Bart's Birthday

My cousin and I growing up were both big The Simpsons fans.

We got along really well and one of the things we often would talk about/discuss was The Simpsons episodes. A while ago he told me that The Simpsons have gone downhill if you compare the older episodes versus the newer ones, and unfortunately he is right.

The quality has of course gotten much better over the years due to a certain number of things, but the quality of the content has not gotten better at all.

I have seen a few episodes of some of the seasons but with season 36 out, I thought it would be a good idea to watch the series finale.

The whole ''series finale'' thing threw me off as I wasn't sure if this was really the last season, according to the very reliable internet, it is not.

We have known Bart Simpson to be 10 years old for the past 35 seasons, making an episode of him turning 11 sounds like a good idea, but who knows why on earth they had to drag Conan in and make it into a whole awards show. What a shame.

This episode could have been much better. Honestly it is beyond me how this episode got such a good rating.

The Simpsons should continue instead of ending, as its unique blend of nostalgia and modern humor keeps it relevant. While its golden era is cherished, the show still has potential to create new iconic moments. Ending now would lock it into the past, but continuing allows for fresh stories that can engage both longtime fans and new audiences. The show's satire remains sharp, and its beloved characters still have room to evolve. By moving forward, The Simpsons can balance its rich history with new content, ensuring it remains a lasting part of television culture.

I prefer the show to keep going rather remember it with nostalgia.

This is the most meta episode to date and I'm really happy with how it came out, and it's definitely going down as my all time favorite in the modern era. I have gotten more laughs out of this than any of the latest episodes (which have been decent and heartwarming, don't get me wrong! But they were missing witty writing moments that could've elevated the episodes).

This episode has everything I missed about older era episodes. Actually witty and relevant commentary, brilliant satire and parodies on predictable TV tropes, and it never had a single boring moment. Everything was quotable also. And more importantly, out of all the headliner episodes this one was the funniest viewer engagement bait episode by far. Awesome episode overall!

It's a criticism of about series, finales, and AI and has one of my favorite lines in all of The Simpsons. It was a very good series premiere. Overall, very great episode one of my favorites in all of The Simpsons 31 year run absolute masterpiece of an episode. Would recommend to anyone who is a fans .

I didn't expect this season premiere to be amazing. However, it was a lot better than I expected it to be. The beginning of the episode was not great, and I feel like it lasted way too long. I feel like shows using AI/modern technology in an episode is overused. But this time it...worked? At least it wasn't as awful as other shows and episodes I have seen where AI is an important part to the story. There were solid jokes through the entire episode, and I loved how they did the end of the episode after Bart falls on the cake.

Overall, it is a great start to the season. Makes me have high hopes for the next few episodes.
