“After 34 seasons, 750 episodes, and a decades-long funk, the show innovated its way back to popularity and relevance.”

I hear this every few years, it hasn't been true yet.

Yeah, color me skeptical.

I’ve tried to dive back in a few times over the years and it’s never good.

Less absolute garbage sometimes? Yes. I’ll cop to that.

Good? Not so much.

Does anyone still watch? Do they have favorite episodes from the last few years?

Simpsons came out of COVID swinging. Between Bobs Burgers and The Simpsons, Sunday night now has feeling again.

So the latest episodes are actually good? I think I stopped watching around season 18.

Same, I powered through to 20 something, there was an episode where Lisa got an ipod and listened to Josh Groban, and I remember that being it. I said nope, I was done, and only became a casual watcher "Eh if it's on" person.

If it's back I'll definitely start tuning in again though

I'll give em a shot. We'll see if The Simpsons has gotten out of their clickbaity rut

The Simpsons is no longer a zombie.

It’s a zombie that got blown apart by high explosives, but all the blobs of mushed zombie goo washed into a sewer and recombined itself into some even more deformed and unholy entity that science has no way to kill.

@jay The only possible way that the Simpsons become good again is that Disney announce a remake of "The Simpsons: Hit & Run".
