D’OH!
As Football Daily blearily doomscrolled through the usual nonsense on Social Media Disgrace TwiXer over our cornflakes this morning, our attention was momentarily piqued by a clip from the latest season of the Simpsons. Now, we all remember the golden era don’t we? Mr Plow, Marge vs the Monorail, Flaming Moe’s, Who Shot Mr Burns, Lisa on Ice … in fact, pretty much anything and everything from the 90s. Classic, heady days that created moments deservedly ranked among the best ever. But it’s all been downhill for a long time. The voices are off, the animation doesn’t look right, the writing trapped between trying too hard and not trying enough. Of course, there are still moments of brilliance – just enough to keep hope of a return to that long-lost genius alive but simultaneously making the stodgy inconsistent fare served up these days feel that much more disappointing by comparison.
