The show fell off after season 14. I stopped during 15 and have never seen a new ep since then. I heard it picked back up some seasons later. Is it worth watching? Will it be similar to the earlier seasons?

S11 bro, that was the end... So many bad episode and continuity issues, also some gems(Behind The Laughter)

True...but at least they weren't retconing shyt like crazy like they have been.

Like I think it was a couple seasons ago...they retcon'd how Marge/Homer met...they met in the fukking 90's now.

Yup I feel you. And the way I rationalized it: the show is constantly going to update itself for the time it's in, which is necessary to continue and in order for Bart and Lisa's ages to make sense for now, Homer and Marge would have to meet in the 90s. Of course the other option is just not to do an episode about that which is what I would've preferred

Eh I could see why things like that kinda have to be done.

The show's been on for more than 20 years. There's a whole new generation watching the show now.

Yeah I feel you, and it makes sense...just annoys the shyt out me.

As big of a fan as I am, I wouldn't really flinch if and when they cancel it. I honestly watch out of habit more than anticipation.

Exactly. When they're using iPads and iPhones and using Wi Fi and having guess stars from current day, it wouldn't make sense to not adapt some backstory

Nope don't want that to happen. I still enjoy the show because it's like enjoying your favorite shirt...even if it doesn't fit as well as it used to, even if it's faded, it's still your favorite shirt and if it goes away there will be hell to pay

Come on look how often they switch up continuity in comics. You're gonna hold Batman and Superman writers to something that happened in a comic over 50 years ago???

When it comes to the Simpsons the continuity doesn't really matter. Just enjoy the stories.

Right.

Year Zero doesn't erase Year One . It's just a different interpretation of the same story.

And if you don't like Year Zero, just ignore it and keep Year One. How many times has Superman's backstory been changed? Peter's is in the process of being slightly altered now. Shyt happens

Too bad the stories have been lackluster for a long time. There's a couple gems every season but overall...meh.

They need to bring Hank Scorpio back

I suppose the upcoming "death" might be an interesting story, depending who it is.
