I'm baaaack!
This "defense" of the modern Simpsons really gets my goat:
For me, I shouldn't have to tolerate something that's terrible because it's "old". I still hate Homer's Odyessy, When Flanders Failed, and Two bad Neighbors because, IMO, they were awful. Yeah, there's episodes that I "smiled at" and giggled at, too, and I gave them a 1/5 and they sure as hell weren't working.
So, do you think using the "it's old, what do you expect?" defense works, or do you think crap is crap regardless of the Season?
This is episode 498, not 62. I'm not watching it and expecting Homer the Heretic's quality or originality. At this point in the series, if it makes me laugh or at least give me a smile, that means it's still working.
