Even I gave up on the show somewhere around season 23, and Stockholm syndrome had me in a headlock for years. These days, it's decent/kinda good at its absolute best, mediocre the majority of time, and absolutely awful for the rest. Definitely not worth the effort to watch, because there's...

If I had to pick any Simpsons episode as the most influential on my own life, it would be Moaning Lisa. And it's interesting because I don't think a lot of people give this one a second thought, outside of it being the weird downer episode that introduced Bleeding Gums Murphy. It's a first...

Re-watched this tonight, as I do nearly every year, and I stand by most of my previous review from 10(!) years ago. What a masterpiece. The characterizations are excellent, the details about the lower-middle class and its relationship to Thanksgiving are perfectly observed, the ending is...

The response to the response, i.e. this thread would definitely qualify for that

Man, I hate what this show has become. Remember when it was an irreverent bastion for witty social commentary in a sea of network television dross? Now they would rather limp away from controversy instead of writing a more complex and nuanced version of Apu voiced by a man from India. Why...

Thanks. Considering I did a lot of it freehand, it's not so bad. I just get insecure seeing this crazy shit

Made a kinda-crappy Bill pumpkin this year!

Please get a better mic

I was a bit cold on this new season at first, but it won me over by the end. It's perhaps the cleverest, most layered and complex season they've ever made. And it's damn funny too. Every episode is admirably written and animated and a couple of them are series classics (Free Churro, The...

Trying out a new tablet with this one:

Thank you, that's exactly what we were going for; a throwback to 90s cartoons but set in modern times, complete with a fuzzy indie rock soundtrack and laid-back pacing. I tend to describe the show as a cross between the hayseed satire of King of the Hill and the aesthetic of Daria, but with...

Sorry it's been so long since the last update, but I wanted to have something really special when I came back. And I do! Here is the first full-color animation for Moving: our opening titles!

Cool, I just didn't know what the rules were for multi-part episodes.

Tough call. There are a bunch of good options this year. Most visually impressive: Brunchsquatch Most ambitious storytelling: The Bleakening Most inspiring message: V for Valentine-detta Funniest: The Hurt Soccer I tend to agree that The Bleakening is the likely pick, but I'm not sure how...

13 blows. Surprised it's running away with this. 16 > 15 > 14 > 13. Then the improvement came to a screeching halt with 17.

Damn, they killed it with the Mother's Day duo of episodes. Crazy to me that this show seems to be consistently improving when the vast majority of shows its age are usually resting on their laurels by this point.

I've only seen three episodes, so it's encouraging to hear from someone whose tastes usually align with mine that there's improvement on the horizon. As someone who has written multiple screenplays for an animated show, I can tell you that a lot of effort goes into a pilot. There's still script...

I was very excited to watch this show after seeing the pilot, which had solid pacing and a good story that introduced a mostly likable cast. The two episodes I've seen since have been weaker. It all feels a bit, I dunno, rushed. The pilot had a bit more emotion and drama to it, whereas the first...

TL;DR BRING BACK THE GRADES
