So, I finally discovered the magic that is The Simpsons. I've only seen the DVD's, which are seasons 1-4, but I still love that show. What're everyone else's thoughts on The Simpsons?

that so is hirlarous. *thinks of a episode.* lol
The Simpsons was the most awesome show for a long while. Lately it's been well... not bad, but not Simpsons quality good. I dont watch anything but reruns anymore. Seasons 3 through... like, 7 I think are the best. Hilarious stuff.
I agree with Ashley here too.
For a while, the Simpsons were so spot on and sharp with their commentary that we've become spoiled into thinking every show must also rise to this level. Though it's probably inevitable that the show would begin to lose steam after SO many years and episodes, to look back at the sheer volume and scope covered always leaves me in awe. The show also set the way for South Park, for Family Guy and a whole new generation of "shock" cartoons, one's that push the envelope more than ever, whether with their racy jokes, controversial messages, or just crazy situations and characters.
When the show does indeed end, it'll be like saying goodbye to a small piece of history as it has given so much yet always continued to impress.
Take care all.

I used to watch the reruns when I could find them. I don't even do that any longer. I haven't seen a new episode in a long long time. I read (a while back) that even some of the Simpsons voice-actors think the show is starting to suck. Wish I remember where I'd read that interview. One of the big mainstream news sites.
When I was a kid my Mom never let me watch the Simpsons. I never fell into the habit of watching it but I still love it.

The Simpsons are so funny!
Homer's anger problem episode:
Homer: I don't have an anger problem at all!
Lisa: Yes, you do. Look, you're punching the cat right now.
Homer:*Is punching the cat* Oh my God you're right! I'm a rageaholic! I can't live with out rageahol!*Sobs*
A very funny episode.

The old Simpsons were awesome. Those episodes never get old. The new ones...yeah...I'm not going to go there.
The recent episodes are terrible, but the older ones are the best. I especially love the episodes 'Selma's Choice,' 'Cape Feare,' and 'Rosebud.'
BTW, I saw the fifth season collection available on DVD.
I find the new ones better than the old ones. The only thing that frustrates me is the age of the kids. I also hate Lisa.
Greatest show ever. Past it's prime, but this season has been better than some of the other more recent ones.

Todd: Daddy are jealous of Mr. Simpson?
Flanders: Maybe just a tad.
Todd: I'm jealous of girls because they get to wear dresses!
>awkward silence<
Flanders: One problem at a time boy.

The Simpsons is indeed a great show, although I don't think it's as funny as it used to be. South Park has surpassed it, in my opinion.
The simpsons is the best, that simple. It has to be one of the funniest cartoons out there and how long have they been on and have not been cancelled? That right there says it enough that it's great *i actually don't know but i know it's been over 10 years*
As for south park....*remembers movie and laughs* I still think the simpsons is better
*You know it's over, growing colder, I need something, leads me next to nothing...*
