Hey Eyz! Whatcha gonna watch this season? -2011-12 Edition-
It's time for this year's planning of TV shows.
To watch or not to watch... Following one show too many...?
Well, I can't answer that to you. Some believe there's good and bad shows out there. I simply say, to each their own. Sure, reality TV continue to survive for example, despite how bad it's gotten over the years, but it still is watched by Billions of people (with an Uppercase 'B') over the world! You can't judge the quality of a show by its rating, that's what producers do. Just look what you think will entertain you!
I can decide for you, I don't know what you guys and gals like. So here is like last year my own selection, the TV series I will watch for the 2011-2012 season!
First up, the shows that are missing the call.
I decided to pull the plug on Chuck. Sure, I liked the characters (at least some of them), and even if the first two Seasons went downhill during Season 3 the 4th one last year started great...but the show can't decide if it wants to be a generic soap for teens, a science fiction-ysh take on the spy genre or a comedy... I mean, most episodes of Season 3 and 4 (besides the strong good couple of episodes at the start of both seasons) were about Chuck's feelings or his sister crying all of her screen-time!!
Boring, annoying... Blah!
(I wish it had Reaper that had continued, as the "lazy young adult, that can't decide his own path for his future, gets powers to face evil each week, along with best pal, and gets the girl at the end of the day" show)
Also, Undercovers, J.J. Abrams last recent show got cancelled way too early in my eyes. It started far away from the mysteries à la Lost, and was a more reality grounded Alias...but the characters took too much time developping, which seems to have bored and scared the audience away...
Too bad... I liked it, more so than Chuck for that matter, as a "spy" show.
And The Cape got canceled too.
But unlike recent similar shows that got canceled on their first seasons these last couple of years *cough*Journeyman*cough*, it will be released on DVD! Good thing, I'll be sure to get it^^
At the end of the day, despite haters making a bad rep to the Cape, it was a genuinely fun pulp superhero show. With a sort of similar vibe to The Flash in the early 90s. I liked it!
And finally Batman: The Brave and The Bold is over now!
After a long (but not enough) run, it had some true gems in there! And it was a great showcase of the entire DCU, featuring old school interpretations of characters like this show's take on Superman, Silver Age obscure characters like Kamandi or B'wana Beast and even some more recent elements from our good ol' Post-Crisis DCU with Jaimes Reyes!Blue Beetle, the JLI or Guy Gardner. If only it could continue, maybe with a name change retitled as "The Brave and The Bold" simply?...
Now, let's have a look at the things I'll be watching~
Can't wait enough for Season 4 of Castle to start soon!
I've been watching this show since day 1, and I just love it!
Nathan Fillion, the tone of the show, the light fun yet realistic police stories... Reminds me of Monk from a couple years back. But much better I have to say.
Last Season ended in such an epic fashion, lies, deceptions, treachery and death! Best cliff-hanger in years!
And here it is!
One of the two new shows that will start soon, by J.J. Abrams and the team at Bad Robotos
Person of Interest.
Lost's own Ben Linus teams up with an "hobo" to fight crime, using an amazing supercomputer that can predict the future... Sounds promising!
Meanwhile, Fringe will be well on the way of its 4th Season now!
Approaching a resolution?
(I dunno for you but my ideal for a run of a series, as I always say, it should be around ~5 seasons. not too short nor dragging on like those long running shows like Friends and co..)
What will happen to the world now that Peter combined both alternate universes and seems to have erased himself?!?
And the other new show from Abrams & Bad Robots I mentioned above is Alcatraz. Starting for mid-replacement in 2012.
Lots of talent involved on this one!
I mean, they got Jurassic Park's Sam Neill in here! And even Lost fans favorite Jorge Garcia!
Speaking of which, Steven Spielberg's dino show will also start this month!
Terra Nova will be about a bunch of people traveling back to the past to, errr..., escape pollution in the future by living in the far off past along dinosaurs. I think. Well it sounds messy so far but we'll see how this turns out!
I'm specially watching this because they'll be reusing sets and props from the Jurassic Park movies :P
Meanwhile, my favorite dinosaur-show (sorry Terra Nova, the spot's already taken!) just finished airing its 5th season recently in the UK.
Yep, Primeval only airs in Summer. I still need to catch on those, since the departure of character Nick Cutter from the show, and after some lackbuster episodes, the show was able to find ground and get progressively back to form.
I did not like at all how the first Season of The Walking Dead ended up in such a clumsy lackbuster out of place finale episode, containing both an explanations for the Virus' origin. The way it explained you can't cure it and whatnot. (I much prefer the mystery surrounding it be it in the comic book or in George Romero's "Of The Dead" movies... defining it take that goal off the survivor's mind..which could offer such great story arcs in later Walking ired director/exectuve producer Frank Darabont from the show due to "creative differences". Big loss for them, losing this award winning director and fan of the series... I fear what they're gonna do this season...
The SyFy block now!
Warehouse 13 is airing its Season 3 currently already :D
I just love Warehouse 13, and it's only been getting better over the time! "Newguy" Jinks is a sort of hit and miss. He's kinda funny sometimes, I love it when the others take advantage or make fun of the guy, and he's got a good alchemy with other characters, but he's kinda odd and always sticking out of the group. Plus his "human lie detector"-thing going on is kinda boring...and when they drop it, it's even worse because it got you thinking "Hey?! Wasn't he s'pposed to notice XYZ was lying??"...
Great show anyway!
SyFy already announced the end of Eureka, but I say it's not a reason to panic!
Despite good ratings, the show will be ending soon. It is currently airing its 4th Season, we'll even get a Christmas episode in December.
And then in 2012, the show will wrap up in Season 5.
At least, there's great new shows on SyFy currently.
Like Stephen King inspired show Haven. Fully of little trivia references and pretty similar in tone to both Eureka and Warehouse 13.
The question is, will they also have a Christmas episode and will Haven cross over any of the other shows at some point? :P
And finally there's Syfy latest kid on the block, Alphas.
A show I have to admit, I did not like at all! But the characters kinda grew on me. (not all of them though..)
It looked like another generic superhero gritty show playing the "Hey! We're realistic! We don't have costumes and are more grounded in today's world"-card.
The weakest part of the show...I kinda wish it had more humour like the above three shows. It is trying so much to be serious...
The Office will start with its 8th Season (wooah? already? So many years gone by..) without Steve Carrell.
Can't wait to see how this turns out, though from experience, when TV shows lose their main character/one of the principal actors, it usually goes downhill...
Will it survive long?
I propose more Rainn Wilson to boost the ratings!
MythBusters started its 2011 season a bit earlier this summer.
It's still remains one of the best programs on TV ever!
They've been exploring fan requests (and interaction) more and more over the years.
As for cartoons, Lucasfilm promise a great fun new season for Star Wars: Clone Wars!
The thick of the war is happening! And Anakin is slowly shaping into a Sith!
Also, Admiral Ackbar cameon in the new episodes!
The Looney Tunes Show is going through some solid episodes lately. I've loved the show since day one, let the (fewer each day) haters hate. As a long time huge Looney Tunes fan, I've been through various interpretations of characters, be it the lazy Hannah Barbera-ysh episodes in the 70s. And there's been worse, much woooorse *cough*Baby Looney Tunes/Loonatics Unleashed*cough*.
This cartoon kinda features them as we'd seen them a bit in the movie Space Jam, living in the suburbs, altogether.
Despite the tone or the formula of the episodes, they're splendidly in-characters. With a Daffy as silly, crazy and jerk-y as ever.
The musical parts have been okay. Some pretty good, and other bad. Though I can't like the CGi 3D segments of Wile E. Coyote... I tried.. But it's so bad.. at least it doesn't ruin the episodes much and are pretty forgettable.
Not much is known about the upcoming 2nd season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Only that it will be more influenced by the upcoming Joss Whedon Avengers live movie.
Such as Iron Man and Captain America costumes getting redesigned, Nick Fury turning into Samuel L. Jackson.. Oh and Skrulls.
And more Avengers will join the roster, it seems Miss Marvel and Vision will be part of the team.
The amazing relaunched Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is taking a hiatus, they will take a year to produce new episodes. It wasn't canceled! :)
"And traps will be better~"
I love ThunderCats!
Wait, no... I actually never liked much the ThunderCats. But since this new cartoon, I can proudly say, I'm now a fan of the series!
The episodes are already running currently since it started not long ago. Love the mix of scifi and magic, it really shows the ones that are making it at Warner Bros animations were long time fans, unlike the people behind the badly animated/written original "toys cartoon" that was the classic. They're even making scene of most of the concepts behind the series!
Young Justice: Invasion, that is the name of the second season of Young Justice, which not much is known of at this moment, and it will air in early 2012.
There's gonna be a brand-new Spider-man cartoon, called (and adapted from) Ultimate Spider-man.
Yes, another retelling of his early days as Spidey. I wish they had continued the previous "Spectacular" cartoon.
Oh well.
And it won't follow the current Ultimate Spider-man comics, nor the original one either, but it's its own original product (though following some ideas from here and there). And yes, it was "improvised" as marketing material for the upcoming rebooted movie so it will air in 2012 alongside the movie.
(and it looks like Spidey will be working with/along the help of SHIELD's Nick Fury!?!)
Don't miss out next year the all new Green Lantern: The Animated Series!
Part of me wants to skip it, it looks bland, generic, ugly CGi models, badly animated, etc..
But it's also GL, so I want to give it at least a little look. It does look straightly aimed to kids moreso than other comic book adaptations usually.
Still, it looks pretty bad at the moment, hope they can polish this before it airs! (right now, it looks worse than some 32-bits games cinematics...)
Futurama's finishing its 6th Season today actually!
Season 7 will start around somewhere in 2012.
The longest running show ever, The Simpsons, will start Season 23 later this month!
Some hate it, some love it, both still continue to watch it after all this time for some reason...
I'd say, we're already been through the worst episodes, around Season 20 when it got a bit boring and repetitive. But these last two seasons have been great, much so than some earlier ones.
They made me love the Simpsons all over again with some very original and fun episodes!
Also, don't miss next year the historic 500th episode!! (Holy Cow!!! That much already?!)
Robot Chicken will continue airing in October! Finally! Not soon enough!
Why do they make all those long breaks in-between...wait! Oh, yes. Stop motion, it looks beautiful but takes a lot of time...
Currently missing from the lineup are the Venture Bros. They announced the show had been renewed for seasons 5 and 6, with pre-production to begin in June 2011 though. But no news regarding any dates so far.
Also there's that other CGi animated DC cartoon, an upcoming new "Batman: Animated Series". No news on that front though.
And that is all...
That's already a lot if you ask me :P
So, what will YOU watch this season? Any of those above might interest you? What other shows will you follow, any good recommendations?
Make yourself heard, drop me a word!
To watch or not to watch... Following one show too many...?
Well, I can't answer that to you. Some believe there's good and bad shows out there. I simply say, to each their own. Sure, reality TV continue to survive for example, despite how bad it's gotten over the years, but it still is watched by Billions of people (with an Uppercase 'B') over the world! You can't judge the quality of a show by its rating, that's what producers do. Just look what you think will entertain you!
I can decide for you, I don't know what you guys and gals like. So here is like last year my own selection, the TV series I will watch for the 2011-2012 season!

Boring, annoying... Blah!
(I wish it had Reaper that had continued, as the "lazy young adult, that can't decide his own path for his future, gets powers to face evil each week, along with best pal, and gets the girl at the end of the day" show)

The Simpsons - The Year's First Peach
People tend to say the Simpsons aren't what they were anymore and that the show sucks since these last couple of years, but apart from a pretty poor 20th Season, I've been liking the recent seasons moreso than, say, Season 10 for example.
Here's a neat musical segment featuring Jack McBrayer (Kenneth from 30 Rock) as the "Peach Song" singing guy:
Enjoy this amazing catchy song!~

Hey Eyz! Whatcha gonna watch this season?
I'm a big fan of TV shows.
Nowadays even more than movies. (specially since most movie writers aren't what they used to be anymore.. it's adaptation after adaptation after sequel after remake... you get the point!)
As you can see, in my list of 15 favorite tv shows ever, I'm specially a fan of everything science-fiction-esque and other funny things...
Here's my list of stuff I will watch this 2010-2011 season~
This year, despite the absence of Lost, or other favorites of mine of these last years (Reapers, My Name is Earl, Everybody Hates Chris...) I have quite a lot to watch and follow up.
I try to mostly watch stuff I really like (and not, like, stuff that everybody talks about or really "hyped" - I never watched 24, Prison Break, Heroes...), entertaining stories and original things.
Not a fan of Reality TV, NOT AT ALL.
I'm not a fan of thrillers, NCIS/CSI-type of shows ...
Also, I've been following lots of cartoons again lately.
Anyway, here goes:
This year will mark Chuck's season 4.
I remember starting this alongside Reaper. I prefered Reaper, now I only have Chuck left..
When Chuck's good, it's great, fun and original. When it isn't..it's pretty bad...
There's been too much drama the last times with Chuck.. I hope S4 tries its best to keep me following it! The concept IS fun!
Geek gets a "super computer" burnt in his brain and can download information as well as abilities.
Castle is a fantastic detective series, in the same style as Monk.
It has Firefly's Nathan Fillion plus several Joss Whedon references (due to "recurring writers").
I really dig this show! The episodes are never dull nor repetitive.
And even the book (with a second one coming soon) "written by Castle" published last year was well received!
Rick Castle, the famous writer, tags along with the NYPD to solve crimes.
Undercovers is the new show produced under J.J.Abrams Bad Robot studio. Since Lost is no more, there's a new show starting out right away.
The pilot will be directed by Abrams.
It will a bit more similar to Alias than Lost or Fringe (but I guess it will go quickly into scifi/surnatural like all 3 other shows)
A married couple of secret agents undercovers goes back to their spy roots.
Fringe will enter its 3rd season already!
It will be a 22 episodes-long season.
It will continue the alternate universe-storyline from last season's ending..so be sure to have least watched some of it before starting this one.
It's quietly growing into my favorite show~
A special division of the government is charged to find out and stop strange "fringe-science" anomalies.
The american version of the show The Office will start its 7th season!
That's a lot of seasons!
There's been some bad in the past..but also some great stuff too...
So I'll be happy to have more of it.
The day and life of a paper company in Scranton.
Okay, not a "show", as in plot and characters development, but still entertainment.
Mythbusters will be back, after a long break and some recut episodes airing this summer.
I always love watching any episode, even rewatching some.
Always fun to watch Jamie exploding stuff...or Adam exploding stuff...you get the idea~
A documentary-experimenting type of show from the Discovery Channel. Every week, a team of special effects-guys, and a gal, try to confirm or bust urban myths,
Starting this season, the adaptation of a classic graphic novel by Robert Kirkman, the Walking Dead, will hit tv!
I have great hopes for this!
Rick, a cop, wakes up in a world destroyed by zombies after an accident.
One of my favorite recent British shows, Primeval had a great first season that made me a fan in a couple of minutes. Then a fantastic well improved second season. Then a very bad 3rd season... :(
(why would anyone **** the main character!!!.... -sigh-)
Now it will be back thanks to an international collaboration with foreign TV channels. (Germany, Canada..)
Will this bring Primeval to the epic level of epicness the former seasons had?!
Portals through time started appearing all over the world, dinosaurs and other primitive monsters are wrecking havok in the streets of England!
Warehouse 13 is probably one of my favorite current modern shows, well it's growing up on me.
(and coming from modern syfy channel, that means a lot!)
It started quite slow, but it's getting great!
My current fav show to watch~
A secret service team is charged to get their hands on "strange" artifacts and keep them in storage in the Warehouse 13. (kinda like the Ark is in the ending off Raiders of the Lost Ark)
As for cartoons...Well, I'm watching a lot more of them now than the last couple of years...
Starting with Futurama, who was back in an all new season..that already ended... But FEAR NOT! Cause a new new season is in the works for November 21 already!
New New York, the 31st century. Futurama follows the adventure of the Planet Express crew in a universe full of aliens, robots and SCIENCE!
Speaking of Matt Groening, The Simpsons are getting their 22th season!!
Woah!
Impressive!
Haters will hate, but I gotta say I'm quite impressed for such a long running show being still made!
And it's a 2D animated show, so all congrats to them!
I didn't quite like the transitional Season 20 (which went HD halfway through)..the episodes were kinda weak...
But the 21st was so much fun...
I wish the staff good luck, and may them make us laugh as much as they did all those past 20-something years~
Do the Simpsons need a summary? Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie need no introduction! They're the most well known "american family" internationally!
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated really impresses me.
It's the current Scooby-Doo show and I can't stop watching it!
It's great, fun and really updates the overall look of this series.
I wanted to make a little feature on the blog about the various Scooby-shows..but if you read some of my previous comments on Mystery Inc, you probably know I'm already a huge fan of it^^
Who are all these monsters, why are they attacking Crystal Cove?! Scooby and the gang are on the job~
Batman: The Brave & The Bold will be back with the last episodes of thise past season and the new last season as well.
Yes, cause Warner Bros Animation will stop it to leave the way for the new Bat-inspired show...
Great news for more "serious" Bat-fans and bad news for us Brave & The Bold-fans!
At least we still have around ~20 more episodes before the end...to bring this series at 65 episodes for its complete run (which isn't bad, if you ask me)
A true hommage to Silver Age comics and the DCUniverse, Batman the Brave and the Bold is a team-up show between Bats and the various characters that inhabits this very strange world, specially the more underrated type of characters.
Starting now, Marvel will have a new show around, to replace fan favorites Spectacular Spider-man and Wolverine & The X-men.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, a new team-centered cartoon based on classic Marvel characters.
The style looks modern and a bit stylish in the designs...
Though some (Wasp..) look a bit off to me...
Anyway, this could turn out pretty fun~
Earth's Mightiest Heroes join forces against super villains and world threats of all kind.
Later this year, Seth Green's spoof parody stop motion show Robot Chicken will be back in an all new season.
It's our generation's show, well, us children of the 80s. Lots of references and parodies to obscure cartoons to well known pop culture of the late 80s/early 90s. From Resident Evil to Mario Kart, passing through GIJoe and Transformers...
It's often a bit trashy..but all in a good fun way.
Lately they've been slowly turning more and more into Star Wars features and specials...
Robot Chicken is a parody show about pop culture of the late 80s and early 90s. Composed of little segments of more or less a minute each, it's fast, fun and kinda stupid all in a nice package~
I already talked about this one lately.
The Venture bros are back in an all-new all-original Season 5, or Season 4 part 2, or Season 4.5...well, just call it "The New Season".
Highly recommended spoof of pulp stories and superheroes comics.
Follow the adventures of "previously-young adventurous kid" Dr. Venture and his clo..sons Dean & Hank and their bodyguard Brock Samson. Will The Monarch destroy his arch-nemesis finally?!
Star Wars The Clone Wars will hit its 3rd Season now!
I've mostly followed this show on DVD, watching back to back all the episodes later on.
But I'm thinking about following this 3rd season as it airs...
Darth Maul's unmentioned brother will make an appearance!
Plus many fan favorite ccharacters will be back or joining the cast now~ (The Republic Commando!!!)
The series will reach it's middle point now, so expect things to get epic! (of the 100 episodes planned at the start of the show)
Luke: "You fought in the Clone Wars?
Obi-Wan: Yes. I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father.
Luke: I wish I'd known him.
Obi-Wan: He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior..."
A new DC Comics show will hit the small screen, Young justice!
It won't be based on the cult comic series, but instead share some similar concepts and develop its own original mythos.
I hope this turns out good...fearing a bit...looks too much serioues...hopes it's fun!... *crosses fingers*
Robin, Aqualad, Artemis, Kid Flash, Superboy and Miss Martian. Together they're the new generation of heroes, they're the Young Justice!
And finally..airing later on in mid-season will be The Cape. The highly anticipated (on my part) all-new original comic book-ysh tv show about a guy who becomes a superhero.
But unlike Heroes or say "No Ordinary Family" (other superhero-ysh new show) it will more clearly embrace its comic bookysh roots.
We'll have supervillains here and an on-going increasing rogue gallery and all...
Could this be the new The FLASH?! I hope so~
It could be great and fun...
My fears? Like most good shows, producers might cancel that *cough*Journeyman*cough*... -sigh-
Anyways...
That's all I will be following myself...
And it's already quite a lot, if you ask me~
So, what will YOU watch? Any of those above interest you?
Make yourself heard (for once!), I won't bite!
You can easily write down your opinion in the comments below. Ain't that right Frob'?
Nowadays even more than movies. (specially since most movie writers aren't what they used to be anymore.. it's adaptation after adaptation after sequel after remake... you get the point!)
As you can see, in my list of 15 favorite tv shows ever, I'm specially a fan of everything science-fiction-esque and other funny things...
Here's my list of stuff I will watch this 2010-2011 season~
By the way, this was a drawing of my TV selection for the 2008-2009 season~
This year, despite the absence of Lost, or other favorites of mine of these last years (Reapers, My Name is Earl, Everybody Hates Chris...) I have quite a lot to watch and follow up.
I try to mostly watch stuff I really like (and not, like, stuff that everybody talks about or really "hyped" - I never watched 24, Prison Break, Heroes...), entertaining stories and original things.
Not a fan of Reality TV, NOT AT ALL.
I'm not a fan of thrillers, NCIS/CSI-type of shows ...
Also, I've been following lots of cartoons again lately.
Anyway, here goes:
This year will mark Chuck's season 4.
I remember starting this alongside Reaper. I prefered Reaper, now I only have Chuck left..
When Chuck's good, it's great, fun and original. When it isn't..it's pretty bad...
There's been too much drama the last times with Chuck.. I hope S4 tries its best to keep me following it! The concept IS fun!
Geek gets a "super computer" burnt in his brain and can download information as well as abilities.
Castle is a fantastic detective series, in the same style as Monk.
It has Firefly's Nathan Fillion plus several Joss Whedon references (due to "recurring writers").
I really dig this show! The episodes are never dull nor repetitive.
And even the book (with a second one coming soon) "written by Castle" published last year was well received!
Rick Castle, the famous writer, tags along with the NYPD to solve crimes.
Undercovers is the new show produced under J.J.Abrams Bad Robot studio. Since Lost is no more, there's a new show starting out right away.
The pilot will be directed by Abrams.
It will a bit more similar to Alias than Lost or Fringe (but I guess it will go quickly into scifi/surnatural like all 3 other shows)
A married couple of secret agents undercovers goes back to their spy roots.
Fringe will enter its 3rd season already!
It will be a 22 episodes-long season.
It will continue the alternate universe-storyline from last season's ending..so be sure to have least watched some of it before starting this one.
It's quietly growing into my favorite show~
A special division of the government is charged to find out and stop strange "fringe-science" anomalies.
The american version of the show The Office will start its 7th season!
That's a lot of seasons!
There's been some bad in the past..but also some great stuff too...
So I'll be happy to have more of it.
The day and life of a paper company in Scranton.
Okay, not a "show", as in plot and characters development, but still entertainment.
Mythbusters will be back, after a long break and some recut episodes airing this summer.
I always love watching any episode, even rewatching some.
Always fun to watch Jamie exploding stuff...or Adam exploding stuff...you get the idea~
A documentary-experimenting type of show from the Discovery Channel. Every week, a team of special effects-guys, and a gal, try to confirm or bust urban myths,
Starting this season, the adaptation of a classic graphic novel by Robert Kirkman, the Walking Dead, will hit tv!
I have great hopes for this!
Rick, a cop, wakes up in a world destroyed by zombies after an accident.
One of my favorite recent British shows, Primeval had a great first season that made me a fan in a couple of minutes. Then a fantastic well improved second season. Then a very bad 3rd season... :(
(why would anyone **** the main character!!!.... -sigh-)
Now it will be back thanks to an international collaboration with foreign TV channels. (Germany, Canada..)
Will this bring Primeval to the epic level of epicness the former seasons had?!
Portals through time started appearing all over the world, dinosaurs and other primitive monsters are wrecking havok in the streets of England!
Warehouse 13 is probably one of my favorite current modern shows, well it's growing up on me.
(and coming from modern syfy channel, that means a lot!)
It started quite slow, but it's getting great!
My current fav show to watch~
A secret service team is charged to get their hands on "strange" artifacts and keep them in storage in the Warehouse 13. (kinda like the Ark is in the ending off Raiders of the Lost Ark)
As for cartoons...Well, I'm watching a lot more of them now than the last couple of years...
Starting with Futurama, who was back in an all new season..that already ended... But FEAR NOT! Cause a new new season is in the works for November 21 already!
New New York, the 31st century. Futurama follows the adventure of the Planet Express crew in a universe full of aliens, robots and SCIENCE!
Speaking of Matt Groening, The Simpsons are getting their 22th season!!
Woah!
Impressive!
Haters will hate, but I gotta say I'm quite impressed for such a long running show being still made!
And it's a 2D animated show, so all congrats to them!
I didn't quite like the transitional Season 20 (which went HD halfway through)..the episodes were kinda weak...
But the 21st was so much fun...
I wish the staff good luck, and may them make us laugh as much as they did all those past 20-something years~
Do the Simpsons need a summary? Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie need no introduction! They're the most well known "american family" internationally!
