>that battle was really fucking awesome in the books
>Tyrion fucking spears a horse with his spiked helmet, kills several people with a battleaxe, and even takes a captive
>all the while holding the vanguard, even though he was essentially sent on a suicide mission without him knowing.
>instead we got a comical scene in which he clumsily falls off his horse or some equally retarded shit.
They needed to put all that money into the Dany scenes, you don't understand! She's so important and the actress deserves your praise!

How was marge be not proud jumping the shark? It's considered one of the best episodes by many and has at least two seasons of solid Simpsons following it.

she's literally reddit: the character. Her story isn't relevant or important and frankly familia, is quite boring (not to mention is rustle my jimmys because all she wants is muh justice and muh free peeple). She's the product of good old george pedophilic wet dreams.

“Marge Be Not Proud” was, in the parlance of crappy television, a “Very Special Episode”. Like so many very special episodes, this one involved a small family crisis brought on by a childish moral breach. Channeling countless television kids who came before him, Bart steals something. That sets in motion a series of television tropes and cliches that play out so predictably that they wouldn’t have been out of place in the 1950s: Bart steals, Bart gets caught, Bart feels bad, Marge finds out, Marge distrusts Bart, Bart feels worse, Bart makes good, they hug, the end.
The episode is made all the more jarring by having Bart be the one who sinks into guilt and self pity. Bart was America’s bad boy, the underachiever who was proud of it. Here he acts like every sitcom kid since television began, haunted by something he did and crushed that his mother is disappointed in him. The Simpsons had never before handled emotions that clumsily.
In the first season, Marge rescued Lisa from bad motherly advice (“Moaning Lisa”); in the second season, Marge accused Bart of ruining Thanksgiving (“Bart vs. Thanksgiving”); in the third season, Homer sulked and didn’t want to go to Bart’s soapbox derby race (“Saturdays of Thunder”); in the fourth season, Marge felt ignored by Homer during her play (“A Streetcar Named Marge”); in the fifth season, Marge threw Homer out (“Secrets of a Successful Marriage”); and in the sixth season, Lisa’s wedding (“Lisa’s Wedding” . . . duh) collapsed because of her love of Homer. Genuine emotional moments were often handled within the framework of the show and The Simpsons knew how to play them with a light touch; using them to swiftly advance the story and then getting them out of the way. But in “Marge Be Not Proud” the emotional moments don’t just linger, they repeatedly grind the story to a halt so that the audience can be assaulted by the obvious time and again.

That tendency has grown considerably worse over time, so compared to episodes in the later seasons, “Marge Be Not Proud” is subtle, witty and well constructed. But while it’s got enough great jokes that it would be the standout of just about anything past Season 10, in Season 7 it sticks out like a sore thumb. It was produced right after “Mother Simpson”, which had ample opportunities to delve into schlock and didn’t, and it preceded “Bart the Fink”, “A Fish Called Selma” and “Summer of 4 Ft. 2”, all of which could’ve easily been weighed down by their heavier moments but weren’t.
In Season 7, it is only “Marge Be Not Proud” that uses a shop worn, moralistic plot and unfolds it at such an agonizingly glacial pace. It is a very special episode, the first one the show ever did, and the harbinger of Zombie Simpsons.

It really is.

Still the best Wonder Woman
Michael Scott is the glue that kept The Office together. After he left there was no reason to watch the show. As bad as it got before, it got worse after.
>>63581678
the show turned into a fucking cartoon
>>63580962
>happy days
>le "cool" main character with his catchphrases XD
>laugh track
Shows like that "jumped the shark" the first episode.

I honestly don't even know why the fuck they tried to keep going after he left. Like, really? Fuck off.
The exact moment when Jerry kisses a dude on a boat.
>>63581678
Tbqh fæm the show waa never good to begin with
>>63581329
I wonder what it's like to stand next to GRRM in an elevator. I like to imagine that in-between his labored, raspy gasps, he mumbles incoherently about how hard Dany is going to get fucked when he gets home.

Albert Ingalls - Little House, season 5. Blind School fire season 6; the orangoutang episode; season 9

I wasn't downhill after that tobehonest... it's just the silliest moment of the entire series
Assignment Earth; Trek; End of S2.

Jerry's pathetic desperation knows no bounds. That was great.

>we'll build this up that we're killing a character but don't worry because we have a time machine, remember?
It's too bad because the new dog they got to replace him was starting to grow on me.
>You guys let a nigger serve your drinks?
>>63581761
but that was really funny
aren't you PC bro?
To this day I still cringe at this forced arc. The lead up to Whitecaps paid off but goddamn it was so forced between the actors.

people don't watch family guy for plot development. they use it for occasionally funny background noise when they get drunk.
>>63582028
I never believed for a fucking second that they were actually gonna kill him off for good

That episode was shit
When Quinn knew that Dexter was actually a serial killer but decided to ignore that because Dexter cleared him from murder charges.
When they did that time travel bullshit in lost
>>63581746
Like when JD left Scrubs and they tried one more season.

S4E1 senpai. Show should have ended the moment Jim asked Pam out. You got the happiest fucking ending and you knew they'd work out. You knew Michael would continue to provide keks at work and Dwight would be Dwight.
Too many pointless episodes on the romance and getting away from what made it the best. But then we'd miss out on the intro where Kevin smashes the chair into the vending machine when Dwight starts a fire, Scott's Tots and "that's what she said" in the finale.
>>63583051
I gotta admit I loved him in that finale. And that's all I have to say about that. Nothing else really.

Your a fag.

I'd have to say it was when Peg was pregnant. From then on, the show wasn't the same.
>>63581952
I don't know if blatant stealth pilots should be considered, otherwise Married with Children jumped the shark with the Top of the Heap pilot.

Season 7, Episode 1 is the Patricians choice for jumping the shark. Season 6 was incredible, and the cliffhanger was really well done and set up a lot of interesting scenarios. The ending result on the season premier was disappointing to say the last all around. Huge letdown to the setups. That and then season 7 itself was a big step down from the golden years of 4-6, and it never got better from then on.
Homer meets Baldwin and Bassinger.
>>63582186
It's funny because it was /pol that said that episode was lulz! and original.
>>63581409
>>63581435
Fascinating perspective. I've always felt like something about that episode stank but I couldn't say what exactly.
I loved all the 'video game cameos' when I was a kid though
This was the last straw
I dropped the show right then and there and haven't watch an episode ever since
