“Of course, I can’t speak for The Simpsons’ legions of fans, but at 43 years old, I haven’t met or even spoken to anyone who champions the new episodes”
Wouldn’t champion them but still watch them with pleasure so I disagree
the old ones are golden age, and foreshadowing of current affairs. the news ones are just to cringe, just like family guy the most recent ones i heard 1 of them just copied the previous plot. american dad did something similar with thier recent episodes, but they were cleverly done so it wasnt an issue.
when both stan and francine both had thier own horror-type episodes.
I agree that old ones have more “political and world issues” flavour and the new episodes I think are more about general fun/funny and feel-good stuff about family dynamics. I wouldn’t put it no where near family guy in terms of using cringe humour. Just because it is less prophetic and political does not make it automatically worse in my opinion, it just makes it different. I still enjoy it.
