If you aren’t following @iresimpsonsfans on Twitter you’re missing out.
Fantastic work.
This thread is a great primer. How many times do you even notice the signs in the Simpson’s?

They did a Thanksgiving themed Treehouse of Horror episode; all three segments were bad to awful.

Wow, an unusually good Simpsons last night. Tod Flanders, with lingering grief over his mother, questioned his faith. The resolution was a little too tidy but it was still the strongest episode in a while (seasons?).

Making my way thru the series on Disney+. Just got to the episode that has the first appearance of Lionel Hutz. Goddammit, I miss Phil Hartman.
This is a fucking travesty. A show built around stereotypes is now forced to give up one its beloved characters. At this rate, who's next to go?
