The Simpsons Season 19 (2007-2008)


New season begins this Sunday with an episode guest-starring Steven Colbert and Lionel Richie.

Looks like there has also been a revamp of theSimpsons.com. Looks pretty cool.

I know there are plenty of folks who say the show is a shell of what it once was, but I think the last 4 years or so have shown improvement over the period around season 10-11-12.

Is this season premiere a lot earlier than usual? I remember the season starting in October or November following the Halloween special in recent years.

It used to be that way but Seasons 17 and 18 both started in September too. Of course then Fox didn't play any new episodes during October for baseball.

I'm definitely a fan who thinks the show took a big dip after about S10 (though when I post about the current episodes, I try to highlight what was good about as opposed to being the Comic Book Guy) but I do think that the last few years have gotten better than the nadir of S12 to S15.

I liked that too... It was also refreshing to see a full title sequence on network television again. Well done.

...Then he was on a plane with Mr. Burns on another zany, unbelievable adventure and I changed the channel.

I loved the opening! A fun booster for having seen the movie

I've not watched the show much in recent years: this episode was fun, but not killer. I'll stick with my 11pm reruns, and watch the new season if convenient.

I thought tonight's episode was surprisingy good. Or maybe I just enjoy a good "Irish kiss" joke.

I thought the episode was ok. I did like the Youtube ending, and Bart beating up young Homer.
