Maybe this wasn't the thread to share that ahah. Just now, HeyPorter said: Also, 90s X-Men cartoon is on there. I didn’t expect to get this spoilt with it already. Simpsons marathon in chronological order will happen soon. Shit. I had no plans to get D+ but this is pulling me towards the idea If they add in Spider Man and his Amazing Friends that might tip me over the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'll get there with them all being in a nice package but I've got loads of them on dvd and downloaded (in the correct aspect no less...) So there's other bits to cover first. I am freelance/self employed though so not really reached relax with Disney+ yet (even if technically I have shit all to do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple fall into the trap of just explaining why obvious jokes are funny, but some of them are really good, offering nice little insights on the writing, personal perspectives and even pointing out the odd joke you may have missed. Well worth a look for big fans. Cheers. Some reading for the ride home from work Edit - @Hugh Jass - only read a couple of them. Crepes of Wrath & Homer's night out. Some good stuff there. That'll keep me amused for a while. Thanks. Edited March 24, 2020 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden Era is always said to be S3-8, but there are some amazing episodes in season 2. Lisa's Substitute, Bart Gets an F, Homer and Delilah, Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish are all great episodes. After Season 8 or maybe 9 the good episode become less frequent but are still there at times (even up to the latest season, they occasionally pull something out of the bag).

charlierc Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Controversial opinion, but I do like quite a few episodes in S10-16. I'm aware its not got anything on the 2-9 run, but I will still laugh along and be amused by enough episodes. I thought S17 and 18 were weak because of focus on the movie, which is pretty strong, but it just got more and more zombie-like thereafter. Not sure I'm that tempted to splash out on Disney+ for the entire back catalogue though. Although that is a strong selling point, plus the fact that unlike Channel 4 its not censored. Get Futurama on there as well and we're in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take 2 over 8 even though 8 still is pretty great. In fact, my order would be: 5>4>6>7>3>2>8>1>>9 I stopped watching at S10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Every series post 10 has at least one or two episodes that are absolute gold. For example: Simple Simpson (Pie Man) Eternal moonshine of the Simpson Donnie Fatso Behind the Laughter Homer v Dignity Weekend at Burnsies Poppas Got a Brand New Badge Fraudcast News Seemingly never ending story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 2 I consider to be a brilliant series. Lisa's Substitute is one of the best episodes ever. Would make my top 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
