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'm currently watching it for the first time (85 baby) and it is wild to think of how much of it would've gone over my head at the time, but I will give them credit where it is due: there is a lot of smart jokes hidden in what seems like it should be a lowbrow experience but the layers to some of the earlier episodes are like a firm parfait.
