In the event that the United States completely implodes and collapses in on itself, you gotta admit, those first 8 seasons of The Simpsons were a pretty good contribution to the world.

It’s where it pivots though. I forget the show runners name that took over and I’m not gonna look it up but you could definitely feel the change and it was a downgrade.
I don't know if it's down to showrunner or the fact they lost Greg Daniels and Brent Forrester after Season 7 (after losing Sam Simon and Conan and some others after Season 4). Plus Jon Vitti didn't write anything in Season 8.
Also one of my favorites. George Meyer is one of the best (if not the best) Simpson's writers. (Flanders sighing before jumping out of the second floor window and bouncing back into the house.)
I think he's the one who came up with
"Hey you, let's fight
Them's fightin' words"
Another Simpsons Clip Show was a dud. Typical clip show fare, disappointing compared to the one that preceded it (So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show) and the one that followed (The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular), which were both masterfully done. Still an excellent 6 season streak!
There will be an entire field of study in other countries after our collapse dedicated entirely to determining which season it was when The Simpsons officially stopped being good.
Season 11 had the Behind the Laughter episode which I remember being the last funny episode I've seen. But the writing was more than on the wall by then
How does the United States end? Nukes? Trump leveling Austin, and NOLA a la Kharkiv? Maybe another plague that half the nation doesn't mask for? Climate change takes our hint to accelerate and turns America into a flotilla? Russia annexes us as its 22nd republic?
In Neal Stephenson's futuristic novel 'Snow Crash,' the country's main contributions to the world are acknowledged to be Hollywood movies and very fast pizza delivery.
I am really going to miss wide rural parking lots in towns that died with the steel industry boasting cracked pavement with scattered grass and weeds reaching upwards toward a starry sky encased in the silhouettes of conifers
Omg. Seriously. My husband’s way to cope with the election results is he went mute and then simply got out a bunch of The Simpsons dvd sets and started watching them.
I don't think the U.S. will implode. But rather it will fracture, possibly into five smaller independent countries, each with their own social stratus and ethnic composition. This will take a few decades, meanwhile under TrumpleThinSkinSphincterLips the fracturing will have begun.
as much as some people would love that , a lot of folks would dread it - if the united states implodes and collapses , it will be the dawn of world war 3 , both in europe and asia - as peace and security heavily relies on the US. - Just saying this hypothetically
If it does, I really hope you all take out some of those billionaires that have been orchestrating this crap for decades. Without that kind of money none of this shit happens.
Yeah the only good thing that came out of the Tracy Ullman Show. I mean amongst my friends The Simpsons short come up with the only reason we tuned in and once they played it. We turned it off
I feel like Futurama might have actually aged worse than 90s Simpsons. Not disparaging it, those first 4 seasons really do have some GREAT episodes, but there's also some jokes that just really suck when you rewatch them now

But as Marge might say, it's a rich tapestry.

Why did America decide to model itself after a chatoic reign for the first 300 years of it's run is beyond me.
I'm trying to decide how to dress.

And maybe fruit punch with vodka in it
My absolute favorite is the one where they steal Shelbyville's lemon tree.
