    How’s American Dad these days? I remember Season 1 and bits of Season 2 were genuinely funny and mostly based around caricatures of the american conservative. Then I had to stop watching because later seasons started to get more insensitive and “bothsidesy”.

      The first 10 maybe 15, 20 is stretching it seasons of the simpsons were alright, parts of them genuinely good. Why we’ve continued another 20 years with lesser writers and low quality slop is beyond me…

        because enough people are watching and animation is cheaper to do than a single camera or three camera 22 minute sitcom

          animation is cheaper

          Only because we underpay animators, especially in other countries. Places like Akom which does The Simpsons, for example.

            With 25% tariffs on South Korea, maybe The Simpsons will be onshored… and end up looking like Dr Katz

            100%. it’s an exploitatative industry. one that gives us incredible works of art, but an exploitative industry nonetheless

    Will Fox at least give Bob’s Burgers a coherent airing schedule? Or did the writer’s strike cause this?

    Season 14 episode 13 aired in May 2024, but the last three episodes didn’t air till September. Then immediately afterwords the following week they premiered season 15.

    Curious to see if/how this will affect American Dad. I feel like they’ve been crushing it on TBS.

    So much for the theories that the current one would be the last FOX season for the Simpsons

        Their opening episode this season was an in-universe “final episode” with Bart fighting against the changes. But it didn’t have a clear date.

        Yeah but that’s not a new show. That’s trying to revive a dated show that only worked for its time period.

        It didn’t work for Beavis and Butt-Head for too long. It didn’t work for Celebrity Deathmatch.

      Agreed but Fox is always like this with their shows. Most of the good ones started on Comedy Central or Adult Swim.
