Oh, that makes plenty of sense too. I have ad blockers on (one of the best creations since 2000, to be honest), so I get locked out. Simpsons World is pretty cool. I actually own every DVD set up until 17! It's sad they stopped, but at least there's an official digital library and several free apps. You cannot say the same about Looney Tunes (and god, I love Looney Tunes). After Warner Brothers completed their sixth tremendously produced Golden Collection, they had a couple of fifteen short DVDs with each character, decreasing in quality over time (less special features, more recent non-classic cartoons) to the point that series stopped as well. A few "Platinum Collection" sets where there were five new cartoons compared to forty-five that previously existed in sets and now they are in limbo. They really need to just post the entire library online, with the Censored shorts too.

I am with you about the show these days. I watch, but it's not easy to like it. This goes for every show. You like the old episodes or the episodes that premiered in your youth/era of watching the shows. Over time, the quality gets worse, while others think this is the best period of the show. Anyways, this season hasn't been bad! It really hasn't! They have been on a slow increase in quality for about four or five years now. No way they get back to where they were in the 1990s, but they are at least trying. With that said, they should have cancelled the series after season 25 or even 30, but it's a money maker. Go figure.

Agreed on season eleven. The middle of that season in particularly was pretty cringeworthy. That's when they started to lose all steam and forgot how to write a quality episode.

I also agree on your point with Edna. Just the way they handled it was poorly, but the way they approached it afterwards was very solid. Edna was a tremendous part of the show. She was Bart's teacher after all. They had Skinner fill in over the next season, before introducing Sofia Vegara (IIRC)'s character. She seems solid, but we have had like two or three episodes of her. I'm interested to see more of her. It's been years since they actually introduced meaningful characters. Twenty years, going back to Cletus and Crazy Cat Lady.
