Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Do you watch every episode, or do you stop at a certain season? (self.thesimpsons)

I’ve never quite gotten into The Simpsons myself, but never object to an episode when I randomly come across it.

I know there’s a lot of talk that after x season the show is basically over, but I’m curious what everyone here thinks. Do you watch and enjoy every episode and season? Are there seasons you would skip or stop watching entirely?

Just curious how people here feel about such a long-running show.

So the "golden era" ends around season 13.

Those first 13 seasons are also what I watched the most growing up.

However I still want the show week to week (usually batch up a few and watch a couple of weeks together).

While the show isn't as great as its golden era, it's still solid.

A few friends and I made a goal a few years back to watch every episode. It took many years, and we jumped around at random. There are plenty of great episodes in the "bad" era.
