please end it

I wonder what it's like for gen alpha to watch a show that's still running that was airing 20 years before they were born.
>>151853326Homer and marge were kids in the 60s and teens in the 70s i hate that these talentless fucks keep moving it up in time. Matt I hate you, you gay ass freemason.
>what if Lisa found Marge's clothes from the 90sholy fuck, this is beyond beyond beyond out of ideas.
>>151853581>>151853589Don't worry anons, we're slowly approaching yet another timeline shift where Homer and Marge's teens were in 2000s.
>>151853553
>>151853326>tfw born the same year Simpsons started and dread the day they inevitably get cancelled
>>151853651I meant the "nothing ever ends" panel, but that counts too.
>>151853669Your fates are intertwine. For one to die, the other must also take its final breath. You are innocent in this, but to slay the beast, you too must fall. I'm sorry for want needs to be done.
>>151853651Did anyone see the movie 'Tron'?
>>151853724I......I understand......
>>151853742No
>>151853742No.
>>151853742No....
>>151853625Is abe still a ww2 vet or did they retcon that too
>>151853742Yes.........no, no wait, no i didnt
>>151853326>1989-2025 Why are the Simpsons producers so GREEDY?
>>151853326They need to reverse this retcon shit
>>151853326No one's forcing you to watch it you know
>vintage>from the 90s
>>151853742Does playing the flash game 20 years ago count?
>>151853326Simpsons wa never endo...
>vintage>90soh no no nonono
>>151853625>where Homer and Marge's teens were in 2000s.
>>151853326keep it going. Long enough it'll beat Sazae-san. And be remembered for a different reason.
>>151855387>>151855661Consider what was vintage in the 90s, and how long ago the 90s were.
>>151855722Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>151853625By decade's end, Bart will have been conceived as a Lockdown Baby.
>>151855748It gets worse. The clothes in question were fashions coming from a Dawson's Creek parody. So we're talking LATE 90s.
>>151853326>Lisa and Bart discover Marge's old tiktok account, where she danced like a slut
>>151855836Man made horror beyond your comprehension
>>151855709Sazae-san has the benefit of being more like a newspaper comic strip. Outside of maybe how characters are dressed, what decade the story happens in is non-consequential. Meanwhile, the Simpsons made specific moments anchored in time.
When did The Simpsons end for you? For me it was the 2007 movie, I've only seen snippets of episodes made after that and they look really bad.
>>151856055I know it's a common sentiment but I really do see Behind the Laughter as the "end" of the show. Seasons 9 - 11 aren't quite as good as the golden age but are still funny in their own rights, and imagining the show ended there means that it still would have kept some degree of dignity. Plus just the structure of the episode feels like a decent way to end it.
>>151856055Like most animated series, the movie is and will always be the finale.
>>151853865How far removed was 1945 from the present day when Simpsons premiered? 40ish years? How much longer until Abe could have served in the first Gulf War?
>>151856150I mean homer would have been born mid to late 50s, childhood in the 60s teenage in the 70s married late 70s, bart is 10 so in if it started in 89 hed have to of been born 79., thats grim
>>151853573I think it's normal for them. There are no major franchises which were created during Gen Alpha's lifetimes except arguably Bluey. From their point of view, almost all pop culture is stuff from previous generations, because Hollywood will never let anything popular die.
If you don't watch The Simpsons anyway then why do you care if they end it or not? It's not like it makes a difference in your life.
>>151854766Money is money
>>151853573Probably in the same way Gen Z and Millennials viewed old Popeye or MGM cartoons, it was just another cartoon on TV. At the time, I didn’t realize it was older; I assumed it was contemporary and had been made around the same year I was watching it. Since it was new to me, I thought it was new in general. For kids, the concept of “the past” doesn’t really exist yet.
>>151856666Satan+ is right. Growing up watching stuff like Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry was just part of the routine with me. Having Cartoon Network on the air showing pretty much those entire catalogs made those characters a staple of my childhood
hahaha it will never end.
>>151853326>90s>vintageAnyone else feeling old?
>>151856666Quads of truth. I plotzed when I learned that Tweety and Sylvester originated in the 1940s.
>>151853589It wasn't a bad episode tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no1vf854aUc
>>151853326That was a good episode though.
