"The thing I like about it is compared to modern comedy cartoons the early Simpsons episodes are also lot more about telling a story rather than creating a plot to mainly just facilitate jokes. There will be lots of times where there are opportunities to have a character say something funny, and I expect it, but instead they say something meaningful. Also instead of ending on a funny note all the episodes end with a feel-good moment, though that's not to say it isn't ever funny too.\nOn a related note, I feel like I should be sad that Futurama got canceled again as its another of my all time favorites, but since it's come back it feels like just a caricature of itself. All the characters are just boiled down to their most recognizable traits and it's super full of 2010's pop culture references that just seem out of place. It also didn't have anything on par with the super strong episodes from the original run like Luck of the Fryrish, Jurassic Bark, or The Sting. The only one that was close was the one with the time machine. \n"
