Why is The Simpsons season 1 so terrible?
>>67274007
Because what came after colours your perception of it. It was groundbreaking and fresh when it was new.
>>67274007
The Simpsons were never good.

I remember when they changed Smithers from a black character to a white one. That truly was a blow for diversity and representation on TV.
It's not terrible, it's just that there's a big step up to season 2
then a bit smaller one to season 3, and even smaller to S4
you get where i'm going with this

Kangaroo land.
Why did they turn Homer into a complete idiot?
In the early episodes he is more naive and ignorant, and didn't want to be embarrassed by his family.
The characters actually had more depth in season 1 but become diluted as time went on and they needed more jokes.

>diversity
I'm on to you

They changed the judge so that makes up for it.

Here in the good old USA, there are commentaries on every episode for every season.

that's in the later series, he's still good in 2-4 I'd say

Went from Irish to Black, not much of a difference.
lol i haven't watched season 1 in sooo long...what are the standout moments, /tv/?
>>67274007
It wasn't, if you grew up on Brady Bunch and the Cosby Show.
I like Season One as a memo, but it was clunky to re-watch.
Felt like they released early draft material, not finished episodes.
I draw in my spare time so I kind of have a soft spot for the crude animation.

Cashies m8; got S3 to S8 or so on dvd with only the Michael Jackson episode not playing properly (90% my poor care of the disc though) and i never really liked it anyway.
S3-S4 has the most comfy commentary tracks, Al Jean and Mike Reiss are pretty amazing writers and good at explaining stuff.

Nothing is fully formed, the characters are still in a gestation phase.
Also, Matt Groening has a writing credit or two on S1 episodes. As far as I know, these are his only writing credits in the series.

>Simpsons commentaries
>every episode that's written by John Swartzwelder, they talk about how they invited him to talk about the episode
>he's never done a commentary

You get an explanation on why Homer is the safety inspector or how he became safety inspector.

When I was a kid and I saw the episode where Smithers is black, I thought they had ran out of the color yellow.
