How can one bad episode out of a season break you? It's like for the simpsons fans we're one dropped straw from the end of the world

This is harder to take seriously after watching the other episodes this season which were great.

I loved the movie. Meh.

One episode in a good season and it's quits? Why dont we see more "im back for good" from people who see a good episode after a bunch of meh ones.

This was written before this season's christmas episode

It's hard to take seriously when people have been saying it for 20 years, even during good episodes. I sure dont.

I more or less enjoy most episodes, so whether they change or not I would mind.

I'm glad I found someone else who is growing tired of AT.

But now that sounds like a "it's good when it's things i'd be comfortable with but with other things it's desparate."

I thought the midway seasons had higher ratings. But people found a way to use that as an insult to the newer ones anyways. Dedication.

It's mainly that people force themselves to hate perfectly fine episodes so to them, there's only around 3 good episodes a season.

If you havent seen an episode since the movie how do you know the show is still "run of the mill bad"

I wish. When the show does something bad, it's remembered, but when it does something good people say "this is the best thing they've done in 15 years" ignoring every other good thing.

It's crazy because THIS WHOLE SEASON was everyone saying "things are pretty good now." Then this one episode comes up and suddenly the show hasnt been good since season 16 (which used to be within the show's "bad" seasons anyways but now isnt apparently.)

Nobody aging is a standard animation trope and not all that odd or annoying. I agree that different is good. It's why I think Spongebob got bad while Fairly Odd Parents remained good. One decided to never, ever change and it made watching an episode tiring. But I dont think fans on a whole want things to be different.

That sounds a bit overreacting to me. I didnt like that they actually melted, and would have rathered they all ran away. I didnt even like the joke much, but not because it was mean or anything, it was just what took me out of the episode the most. More than the space part, honestly.

Complaints against the new episodes that are things the old episodes did as well is common at this point.

I watched that last week and liked it. First one was better and I'd rather Milhouse wasnt a zombie, but oh well. Plus arent all future episodes sort of sequel revisits to slightly similar versions of past future episodes?

And exceptions dont really break rules is what I'm saying. I understand your point but I just disagree with how detrimental this is. A show like Bob's Burgers doing this I'd (maybe) hate (but likely still find funny), but I feel the Simpsons has gone just far enough for this to not bother me all that much.

Nope. Just rewatched it to be sure and enjoyed it again. It was fun to me. I need to find a high quality version to save to my computer.
