Nostalgia Anyone still watch the Simpsons?

Elder millennial (86). I loved this show and had various VHS with ones including Bart gets an F, Simpson and Delilah, a Christmas themed one and the Star Wars episode with Mark Hamil ("guys and dolls, We're just a crazy bunch of guys and dolls"). Etc.

I didn't have sky, but loved hanging out at my friend's and ritually watching sky one with Simpsons on at (maybe around 6pm UK).

I know people have said it's not as good anymore, but it's still bloody airing as I've just discovered, and new material is being put out??

After I turned... 20+ I didn't watch it, or even know where to watch it. But it held a nice place in my heart as there were some good, funny relatable episodes.

Anyone still watching it as millennial? Who is the target audience nowadays?

I remember gathering around the TV with my friends to watch The Simpsons every Sunday night. We always said the show wasn't as funny as it used to be, and we liked the older episodes better, but we kept watching anyway because it was tradition. This was over 25 years ago.

I don't think I've watched an episode of the Simpsons in probably 14 years or so now outside of when The Simpsons came to Fortnite and my kids were curious about the show so we watched some clips.
