Salon: "Remember when “The Simpsons” was good — about a week ago? The ongoing “Simpsons” marathon on FXX began with a bang, running through the unsteady early couple of seasons quickly, then getting to hit after hit after hit. It was like living through the 1990s on warp-speed. With its earthy frankness about family life, the challenges of growing up, and the socioeconomic squeeze the American family was undergoing, it was hard to believe that this “Simpsons” had ever been made at all, let alone that it’s technically the same show that’s wrapping up its marathon this weekend and still airs on Fox every Sunday night. If FXX had really wanted to build anticipation and interest for this marathon, they should have run the episodes in reverse order; it would have been an inspiring story of a show that was mediocre for 15 years or so, then suddenly got great."
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Oh man I totally agree it should have gone in reverse. I say that because I tuned in on the second day or so and I went "Oh crap, I forgot the old ones were great!" Then it became too late and now it's episodes I don't really care about.
Glad it's coming to an end though, that channel plays great movies and I'm glad it's coming back to normal. Id like to see the ratings as the episodes progressed, did it get worse? That'd prove Simpsons now sucks.
NOPE! Everything past season 8 sucks
They should think of injecting a new co-producer and a fresh selection of writers.
I only watched the marathon up until the end of season eight. That should tell you where the disassociation is now.
After season 8 = jumped the shark.
