It was good. I really liked it. A lot of like classic Simpson's episodes. The storyline was really good. There were a lot of sad, touching, family moments to go with the humor. I laughed the entire time. Definitely worth seeing. :)

Worth seeing for any Simpsons fan... but some people have hyped it up to save the series.... I didn't see it.

I saw alot of the same mundane humor the show has provided for the past 6 or 7 years. When I watch my DVD's from the prime of the series in the mid 90's the writing was so much more wittier and clever.

I dunno.... 6/10 I guess.

I initially expected this... then when I saw all the great reviews I was like wow I was wrong...

Well I proved to myself that you should always go with your gut reaction :lol:

Really, I thought it was much better then the past few seasons have been. It was a little bit of everything the Simpsons are, or at least I thought so. I didnt really expect it to be Emmy caliber or anything, and it wasn't, but I thought everyone was much more in character then they have been in the past.

What parts where you let down by?

One of the major things I was let down is some of the shows most focal characters didn't have one line. Where were Marge's sisters? Principal Skinner and Edna? They have been focal characters for the entire show. Sure they were "seen" but in the background. And I just didn't find alot of the jokes all that funny. I mean... I enjoyed it and yes I'd probably buy the DVD just because I am a fan of the show and it wasn't a waste of time. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't fantastic either. I just left the theatre I guess expecting a bit more.

One thing you did say Kylie which is something that took it back to the glory days it that... it actually was focused around the Simpsons themselves and the relationships they have with each other. In the last 5 or 6 years.... so many episodes The Simpsons seem to be reduced to supporting characters....

I personally think they should have used this movie to end the tired series and have it go out with some preserved dignity. The more and more it goes on, the more and more it travels further away from the groundbreaking trend setting piece of television history it was. 1993-1998 was the show's peak.... by the turn of the decade you could tell the writers were clearly out of ideas and the episodes did not flow as good as they used too and jokes became forced and dumbed down....

The Simpsons has not been a trend setter for years.... and when that happened is when the show should have ended. I still love "The Simpsons" but hate what they have been reduced to.

I agree about the rest of the cast, yes. I would have liked to have seen more of them, but then again, that's a catch 22. If you focus to much on the other characters, it's not the same. I liked it the way it was because it was the Simpson's doing their thing. Without the prop from the other characters.

I think a big problem with the show is that it never channges in terms of time. Heck, Bart should be older then me and Lisa about my age. t's always just the same things with them. I'd maybe like to see them grow up a little.

I don't know. I liked it. LOL Thought it was much better then previous seasons and that it was back to what I liked most about the Simpsons. :)

      And so it's Andre and Ashley again? Why don't they go ahead and make something bad happen between them? I don't trust the stereotypical vibe. I don't.

      I guess neither Stephanie or Leo are ever going to investigate the gaping plot holes in the Bob-ette storyline.

      I do love that the episode ended with Kat exclaiming when she was alone "Gotcha!"

      It is amazing how everyone in GC just swaps partners and is instantly in love and their previous relationship never happened. All while everyone’s exes live in the same town and go to the exact same 4 places as each other.

      No to Andre/Ashley. I'm not sensing any connection. Kat is playing a dangerous game going against Silk Press Sheila.

      Today was definite a good episode day with surprising 1:1 scenes between Bill/Silk Press Sheila & SPS/Kat.  And the final long scene between SPS/Kat with the close ups and cliffhanger reminds me so much of old school P & G/Bell soaps. It fits since Judy Tate (script writer) wrote for P & G soaps for years and Zimmerman (breakdown writer) worked on both Bell soaps. I even liked the Ashley/Derek scenes only because it feels as if there is a point to the scenes (lead up to a break up perhaps).  Andre/Ashley having a scene tells me that the show is still testing them out.. and I think showing the growing disconnect between Derek/Ashley will eventually lead to the two possibly dating. NuTed.. he seems more humble and less boastful/confident than the previous Ted.  Perhaps the show felt the previous Ted couldn't play remorse/humble.. and they made the switch.  Time will tell. Lastly... it was a Dani free day

      Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread

      Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.

      The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
