    I still enjoy the Simpsons...the writing is not near what it used to be, but it'll always have a warm place in my heart. I am REALLY looking forward to the next season of Disenchantment. I think Groening is doing something special there.

      I wasn’t a huge fan of the first season of Disenchantment but I definitely think it has potential. I’m always willing to give a series a second chance after the first season. Sometimes it takes a while for them to find their footing.

        Yes, that's a big thing for me with it. The characters are growing which is pretty new for Groening.

      Came here to say I feel like I'm the only one that still likes the Simpsons. Glad I'm not the only one. Obviously not considering they still get enough ratings to get renewed, but reading comments on the internet? You'd think it was the worst show ever. They still have good episodes, like when they went to Boston last year. Lots of good scenes in there.

          Ohh, I'm going to plug Conan O'Brien's Serious Jibber-Jabber about the Simpsons. One hour and twenty minutes with many of the classic Simpsons writers discussing the show among themselves.

          I will check that out and disenchantment as well. I remember when that was getting teased and then forgot all about it until you mentioned it. I appreciate the recommendations!
