Phil Hartmen's death was the real reason for the decline of The Simpsons.
Most Simpsons fans can agree that it started getting shitty around season 9 or 10.
Phil Hartmen died on May 28, 1998 (aged 49).
Simpsons season 10 first aired August 23, 1998.
Coincidence I think not.
I rest my case.
What? Oh no, I thought that was just a figure of speech. Case closed.
Simpsons was always shit, when will you idiots realize this?

>>71663144
You're point being?
>>71663051
Futurama caused the decline.
All the good writers went over.
>>71663051
The Simpsons turned to shit when most of the writers left to work on Futurama
>>71663321
but futurama post reboot was pretty crap as well so where did the good writers go then?
>>71663334
i wonder where they are now?
>>71663288
His name was Phil Hartman, you imbecile.
I remember exactly when the Simpsons started to decline. It was when they introduced that character who answers the phone and says mmmmmyyeeeessss. I'm not saying that was a particularly bad joke but whenever that happened was the start of the decline
>>71663384
that weird shop clerk?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?
>>71663321
>>71663334
This.
Groening himself only did The Simpsons in the hope of doing his' cartoon about a sassy robot'
Saul Goodmans real life brother, not David St Hubbins, is the shows major producer and really hit autopilot after season 10
>>71663384
>I HAD A STRROOOOOOKE
that bit made me laugh
>>71663350
post reboot futurama was crap because the show had gone on too long past it's prime and the writers had invariable run out of steam and ideas
after the "movies" they should have moved on to something completely new and different.
>>71663357
same thing
>>71663051
>Phil Hartmen died on May 28, 1998 (aged 49).
why did he die so young? and who is he anyway? a writer?
>>71663835
His wife murdered him
>>71663835
got shot by some crazy ass bitch
>>71663835
He was murdered by his wife. A voice actor and a comedian.
>>71663384
who is the worst zombie simpsons recurring character?
>>71663727
Shut up, twat.
>>71663942
He was murdered by Andy Dick. He bragged about giving Phil's wife the drugs that set her off.
>>71664032
and then he appeared as a guest on one of the episodes, isnt that wonderful?
>>71664032
what a Andy
>>71663051
>Phil Hartmen's death was the real reason for the decline of The Simpsons.
Phil Hartmans death was the real reason for the decline of western civilization. Lets be fair.
>>71663835
>why did he die so young?
Because Andy Dick has a substance abuse issue.
>>71663051
Simpsons started its decline season 4. That fucking monorail episode is where the whole series jumped the shark.
>>71664309
I would like to hear more of your contrarian view points, please proceed?
>>71663051
eh simpsons is still pulling good numbers and for good reasons
they are progressive enough to not get stoned by the media but reactionary enough to attract jaded cynical fucks like me
>>71663051
Started getting shitty in Season 7. Hartman's death had LITERALLY nothing to do with anything and I suggest you fucking FAGGOTS shut the FUCK UP.
Hartman was funny and all, but there was clearly something dead and wrong deep inside him, and it's not wonder he got merc'd by his crazy wife, it was probably a decade plus of psychological torment on both sides.
>>71664309
Nah, Season 1 is where it jumped the shark, in particular the episode where they get Santa's Little Helper
>>71664346
its just so bland and homer isn't remotely funny anymore
>>71663951
>>71663951
>zombie
?
>>71664755
Bad seasons
>>71664755
zombie simpsons as in the period where the show is dead and possessed by evil
>>71664346
>reactionary
define this meme buzzword pls
Newsradio also went to shit without Hartman, at least they had the decency of cancelling it only one season in
is south america asleep?
>>71666766
No, but the one Argentinian faggot who shits up Simpsons threads is.
>>71664780
>>71664658
literally family guy
>>71663051
I agree 98%.
>>71663835
Andy Dick fed his recovering drug addict wife drugs and she went crazy
>>71666792
i'm here. just very tired
>>71667080
LOL
fucking kill yourself you stupid little pussy
Phil Hartman was more responsible for his murder than Andy Dick will ever be, even in your feverish paranoid fantasies. Hartman probably routinely cheated on his wife, probably hit her, probably molested their children. Shit like murder-suicides don't just happen because you do some blow with Andy Dick. Fucking cretin
>>71667179
>probably
>>71667148
long night in the villa hiding from corrupt Argentinian police?
>>71663321
>Futurama caused the decline.
>All the good writers went over.
This isn't really true. David X Cohen and Ken Keeler were the only two former Simpsons writers besides Groening who really played a major role in Futurama's original run.
>>71667179
shut up andy
>Simpsons went to shit because the voice actor of one gag that was used maybe 5% of the time died
ok
>>71667342
you can see the groening influence in futurama, it was really consistently creative in its early seasons.
i assumed that i only liked it when i was younger but i recently rewatched and the first 3 maybe even 4 seasons are pretty bloody watchable. not guffaw, rapid fire wit like prime simpsons but a nice amount of snorting to myself moments
>>71667440
he did voice pretty much anyone who wore a suit
>>71663102
>there are people posting on /tv/ who were born after the simpsons stopped being good
>>71664658
>>71664780
>>71666859
To be fair I found this quite funny
https://youtu.be/yavNfWAgMOI
Mainly the fact that anything is funny in German
>>71668608
jawohl
>>71663835
>have access to the internet
>have to ask a question that could be solved in a five second Google search
>>71663051
yup Simpsons, NewsRadio, and Pee Wee's Playhouse dropped off in quality when he departed
>>71663951
