Entertainment & Music The Simpsons Part 3

[Cruyff14]

Even though the show isn't as good as it used to be, I would be sad when they have the final episode.
If you were part of the writing team, how would you finish the show??

Personally I would have the the whole Simpsons family die in a car accident. I know it sounds brutal. It's the best way to end the show though IMO. Or is it too graphic for the show??

The show has been a car crash for years anyway, hardly anything new there.

Yeah, and then they get the chair.

That's not what he meant.

Homer's Barbershop Quartet on now.

Brilliant.

Admit it Igloo, it was.

A nuclear meltdown at the plant that causes everyone to leave Springfield would make sense.

We prefer to call it an unrequested fission surplus.

Fvcking glorious. I literally just spat out my water laughing when I saw this post. Brilliant

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Simpsons already ended after about season 11 in my eyes. What's on now is just a half assed spin off.

Behind the Laughter followed by maybe a farewell episode would have been an excellent way to finish the series IMO.

Homer's Barbershop Quartet on now.

Brilliant.

Barney: Barbershop is in danger of growing stale! I'm taking it to strange new places!

And I contend those tourists were decapitated before they entered the 'Krustyland House of Knives'.

“Now, we give ’em the bikes, no one sues.”
“What if they’re dead, sir?”
“Then we ride these bikes to Mexico, and freedom, Willie, freedom!”

Anything before season 3 is terrible to watch now. You'd expect that since that was a bloody long time ago

 

[Kram]

I wouldn't say that the first couple seasons were terrible at all and still holds up pretty well. The show just had a bit of a different tone and hadn't hit its stride yet.

 

[Bluelegs]

How come you always run out of tardy slips before you run out of permission slips?

Season 4 is missing the Treehouse of Horror, which is, in my opinion at least, the best ToH, notable for "Zombie Flanders".Whacking Day and A Streetcar Named Marge are also both excellent, andLisa's First Word is a personal favourite of mine. But season 4 is flawless, so kudos for being able to limit it down as opposed to simply listing each episode in order of personal appeal, which no one would hold against you form doing so.

As for Season 5, almost as flawless as season 4, I noticed Deep Space Homer as a notable absence, as are Homer and Apu, Cape Feare and Marge on the Lam, they latter being my favourite Lionel Hutz episode.

Pretty good list all around with those few exceptions, imo.
