They had a couple strong seasons roughly 10 years ago IMO. Good enough to keeping me watching again consistently for a few years. Then one day I realized that we were 5 episodes into a season and every single episode had been an alternate universe style episode. Like, oh hey, this week’s episode is The Simpsons but it’s a spaghetti western for absolutely no reason and with no explanation.
I remember asking my wife it she could remember the last time we actually saw Homer at the power plant. Did he still work there? Did he finally get permanently fired and this season represents his decent into madness as he realizes there’s no coming back this time? Or maybe he never worked there and I’m the one who’s gone crazy.
