Le Carvaloi
Iām onto season 8 now and the casual ease of it all is just mindblowing, classic lines just coming out in every scene.
The first couple of seasons arenāt hilarious but are still very good television, just relatively serious in places and even dark at times. In fact, Season 3 and 4 might be my favourite as they retain some of the heart of the early episodes but kicks the laughs up a notch. The signs of strain/Flanderisation actually kick in pretty soon afterwards but theyāre able to ride the wave of several years of great comedy before it falls apart at the seams and Homer becomes a complete arsehole.
Not a big fan of season 1, feels a bit too āDonāt have a cow, man!ā at times. I used to write of season 2 a bit as well though but it actually holds up quite well.
Watched a brilliant S1 episode the other day, the one where they all go to family therapy. It was funny because Homer had his old gruff voice trying to get everyone to behave and Marge was being a wild card getting really drunk, like they hadnāt fully worked the characters out yet, it was sweet.
Itās a really ropey episode, but that bit and the bit where they run around the stadium to cheering for an hour are both great.
Yeah, Moeās line is a pretty funny punchline
Marge! A penalty shot with only four seconds left. Itās your child versus mine! The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore!
hereās your turtleā¦alive and well
oh I quite like that episode, for what it is.
I always thought it was good when I was younger, and then I heavily backed it a couple of years ago when me and my friends were looking for an episode to watch and it wasnāt great. Itās not awful, just quite indicative of that era of the Simpsons.
