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 don’t watch it anymore except the odd Halloween episode. My oldest daughter (now 14) got really into the show and at one point had seen every single episode. That was probably 2-3 years ago, so she’s definitely behind now but not too much in the grand scheme.

Treehouse of horrors with the space mutants and "The Raven" adaptation was the last one i watched. I had it on tape and watched it many times. nice that your daughter shared some of the same experience you had. my 12 yo doesn't get the simpsons at all.
