Point is, The Simpsons is still capable of quality television, and even the occasional new classic. Growing up, Sunday night at 8 p. EST was both my favorite and least favorite time of the week. Least favorite, because I had school the next day. When The Simpsons is over, Fox should retire Sunday at 8 p. Why not see The Simpsons until the end? Whenever that is. Now I am watching on my phone in the spare room. Fair enough. In season 17, I start to recognise some of the plots from classic Simpsons.
The recurring storylines give the show a nightmarish quality: the family seem totally oblivious to the fact that they are repeating these storylines, that these setups have happened before and will happen again.
I can feel myself becoming bitter and grumpier. I am aware that it is pretty pathetic to begrudge the writers for reusing some old concepts after episodes. A small, petty man. OK, how old is Bart? And driving to Utah and marrying a pregnant year-old at 28 is … probably just as disgusting, but for a very different reason. So when was Bart born? By season 18, he would have been born in , making this Bart part of Generation Z. A year-old in will be fundamentally different to a year-old in , or , so the question is: which is the real Bart?
Can these multiple Barts really all exist at the same time? How can one person live multiple childhoods in multiple eras and not be driven mad? I have been banished to the kitchen to watch the rest of these episodes. New Simpsons is still The Simpsons, and that means occasionally, out of nowhere, the show can be exhilaratingly good.
I watch Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind from Season 19 and it is almost like a return to the Golden Age: a high-concept premise Homer has to piece together what happened over the last 24 hours when he wakes up with no memory and his family gone , with a good mix of genuine warmth and very silly gags.
