August 24, 200619 yr Yup... I have seasons 1-8 on DVD... can quote episodes off the top of my head. Not much a fan of the last several seasons, although a few eps have shown hope. Waiting for more to come out on DVD... love that they're absolutely packed with extras.
August 24, 200619 yr I hope The Simpsons go away after the rumored movie. I'm sorry, but that show has really degradated in the last few seasons. The episodes made between 1989 and 1997 were great. Now, Futurama on the other hand, that show has hope.
August 25, 200619 yr It's not going to go away right after the movie--it's signed on through its 19th season, 2007-08. I do however hope it just makes it for an even 20. I'm OCD like that LOL
August 25, 200619 yr ...A thought: What if the entire 20th season was nothing but remakes of the first? Never mind. That wouldn't work.
August 25, 200619 yr We only have Seasons 1-6 on DVD but me & Marcia are both pretty big Simpsons fans. It's the greatest show since Laurel & Hardy and it was the best animated series with no competition until Family Guy came along. Simpsons will go down in history as the Beatles of cartoons... timeless, instant classic, household name & fused to popular culture like no other show post "I Love Lucy".
August 25, 200619 yr Loved it until five years ago. Tolerated it since then. 184614[/snapback] I think the past 5 years are an abomination to their great legacy; it should have been cancelled long ago.
August 25, 200619 yr Big Homer fan here! Watched the show ever since it began. Probably the only show I've consistently watched during it's run. I've got Homers all over the place! In my office (24" singing & dancing Santa Homer), homer boxers & pjs, stuffed Homers galore, air fresheners in 2 of my 3 cars - you get the point!).
August 25, 200619 yr I've been a fan since it debuted when I was in college... the last 8-9 nine seasons have been pretty weak, though. I just got the season 8 DVD set..looking forward to watching it--there were many good episodes that season, IIRC..
August 26, 200619 yr I'm still a fan, though these past few seasons have been very, very poor. I don't think it's anything that can't be fixed with new writers, though. During the show's best years, gags were hilarious in their subtlety and the characters had complexity. In contrast, The writing the past few seasons seems so forced and predictable, almost making the show seem like a parody of itself. I'd love to see some fresh writers brought in to inject some new ideas into the show, those who understand what made the show so great, yet don't resort to recycling old storylines.
August 28, 200619 yr I think Family Guy screwed its writers up, or it's just lack of creativity. I started watching when I was 3 or so. BUt the last few years are horrible. The last episode I watched was like 4 years ago and it had something about a mummy getting an erection. I turned the TV off then and there.
August 28, 200619 yr http://www.offbeatenough.com/2006/03/ 185854[/snapback] Scroll down some more and you find a scene with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate! ...Scroll down a little more and you find one of the Toyota ads from our country.
August 30, 200619 yr Author The video's pretty dang funny. Family Guy's just a mixed-up, wannabe show copied off The Simpsons. I still like the show. Season 7 is the best so far. Q: In which seasons do these episodes appeaar? 1. The Simpsons somehow mess with the law. They go to prison and see Bill Clinton and Elmo (who says 'Elmo went to wrong fundraiser'), and then they go to France. 2. The doctor examines Homer's brain and finds crayons. Homer says he shoved them up his nose.
August 30, 200619 yr Who are these simpsons you talk of? We haven't got cable at our igloo’s yet. (only 2 more years, woohoo!)

August 30, 200619 yr Author 1. What??!! 2. Nobody knows the answer to my Question? Not even Paolino??!! Edited August 30, 200619 yr by MarioBro88
August 31, 200619 yr Author Are those seasons even available in box sets? I've viewed bot on TV, and since season 8 just released, I'm guessing not.
