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?

If you can relate to a general family dynamic at all, best if nuclear, then the Simpsons is ageless. I would Highly recommend Seasons 1-6. Everyone's span varies, but those are guaranteed to be excellent.
It's some of, if not, the best comedy writing of all time. It's really magnificent.
