In its best years, was The Simpsons the greatest show of all time? I honestly believe it was, from about Season 3-8. Untouchable, it's a real shame that they're now getting to the stage where there are more bad episodes than classics. But at it's best, for me, it's the greatest show ever.

the thing is the people behind 'the simpsons' don't know know when to call it quits. i used to watch the show all the time when i was younger and i can't even tell you how many times they redid the same theme/conflict in different episodes.
they should have ended the show when they started futurama and ended futurama as soon as they started it. -
I still love it myself......but actual lol's per show, Family Guy is better for me now!sorry.:rolleyes:
-
Was top drawer back in the day, still watch it now right enough when thers nothing else on. The latest Family guy serious isnt as good as earlier ones either. I prefer south park to either of them and the last serious of that was dire.
-
Still love it :50:
South Park's my all time favourite though. -
agreed :shamrock:
-
I'd say 2-11 were good for The Simpsons
With a couple of exceptions here and there
The * film was dire -
Used to watch it all the time but its just not the same for me anymore. At times im watching it and it feels like a childrens cartoon and i feel a bit sad. South Park has now overtaken it for me now.
-
used to love it but you are right the show jumped the shark many years ago. Love south park but it too looks old in the tooth, i still laugh but.......
-
The older series were brilliant but the new episodes out the last few years have been absolutely dire. Dont really watch it anymore tbh
-
i went from simpsons -> king of the hill -> futurama -> family guy -> south park -> archer
still watch em all, but love archer to death right now -
Archer is * brilliant.
-
fk yes, u see the new episode?
-
I watched the one that came out last week (it was brilliant) - think there will be another one available on the web in an hour or so.
-
yea same here, cant wait to see the follow up episode
pirate fortress ftw -
It was the original that spawned the rest. Used to watch it with the whole family after dinner.
Gets a bit * after you've seen every episode 14 times right enough. -

I agree, and that's a big difference for me between Simpsons and lots of other shows, especially Family Guy. Family Guy has no re-watch factor, once you've watched an episode once, it won't be watchable the second time. The best Simpsons episodes, I can never get sick of. My favourites would have to be:
- Frank Grimes (Homer's Enemy)
- Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show
- Homer's Phobia (where he hates the gay man the family warm to)
- Power Plant Softball Team (Homer at the Bat)
- Who Shot Mr.Burns, both parts
