    Did Moe ever get a cellphone in the later episodes? Was there a crazy wedding? Did Marge ever become a robot?

    You could argue that they've all become robots. Take that, most influential comedy of the past 40 years!

    They mentioned that as early as the second season I think, when Marge stopped them from watching Itchy & Scratchy, Lisa goes "If you take our cartoons away we'll become robots.", leading to Bart stating "Really, what kind of robots?"

    I like how they poked fun at FOX all the time. Do they still do that?

    In a few seasons, Homer Simpson will be a millennial.

    Not sure myself. When they did that joke, it was certainly back when they had shows like Married... with Children and often had that gung-ho attitude with their programming.

    Oh boy. I still miss that Baby Boomer way that he was.

    That "college in the 90s" episode had a lousy premise. Especially because there's already the "high school in the 70s" one.

    I'm sure I wasn't alone in facepalming at that whole "Oh yeah, Homer invented grunge rock" revelation from that episode...

    It's also unsettling how technology progresses but the kids never grow up.

    In the best episodes a cellphone was a big deal and the family didn't even have a computer (as pointed out by the Space Coyote). Now they probably all have smartphones, use social media, and watch flatscreen TVs.

    Probably a decent service provider deal as well (they couldn't even afford cable TV back in the second season).

    No biggie.. Honestly, we kind of need a break from the Prison Saga from time to time.

    Seeing how slow things move around here, and how few are here, I think what's "necroposting" is different here compared to a faster and more crowded place (like a certain farms of the kiwi).

    IDK why necros are considered such bad form on message boards anyway. If people wanna talk about a subject and there's already a thread, why not do it?

    I've been trying to watch more Simpsons recently, since circumstances prevented me from being able to since the 2000's. It hits differently trying to binge it on Disney+ though than catching an episode on TV.

    I think the show got stale after season 10 (when Phil Hartman died).

    There were a few good episodes right after, but within a few seasons, it became what I called "crappingly new" (this was before I heard of the term "Zombie Simpsons"). I didn't really like the movie (which still feels recent lol).

    Best Simpsons was after season 1 and before 9 or 10 maybe.
