Did any one watch the Simpsons tonight?
Apparetnly entire 1974 graduation timeline has now been retconned.

Homer and Marge now spent young adulthood in the 1990s. Marge is a college graduate and Homer created grunge rock.

1. The Simpsons stopped being worth watching after season 10.
What season are we on now? 18? 19?

2. For some reason, I keep watching this train wreck of a show.
And to think this is happening under Al Jean's watch.

6. I can't.
After seeing 'Homer vs. Dignity,' 'Simspon's Tall Tales,' and 'Kill the Gator and Run,' I realized that it could only get worse...
and got out while i still had fond memories of the glory days of the Simpsons...cohesive and sometimes moving stories, clever and often subtle humor, and GOOD WRITING.

10. I stopped watching after season 5.
I loved those first 5 seasons.
It's just not funny any more.

3. Bush Era revisionism
The Be Sharps never existed?

I'll admit I only caught the first few minutes but I did see Lisa struggling with the math/time line.

4. They got some GOOD digs in on Bush, though.
I still love The Simpsons.

5. brilliant
if bart is always 10, it makes sense that homer is always 36 (or 38)

8. I also thought it was a good one.
Who in the world is watching a cartoon sitcom and NOT suspending reality for 30 minutes?

9. Me, too.
I disagree with the Simpsons "purists" who claim they jumped the shark after season XX. I think it remains one of the most brilliant shows on television.
