Simpsons. Hasn’t been great since Season 12. Maybe glimpses in a few later seasons. But it’s now running on 35 years. Most of the original voices have left as have long gone all the good writers. The remaining can’t voice characters outside their ethnicity. And the show. Just “fart jokes.”
Probably the most brilliant show for a dozen seasons. Now just a husk.
I often wonder who’s still watching it. Like obviously someone is, because it’s doing well enough to keep getting renewed. But what’s the demographic? I don’t know many young people, but I’d assume they’re not watching it. Certainly nobody in my age range ever talks about it (or if they do, then they just say what the people in this thread are saying - it used to be great, haven’t watched it in years), and I don’t know of anyone in the boomer/parent age group who ever talks about it.
Of course, just because nobody I know watches it doesn’t mean nobody at all is watching it. But just like… who are they?
