Bart's Birthday

The Simpsons should continue instead of ending, as its unique blend of nostalgia and modern humor keeps it relevant. While its golden era is cherished, the show still has potential to create new iconic moments. Ending now would lock it into the past, but continuing allows for fresh stories that can engage both longtime fans and new audiences. The show's satire remains sharp, and its beloved characters still have room to evolve. By moving forward, The Simpsons can balance its rich history with new content, ensuring it remains a lasting part of television culture.

I prefer the show to keep going rather remember it with nostalgia.

It's a criticism of about series, finales, and AI and has one of my favorite lines in all of The Simpsons. It was a very good series premiere. Overall, very great episode one of my favorites in all of The Simpsons 31 year run absolute masterpiece of an episode. Would recommend to anyone who is a fans .

I didn't expect this season premiere to be amazing. However, it was a lot better than I expected it to be. The beginning of the episode was not great, and I feel like it lasted way too long. I feel like shows using AI/modern technology in an episode is overused. But this time it...worked? At least it wasn't as awful as other shows and episodes I have seen where AI is an important part to the story. There were solid jokes through the entire episode, and I loved how they did the end of the episode after Bart falls on the cake.

Overall, it is a great start to the season. Makes me have high hopes for the next few episodes.

I'm sorry, but this episode was terrible.

Before I talk about the episode, I just want to mention that the animation of the show is also very bad nowadays, it went from pretty stilted, to just weird and unnatural looking, like it feels so off looking.

Now onto why I think the episode is pretty terrible.

I get they wanted to trick fans into thinking it would be "The Last Ever Simpsons Episode" while they parody sitcom finales, and jab at how soulless AI is. But it didn't really work for me, mainly because I don't really like how meta these episodes of the show are written, it's a gimmick I feel is overused now to make people talk about the series again.

A lot of scenes in this episode feel like they want to make you go "OH, I REMEMBER THAT CHARACTER/CELEBRITY!" from a past episode, it's not fun, it's really just nostalgia bait.

Overall, I'm not a fan of this episode, if you enjoy it, then good for you.

This is the most meta episode to date and I'm really happy with how it came out, and it's definitely going down as my all time favorite in the modern era. I have gotten more laughs out of this than any of the latest episodes (which have been decent and heartwarming, don't get me wrong! But they were missing witty writing moments that could've elevated the episodes).

This episode has everything I missed about older era episodes. Actually witty and relevant commentary, brilliant satire and parodies on predictable TV tropes, and it never had a single boring moment. Everything was quotable also. And more importantly, out of all the headliner episodes this one was the funniest viewer engagement bait episode by far. Awesome episode overall!
