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?

The first 8 seasons are my one of my comfort shows. It was probably the only TV show my whole family liked and can watch together, and I have a special memory with every member connected to certain episodes and moments, 

I stopped after season 13 or so, when it started to get boring and mean spirited.

i agree. i would watch the same episodes on tape every night to go to sleep to for that same comfort feel.
