I completely disagree.

If you don’t like the new episodes of the Simpsons then stop watching. This whole open letter is the author crying that the Simpsons isn’t as good as it used to be and that they don’t enjoy it anymore. They’re honest enough to point out that some people do enjoy it. Yes, are there fewer people that enjoy the show now than used to. Yes, the best seasons and the “golden age” are over. But honestly if you don’t enjoy the show just stop watching.

I like The Simpsons. I like the newer seasons. I laugh at the newer episodes.

My mom gave me a Simpson’s T shirt when the show had just come out. Everyone was wearing Bart Simpson shirts at the time and I am somewhat anti “wear what everyone else is wearing” so I put it in my closet on a hange and said I won’t wear this shirt until the show ends. It has been hanging there since like 1990, never worn. I am ready to wear that shirt already. I am good with this.

It’ll die when it’s not getting the ratings to carry on anymore. Stop watching and it’ll stop being made.

omg yes. its been painful to suffer marges poor voice quality and the diminishing cast list.

its like watching your favorite great aunt who used be the life of the party slowly disappear under layers of age and dementia. a foggy apparition of what they used to be.

I don’t know. During the lockdowns, it was comforting to know that if I ever ran out of stuff to watch, there was always 20 years of The Simpsons waiting to be watched.
