Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!
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.
But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

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.

It is sad to me. The Simpsons is never going to get a definitive, dignified ending where it goes out on a high. It is just going to keep going on and on, slowly losing original bits and pieces. Swapping out a long time voice actor because the show has been going on so long that they aged out and retired is pretty depressing.
I actually wonder if this will be the beginning of the end.
We lost Edna a few years back and they retired her character. The voice change for Carl/Hibbert is noticable (Carl has gotten better, but Hibbert is still wrong). It's obvious Marge is getting older. Apu has been largely absent the past few seasons. Now Milhouse/Jimbo will need to be replaced.
The current season has been one of the strangest seasons by far, not necessarily in a bad way, but it's been a shift.
Last I heard, Apu was being removed because he's become a stereotype that's reaching into the racism spectrum.
Yeah I've watched the documentary and I understand where some folks are coming from, but I've also read the opposite. At this point the decision has been made and Hank Azaria isn't going to voice him anymore, so it's not a debate worth having. At this point Apu is gone and I doubt he'll be brought back.
Eh, I still enjoy it, although I do find it amusing how the family becomes more and more anachronistic and how they have to keep changing the decades flashbacks occur in as the show ages.
In the 90s, they did a flashback, and Homer/Marge were in high school inthe 1970s.
Now didn't they do one where they were in high school in like 2005?
Funnily enough, there’s an old episode that shows a class reunion in 2024 where Marge and Homer are really old.
The Simpsons addressed this themselves in 1992 in-show
The movie was supposed to be that ending. Funny thing too is the South Park movie was supposed to be the ending of that show.
Let us hope Family Guy doesn't get a movie.
Family Guy has always been a piece of shit
Eh......family guy could have ended after likd 6-7 seasons and it would have been fine. Aren't they on like season 25 now?
They were cancelled early. The comeback season was good at the time. I agree, If they ended it around 5 or 6 it would be fondly remembered.
