of beers.
