The Simpsons- Still the Greatest of All Times

I swear to you I'm not making this up.... I was about to come on here and start a thread about how I just don't get it. My TV is still on Fox from the Steelers game so I'm watching this Simpsons episode.
I just don't get it. Never have.
You are the most contrary muther****a this board has ever known.
Don't sweat it. You don't get to start anymore survival challenges either. You don't follow-up when it ends, and you don't pay-up to the winner.
The Simpsons were cutting-edge satire comedy... in 1990! 26 years later, it's really been done to death. I used to love The Simpsons... in 1990-92 ish. Same with South Park and Family Guy. After 4 or 5 seasons, it starts losing its edge.
I agree if you watch every single episode. But I dropped in on it tonight and it was hysterical.
I still have old VHS tapes with the original broadcasts. There are some that I still recall verbatim.
One of my all-time favorites was a first or second season episode where they got an RV and Homer and Bart get lost in the woods. Homer winds up being mistaken as being Bigfoot.
The Call of The Simpsons!
Im just saying that tonights epsiode was pretty damn funny. Not season 1-5 funny, but there were some good glimpses.
The Simpsons have been fantastically hilarious through the years . . I remember this episode where they re-wrote the script after President Bush compared the Simpsons to the The Walton Family . .
After the show's first season, First Lady Barbara Bush told People magazine that the animated sensation was "the dumbest thing I've ever seen." This elicited a written response from "The Simpsons'" animated matriarch, Marge. Mrs. Bush was chastened by Marge's letter and apologized for her "loose tongue." The Bushes, however, didn't learn the lesson of avoiding a fight with someone who, to adapt an old saying, distributes photons by the megapixel. In 1992, President Bush, in a well-publicized speech, pined for an America that was "closer to the Waltons than the Simpsons." Once again, it was on – and the Simpson family returned fire. Commenting on the economic slowdown gripping the nation, Bart Simpson tartly observed, "Hey, man, we're just like the Waltons. Both families are praying for an end to the depression."

The episode where they moved across the street from the Simpsons is a classic.
I loved it the first few seasons but then didn't have time to watch and just lost interest. I might check it out again if it's on Hulu or something.
It has given me some "lol" momets for sure. I remember one where homer and bart set a rabbit snare. It catches a rabbit then slings it about a mile away into the distance. "DOHHH!"
@UNC71-00, admit it. You started this thread just to troll @TarHeelNation11. You obviously succeeded since he was the first person to respond.
My favorite Simpsons episode was when Aunt Selma takes Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens. Lisa drinks the beer in the "It's a Small World" ride and starts having hallucinations. They get Lisa home when this scene happens:
Lisa: "I am the Lizard Queen!"
Guy in Lab Coat (handing Selma pills): "Give her this...and this...and then these."
Selma: "Thank you, Doctor."
Guy in Lab Coat: "Ohhhh, I'm not a doctor."

Funny show. I've always been a fan. I don't watch it anymore though but I don't watch any TV programs anymore. Every blue moon I'll catch an episode or two at 11:00 pm on FXX. And I can still tune in and see one I've never seen before. The catalog is deep.
