I mean they were certainly good episodes, but nostalgia and fondness pf these episodes also plays a major part in what makes me enjoy them that much.
Anyway softball episode a best. Can't stop laughing for the whole thing.
>>68946722
>I mean they were certainly good episodes
They aren't just 'good', the golden years are literally the best television ever produced and will probably never be matched again. I can watch most episodes from that era 30 times and never be bored of them, how many other shows can you claim that for?
>>68946780
Well i dont know about the golden years, but the simpsons were truly great. Its just that i cant pinpoint why are they so amazingly funny, so i thought nostalgia plays a lot on that.
Any insight on this?

Thanks pham kekking hard. Are the other episodes as good? Is Simpsons worth watching? Please post some good episodes you can watch without knowing the storyline

Why does season 1 have the best style of all the simpsons seasons?
>>68947186

I can't even imagine how watching these for the first time would be like anymore.
I do remember being a kid and laugh to tears when i watched homer meeting ned at the cider factory.
>>68947283
He's habituated in to laughing at the same jokes he knows the punchline for.

Eh, too inconsistent for my taste. I think 4th season was my favourite in what regards to style. It fits some slapstick situations perfectly.

Regarding homer at the bat episode, the best is whatever happens to the pro players. Its just so absurd all of it.

Hit me up with more episodes phams or is it worth watching them all? I heard season 1 and 2 aren't good?
It's hard to say when the simpsons exactly became shit, but I think everyone who has an opinion on it would roughly tie it to the change in millennium. It's not just the nostalgia of the older episodes, it's the fact that what the simpsons was made to parody doesn't exist anymore.
There's also something about the change to computer animation. The old episodes had such cinematic beauty to them. The backlighting, the warm glow of the colours, the hand painted charm (with all of it's flaws). The angles, oh god the angles. Almost always parodying some movie or other, but surely, that was the point?
And above all, here was a show that was unafraid to show an absolutely shit family who lived in a shit town full of no hopers, but who still absolutely loved each other.
Homer strangles Bart but he really does love him. Bart and Lisa are at each other's throats but they really do love each other. Homer and Marge bicker constantly (often about sadly real things like money) but they love each other and even have a healthy, active sex life.
The Simpsons was meant to parody a TV version of Americana that was already dying out when it came into being. Now it doesn't know what it wants to be anymore, because what it was doesn't exist anymore.

The Simpsons changed from a cartoon drama into its best Family Guy imitation after that show got some success.
I was watching a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe the amount of cutaways and flashbacks they use now. And its not even flashbacks to the show its flashbacks to whatever is a convenient comedy device to the writers. Its terrible.
The decline in quality is basically tied to them making the Simpsons less of a family with issues, and instead into a cast of zany characters with non-stop celebrity cameos.

Season 1 and 2 are generally a bit bland on the humor and very inconsistent in what regards to artstyle. It was in the 3rd where some episodes really began to shine among other not so brilliant ones.
4th til 9th season is mostly considered classics all around, but even then, the first seasons have some really good bits. Again, my favourite one is actually homer at the bat, which is in a season where most of the episodes arent even that good.
>And there followed an angel saying Babylon is fallen. Is fallen! That great city, because she made all the nations drink the wine, of the wrath of her fornication. And the smoke of their torment ascend forever, and ever! And I looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Sion saying with a loud voice. Fear God, and give glory to him! For the hour of his judgement, is come!

This spider-eyed land waits at the harlot's breach hungry for this world! Ready or not for the good earth thirsts for blood, and we, lively angels, must show no mercy. God loves you.

The whole point of the early Simpson is there is no real ongoing plot, so you can watch the episodes in any order really.
Just stick with seasons 2-8 for top quality
>>68951720
>season 1 is bad meme
FUCK OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFF
>>68951039
The world of early simpsons was very surreal. It looked almost like your own living room except in a crazy cartoon world. Kind of like rockos modern life imo

dude trained dogs to respond well to certain noises, like when someone mention early seasons of Simpsons, they're praised, whereas later seasons are scolded and disliked, despite having noticeable but minor differences.

I've always thought that the "Golden Age" was seasons 2-10, either way this is true>>68951862
It was like a transitional period from the wholesome mainstream tv family values of the 80s to the more liberal and desensitized state of the 90s
>>68953707
True, although they also made it clear that they weren't concerned with minor inconsistencies in the layout of the house for instance, or their address (especially in the early seasons)

>The decline in quality is basically tied to them making the Simpsons less of a family with issues, and instead into a cast of zany characters with non-stop celebrity cameos
>a cast of zany characters with non-stop celebrity cameos
It's funny how the show turned into precisely the kind of shameless self-parody that was foretold by the behind the laughter episode. It's like they knew it was only a matter of time if they kept the show going, and wanted to beat critics to the punch. Although I think the show may have already been losing a little bit of its luster by that episode.

I think the biggest problems with the celebrity cameos is that instead of subtly poking fun and parodying them like they should, they can't do anything. Freaking Lady Gaga was on the show, they gave her magic powers and all they could do is go "LOL SHE WEARS FUNNY CLOTHES" They should've NOT had her on the show, make a parody character of her, and in very subtle and satirical ways knock her stupid attention whoring down a peg.
Hell, forget making a parody of her when you can just have Krusty who is a satire of Hollywood itself, knock everyone down a peg.
>>68955368
The celebrity cameos used to be just that, cameos. The episodes didn't revolve around the celebs, and in the very rare instances where they did, it's because the celebs themselves were voicing a guest character. Like danny devito or jon lovitz. The episodes began to rely more and more on celebrity appearances in the episodes to drive the plot and lost the creativity that made the older episodes so good.
