Is it?

I've watched the majority of eps now since I was about 4. It's all become a blur. Admittedly I still watch the new eps but they don't do it for me now.

Looks new and I haven't seen it before and I reckon I've seen every episode up to season 12 5+ times

Ahh 6pm every week night on channel 10 and 7.30pm on Wednesdays. Those were the days.

I seem to remember 7.30 on Fridays instead of Wednesdays but good times nonetheless

6pm Simpsons back in the noughties was great.

The voice of the kid in the Australia episode has been in my head the past few days.

Freakin hilarious.

The way he says emergency



900 dollary-doos!

AAAAANDY!

Australian: You call that a knife?

Australian: *This* is a knife.

Bart: That's not a knife, that's a spoon.

Australian: Alright, alright you win. Heh, I see you've played knifey-spoony before.

 

[Cruyff14]

One of my all time favourite quotes. Rip that out at random times.

Bart: Lunch lady Doris, why are you here?
Doris: Budget cuts. They've even got groundskeeper Willie teaching French.
Willie: Bonjouurrrrrrrrr. You cheese eatin' surrender monkeys.

 

[Floor Pie]

Hello, I'm Dr. Cheeks.
I'm doing my rounds and, ah, I'm a little behind.

Just posted on the Simpsons Best Moments Facebook page but I thought it was too good not share here

We really need to get around to changing our national currency to dollarydoos. It's been 19 years since the original airing, what's taking so long?

One of my all time favourite quotes. Rip that out at random times.

this is the difference between simpsons now and then. were as then they were creating cultural references - we used to walk around the playground all the time saying 'i was saying boo-urns' or the all time most hated teachers episode because everyone would scream on their way to class the next day 'everybody loves me, i am so brave, i am so brave'... and many others.

now that just doesn't happen. they are usually copying cultural references and when they do it it's the shitter parts of western culture such as the couch scene that became a harlem shake video or the keisha song... previous cultural references where usually quite witty and funny such as the north by northwest scene or the "quick smithers, i've created the spruce moose, hop in"...

That's a very nice jig, Kearney!

This post is spot on, I couldn't agree more. I have kept up to date with the Simpsons episodes and have noticed the shift from the late noughties. They seem content to pander to the trendiest cultural references these days; introducing crappy celebs, shit songs and modern day devices (hello plethora of Apple product placements).

They're moving away from what made Simpsons great: well placed witty quotes. The Simpsons these days seem to be a 20 minute long advertisement for the current trending device/show/song. They've given me so many years of great childhood memories that I still remain faithful enough to stick with the show.

So they killed off Barney apparently?



And reading the reddit thread, apparently Edna was killed off as well.

Edna's voice actor died, so it made sense.

Killing off Barney is pretty poor though.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

So Barney dying must have been the character they alluded to killing off then? Thought they said it'd be someone important? Not that he was a shit character, just wasn't in it very often.
