Topic	When did The Simpsons "jump the shark?"
invertedlegdrop 09/22/23 12:52:23 PM #43:	Seasons 2-7 was peak Simpsons, season 8-9 was where the show started to dip as the show became dumber rather than clever, but by season season 10 the show had become old... There were still funny bits but the show was no longer cool as Family Guy, Futurama, and South Park all eclipsed it... Yes the consensus is that the principal pauper episode was jump the shark episode especially when Matt Groening and Harry Shearer both said the episode was bad. Going through that reveal only to at the end to say eh he's still Skinner to us was just bad storytelling and was a big insult to longtime fans. That was when many people including TV blogs, news articles, etc declared that the golden age of Simpsons was over. Some say Homer's Enemy was the first one but that was a good episode and the highest rated off all time viewer wise. Homer basically took over he show as he dumber and dumber and by the 2000s it was like a Family Guy wannabe... Really if the movie ended the show there would still be a big love for the entire show but it kept going and going until it became what it was created to mock a stale sitcom... After the movie it became the celebrity show, the Lady Gaga and Elon Musk episodes in particular were some of the worst of all time and it contradicted everything old Simpsons was about not glorifying celebrities but humanizing them... The only funny thing about Simpsons today is that its still on the air... Heck now only South Park is still considered must watch these days and even then the last decade has hurt it too... --- Political correctness is the fascism of the 90s-Roger Ebert I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic ***** hatreds-George Carlin <cite>invertedlegdrop posted [p:976238307] in When did T...
