I saw that it's nearly at 40 seasons, I haven't seen it in years because it went shit. What's it like now?

I’ve been watching consistently through the seasons; a lot of the episodes nowadays are fine with a couple per season that I’m not a fan of and a few more that I really like. I find that I still laugh as much as or more than the other animated shows on Fox, so it’s still entertaining to me.

I've also been watching consistently throughout the seasons and feel the same. It's got good episodes and it's got not so good episodes, but few that are truly bad, but a few that are truly excellent.

The show has a golden era, and that era was the best. Now the show is in its silver era, a step up from the bronze era that ended a few seasons back mind you.

But I still laugh at every episode, so for me as long as they make episodes I laugh at I say keep 'em coming.

Yeah, totally agree; I still laugh at something every episode and I can’t say that much for some of the other animated Fox shows that haven’t been on for anywhere near as long. I’ll be sad when the show eventually ends.

I've been watching the Simpsons all of my life amd agree with the takes here. I'll be watching until the very last episode.

For sure. I feel like it gets a lot of undeserved hate because it used to be really good and they didn’t keep up the same level of quality of the first nine or so seasons, but it’s a long running show and I think very few long running shows, if any, can stay fresh past ten years.
