A another similar incident was when Marge became addicted to gambling and was out of the house for along time. Lisa comes running into Homer's bedroom and ask about the Boogeyman. Homer freaks out again and goes running into Bart and says "I think there maybe a boogeyman or boogeymen in the house. Then Marge finally comes home to find Homer(with a shotgun), Lisa and Bart hiding behind a turned over couch.

The "It's been getting better" mantra has been around for a good 6 or 7 years and still isn't true. It's a shallow, humourless, out-of-touch show now.

Can anyone, who is familiar with the newer episodes, list the Top 5 post Season 10 (shall we say?) episodes that come close to capturing the spirit and humour of the first 7 / 8 seasons. I read on that Zombie Simpsons page that two highly rated "newer" ones are Trilogy of Error and Eternal Moonshine of the Spotless Mind. Any other recommendations, especially from more recent years? I'll go and watch them and tell you what I think.

This is indicated during the scene in the house which goes, HOMER Yes, that's me alright. And the guy standing next to me is President Gerald Ford. (pointing to the other photos) And this is when I was on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins. Oh! And here's a picture of me in outer space. GRIMES You? Went into outer space? You? HOMER Sure. You've never been? Would you like to see my Grammy award? (holds it up) Essentially, where do we, the writers, go from here?

I'm 17, I've been a massive fan of The Simpsons for as long as I can remember. I'm damn near sure I've watched every episode, probably multiple times at this point. But personally, I enjoy the newer episodes and I think The Simpsons as good as it's ever been. It's probably a bit "cleaner" and "politically correct" than it used to be, but The Simpsons was hardly an "edgy" show to begin with, so the small bit of controversial comedy that would occasionally show up is hardly something to miss. Although, it has been running for something like 24/25 seasons, without changing that much, any show that runs for that long is bound to become boring to all but the absolute biggest fans. However, it still has a great fanbase, I don't see why The Simpsons should be cancelled, not in the foreseeable future anyway.
