It's the second highest rated show on Fox after almost 30 years, so I'm not sure how it "fell."
in the video hes seems mostly going by quality of the show
eh It wasnt amazing imoAmazing analysis of the show and its decline.I just want the show to end because it's gotten too
.
some stuff he seems to be taking from others and they dont seem right
like him claiming Simpsons was end to traditional family sitcoms when Married With Children did it to and premiered before the Simpson.
only thing he was spot on about seemed to be the Satire and relationships with celebrities
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Watching newer eps of Simpsons is

No lies detected. I tend to watch FXX (an all-Simpsons site) when I'm having trouble sleeping or twisting my hair, and I very rarely watch anything outside of the first nine seasons. Watching modern day Simpsons is like waiting for your grandparent to die. At some point, you wish the Grim Reaper would just put it out of its misery.

damn, i wouldn't say thatbut yeah, the first 8 seasons were too real but then it quickly became water downed with the staff members dying and leaving the show. they became too popular and the whole idea of introducing celebrities to the show was the down fall..
the simpsons movie was okay but they should of made one during earlier seasons..
decent video, nothing I haven't heard before. Same cynical shyt.
newer seasons are obviously not the earlier ones but there's still gems in'em.

That DID sound a little harsh. But I mean more along the lines of a sickly knocking-on-death's-door kind of grandparent, not my "Daisy-are-you-there-pick-up-the-phone" grandma who keeps treating my voicemail like an answering machine.
My granddad died of cancer and towards the end, we really were wishing he would die so he would stop suffering. His death was long, painful and cruel to everybody who loved him (especially his wife). When he finally passed, it was like we all breathed a sigh of relief.
That's what I was referring to about this show. You remember the good times with this show and you appreciate it to death, but you know that this show will never return to form. In fact, part of its legacy is about how far its fallen. I will say that I thought the movie was actually good; it probably should've ended there.

Rep pending op. I enjoyed that. The narrator really broke down how the simpsons fell off in a beautifully poignant way.
In the 90s the simpsons was the show your parents wouldn't let you watch (and full house , Cosby and family matters were the preferred shows). Parents didn't want their kids to be like Bart. I remember being little and I would sneak and watch it and I said something sucks in front of my mom and she got so mad lol. Anyway the narrator is right. It is a sad odd parody of itself now. I can't say it better than he did.

Simpsons is still a solid show, only people who complain about it not being the same as the good ole days are people who supposedly don't watch it anymore
I don't think any show that started before the internet and still going after it can be the same

That's the point though, it had to become a different show at the turn of the century and in the process loss it's essence. Yeah you may still like it, but the theory of the op's video is that it's two different shows now and if you liked it before you probably won't find the same essence in the its current version.Simpsons is still a solid show, only people who complain about it not being the same as the good ole days are people who supposedly don't watch it anymore

it lost its essence because "you" grew older. this "Simpsons Suck" opinion is not new, it just the people who grew up with it are older now and the show didn't grow up with them. The show does NOT suck, its just not for us anymore
When i still occasionally turn to it while waiting for GoT, its still one of the best looking shows on TV and I never end up saying that was a horrible episode of the Simpsons
