The Simpsons used to be counter culture, like Married With Children it was meant to be a backlash against the stereotypical happy family portrayed by typical sitcoms of the era. The point of stereotypical characters in this series was to lampoon the stereotypes. Chief Wiggum was an obese, lazy, corrupt, doughnut munching cop. Barney is the stereotypical alcoholic. Comic Book Guy is literally named after the stereotype he's lampooning. I was unfortunate enough to catch the Star Wars special this year and couldn't stomach beyond a few minutes.

Yer agreed. I'm from the UK so only saw series 1-7 on TV as later seasons were bought by Sky TV in the UK and my parents didn't have a Sky subscription. I finally got to see the later seasons when they came out on DVD. I found that Season 9 was the first Season that had a few very bad episodes. Season 10 I became aware that the show had developed a split personality. Most episodes were of the old classic Season 1-9 style and good to great. But about 25-35% were of the new Mike Skully style that was bad. Season 11 was just 25% classic style good episodes 75% the new Mike Skully style bad episodes. Season 12 was 100% the new Mike Skully style of bad episodes. Season 11 contained the last very shallow dying breath of the Simpsons classic golden age style. By Season 12 it had 100% mutated into the massively inferior new Mike Skully style. Classic Simpsons had died. I never bought a Simpsons DVD after Season 12 and stopped watching the show and I sad had to accept that it had mutated into a totally different show from what it originally was a far inferior show that I didn't like and didn't want to watch.

The school was divided between the boys and girls. The boys continued to learn, but the girls only learned that numbers had feelings. Lisa was forced to disguise herself as a boy in order to get an actual education.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I wouldn't consider that one "great", but, yeah, they wouldn't do that one today. Another one they wouldn't do today was an episode where one of Marge's sisters was going to marry a female golfer named "Leslie Swisher". Marge accidentally walked into the bathroom and saw the golfer peeing standing up, revealing that he was actually a man. He wasn't good enough to play against other men, so disguised as a female so he could dominate women's golf. This was treated as a bad thing. Marge didn't want her sister to marry another woman, so didn't tell her what she'd found out until the last minute. So the then-woke pro-gay marriage episode is now "transphobic".

The guy who invented blackface was an abolitionist, who used it to convey the feelings of black people to those who might otherwise be closed-minded.

If you were to rank the simpsons characters in order of , say, socio economic status you might put put Barney at the bottom, Mr Burns at the top , Homer, Skinner, Carl, Sargent Lou, somewhere in the middle. Between the middle and the top you might have Apu, Dr Hibbert, Krusty. The point is, the Simpson’s never put their ethnic minority characters at low socio economic status. They’re average or above average. If the simpsons were trying to uphold outdated racist stereotypes then they weren’t doing a very good job of it. And that’s my two cents.

Mother: Regarding her husband as a child, being more representative, but by heard also a very simple person. Daughter: Hysterical, complicated... Son: A nerd and the parents often thinking he could be gay, because he is so "European", intellectual and different. This was strange to me, to speak french, playing piano or being good in science are for European people not the proof for being gay.
