I'll give you a hint: she's yellow and has three feet of blue hair.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't like that episode? That is easily in my top five favorite Simpsons episodes of all time. Dignity Can I borrow a feeling "It's a pretty standard stunt Homer" Classic.

It is one of my favorite episodes too but there's no denying it was all downhill from there. There's nothing at all wrong with the episode itself but I look back at Milhouse's parents divorce as a marker as the beginning of the downfall of the series.

Actually I can find something wrong with the episode and that is there wasn't enough of Kirk and Luann. The episode should have been completely focused on them and Milhouse and not Homer and Marge.
Fuck, make a Milhouse spinoff, Fox.

I feel dirty just looking at the cover. I dunno, I kind of feel like season 9 was the last great one for the Simpsons, if only for the carny episode alone.

Season 10 is where where it officially began spiraling out of control. Once Bart killed that bird, it just caught fire and corkscrewed towards Earth.

It should have ended at season 8. Hell the last ep of season 7 would have been a good ending.

As much as I love the Simpsons, part of me thinks the movie should've been the last hurrah or maybe they should just stick to movies. I can't remember the last new episode I saw.

The new episodes are awful. They're trying to turn it into Family Guy. They should just kill it already.
The movie was fucking terrible.

I liked the movie because it felt like the old Simpsons. There were lots of season 5 and 6 kind of moments.

It felt NOTHING like old Simpsons to me. It had its moments but there weren't many. I am more of a fan of the season one-three era and that's really what I consider to be the true Simpsons. I still like seasons four-eight but even then it was turning into a different show. These days you can just tell the writers are getting old.

Alex, your Simpsons opinions are officially null and void. Fuck you. I have the Burger King toys AND dolls, TWO 1990 talking Bart Simpson dolls, TWO Simpsons Colorforms sets, the Bartman poster, the Butterfinger ice cream bars Bart doorknob hanger, vintage Simpsons band-aids, Simpsons Sing the Blues and I had Bart Simpson pajamas and house shoes, and I was Bart Simpson for Halloween in 1990. Suck my ass.

The old figures used to be awesome, the spring loaded couch, the TV with interchangeable images, and they had holes in their head so you could put different word balloons over them.

Sorry I've bern drinking. I have the Simpsons Mania Consumers Guide from 1990. In it, they talk about college kids throwing ALF parties back in the day. Really? ALF parties?

ALF parties would be awesome today, but in 1990, that'd just be sad.

And they're actually worth some money now I believe. I need to find my "I'm Bart Simpson Who the Hell Are You?" t shirt.
