i'm picturing an Armageddon-type scenario where a ragtag team of average joes gets shot into space in a desperate last ditch attempt to save The Simpsons' 27th season
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link
i really don't believe anyone proposing some kind of 'experimental' direction for the simpsons would actually watch and enjoy episodes like that if they were actually done
why not? i mean i havent seen a new episode in at least a year probs more but if i heard it got interesting id def watch it again

anyway honoring the shows legacy is the problem you arent a good writer if yr a slave

prob would just alienate the weirdos who actually still watch it more than get a new audience
― iatee, Friday, 30 December 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
a spinoff would be a better way to do it I think, nothing to lose w/ a spinoff

wasnt there some article about how like the diehard simpson maniacs who were filling up content on snpp.com just slowly stopped?
I really think the Simpsons audience is under 21s who dont really know any better, like the same way we watched Cheers or Married With Children into their dire last seasons
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Friday, 30 December 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link
did Cheers really fall off that much? i haven't seen enough reruns in way too long to remember, but i always had the sense it at least had about as good an 11th season as any show that got that far
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Friday, 30 December 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
snpp.com's content stopped some years back but Usenet's demise is probably to blame there, as thats's where all the content and discussion came from.

Futurama, Home Movies, The PJs...
1999-2000 was literally the last time anyone debuted a prime time animated cartoon that wasn't pure steaming diharrea.

You should try Regular Show which has been reasonably good lately and was really on when it first started.There's a few good shows on tv now that basically are animation with live action actors: workaholics, sunny, modern family. single camera modern gonzo comedy sans laugh tracks might just as well be cartoons in my mind
― Dranke, the German Drake Impersonator (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:13 (twelve years ago) link
some dude, can do me a solid and rank these 12 shows from "just dogshit terrible" to "you should basically kill yourself if you watched more than one episode of this"
The Goode Family, Sit Down Shut Up, Allen Gregory, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Bob Burger, God The Devil and Bob, Sammy, Game Over, Gary & Mike, The Oblongs and Baby Blues
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:37 (twelve years ago) link
i guess include The Archer in there too
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:38 (twelve years ago) link
and yeah, Archer is actually quite good though i know you don't like it.Also Venture Bros dude! Maybe not prime time enough for you but cmon
― Dranke, the German Drake Impersonator (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:39 (twelve years ago) link
Venture Brothers is on cable dogg

The one episode of Archer was so fucking bad i almost punched a hole in my television
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:45 (twelve years ago) link
archer seems like the sort of show youd find really funnie although i guess the whole smirking sketch troupe absurdism contains too many lol cultural references or s.thing?
― tumblr wights (є(٥_ ٥)э), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:48 (twelve years ago) link
of the shows you list ive only seen 'american dad' and 'the oblongs' and they both totally sucked
― tumblr wights (є(٥_ ٥)э), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:49 (twelve years ago) link
Archer is offender number one of this new shitwave of "comedy" where there's literally three jokes
• "I have to drop a deuce" --wacky way of saying something dirty with no actual punchline• "What do you mean she's the black one? --acknowledging racisim exists = a joke• "yeah, in my dookchute maybe" [long blank stares signifying discomfort]--he TOTALLY WENT THERE and it was SO OUT OF CHARACTER

does david cross do a voice on archer i cant remember
― tumblr wights (є(٥_ ٥)э), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:50 (twelve years ago) link
I would sooner watch American Dad than fucking Archer
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:51 (twelve years ago) link
even though cross does like chipmunk movies for the scrilla, i gotta give him props for keeping it real in the comedy world while his old pal odenkirk lovingly bathes the balls of every sub-Tim&Eric LollegeHumor.com Nintendo Andy Kauffmann hackathon imaginable
― uncle bannmee who can recall his past logins (dealwithit.gif), Saturday, 31 December 2011 07:53 (twelve years ago) link
ive only seen three episodes of archer but most of it seemed p rooted in like sketch comedy caricatures where they just keep exaggerating the characters worst quality for jokes? i mean i guess that ends up being the sorta OH I JUST WENT THERE stuff but like i think the characters are the jokes

that's a pretty good reading, (є(٥_ ٥)э), it really is like post-Family Dad JOKES TO THE EXTREME. it really makes these shows cold to me when like everyone acts like a NC-17 characature of a human and there's no straight ppl to bounce it off of. It's like if everyone on South Park was Cartman.

a season long simpsons arc that had none of the 4 family members (maggie is still aiight in my book) would be the best thing ever imo. (if it had decent writers, none of the people currently involved in the simpsons and didn't suck.) have smithers uncover shady dealings at the plant, try to get wiggum and quimby involved, some funny stuff involving lenny and carl, as it all comes to a head, burns suddenly has a heart attack/maggie shoots him, turns out disco stu was walter white all along etc.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 14:38 (twelve years ago) link
btw - david cross has been in archer. and pretty much everything else (heard him on aqua teen hunger force the other night). i wouldn't exactly call him the model of comedy integrity.
― Mordy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 15:08 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno if there is anyone i'd call the model of comedy integrity. louie ck maybe, if you go for that sort of thing.

pulled a d33j and skimmed the thread. resume.
who cares if it's """prime time"""" a show either exists or it doesn't. cartoons generally aren't to begin w/ cause they're cartoons.
― iatee, Saturday, 31 December 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
I do think that Adult Swim got oversaturated with extremely mediocre adult cartoons with retarded bizarre concepts over the last 5 years, but that's as obvious a point as saying 13 year old kids like pictures of boobs.
― if you ain't gonna wash it, i ain't gonna eat it, Saturday, 31 December 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
