Re: Simpsons Episode Tournament: Seasons 1-10
Even if we agreed there isn't a huge decrease in quality after season 10 (hell, I think it already starts getting bad in season 9), expanding the tournament all the way up to S14 would make it too long and unwieldy. S10 is a good cutoff point.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I think it's golden all the way through season 14. Seasons 15 and 16 are a bit more mixed, but there are still plenty of episodes I love. 17 is where it starts getting sketchy.

Oh yeah, I wasn't really suggesting we make the tournament larger. I was just pushing back against the notion that it turns to shit so soon.theplatypus wrote:Even if we agreed there isn't a huge decrease in quality after season 10 (hell, I think it already starts getting bad in season 9), expanding the tournament all the way up to S14 would make it too long and unwieldy.

If it is a matchup I don't feel strongly about one way or the other, my vote is for sale.

Re: Simpsons Episode Tournament: Seasons 1-10
Outside of regular guest appearances (like Phil Hartman), I'm beginning to realize that I'm just not a fan of any episode with one-off actors or musicians. It's probably why I really don't like anything after 2000.

Side question: How often do you guys watch The Simpsons?

I only watch re-runs on FX, and usually nothing past seasons 11 or 12. So about once a week.

I also have gotten in the habit of watching FXX reruns, which I'm not happy about, considering the episodes are cropped and edited. Some of the editing has gotten really egregious, too - they are cutting some of my favorite jokes.
However, it makes it much more convenient than rifling through my DVDs. I usually watch a few episodes every day.

heh, I never noticed that. I occasionally watch eps on FXX too. Any examples of some scenes they've cut out?LoathedVermin72 wrote:I also have gotten in the habit of watching FXX reruns, which I'm not happy about, considering the episodes are cropped and edited.
