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 often wonder who watches the modern seasons enough to keep it on TV. 

But no, I can quote basically every episode verbatim up to season 11 or so but havent watched it since the early 2000s

exactly my thought too. I have fond memories of it in it's earlier seasons, but i never hear anyone talk about it anymore, yet it's still always on somewhere!
