I was a major adult fan in my twenties who worked with people who could finish a Simpsons joke when anyone started a line from the show. I remember coming in and sadly announcing that I thought I didn't like the show anymore. That was in the oughts. It had been in decline for a while at the time.
The graph represents my experience with The Simpsons. Back when they got their movie for the 10th anniversary, the serie was already struggling with the audience. I believe that was the point where they changed the animation to a horrible 3d rendering and, at least in my country, the started having troubles negotiating with the original voices we all grew up with.
Honestly at this point I believe I haven't missed much from the series since the 9th season. They should just let it die at this point, as they should've done it in 2007.
The movie came out in 2007, mate. Nothing to do with the 10th anniversary.
Also, you probably referred to the move from hand drawn to software animation. Because there is no "3d rendering" happening in the usual sense.

Nice graph!
By the way, any reason to share this here rather than !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world, as you did for the Boeing one? Genuinely curious
Ahah, didn't actually expected anyone to recognize I was the same person as the Boeing graph, time to create a new throwaway account I guess 🤷
I post a lot on Lemmy, mainly content I find on over social networks, and I try to avoid posting on lemmy.world, it's getting too much activity, and really hurting the decentralized aspect of Lemmy, which imo is its biggest advantage.
I'm not criticizing the mods or admins or lemmy.world, just saying that for the content I post, I try to avoid putting in there
what's the deal with 9th episodes being good every now and then
Maybe the last episode before a season break or something?
Since when are IMDB ratings a serious metric of quality?
Episode 3 of season 6 is such an outlier. Too much romance for the Simpsons audience apparently.
It's a clip show. Both low rating episodes from the first seasons are clip shows. That's why. Clip shows are typically unpopular, even tho for The Simpsons, each clip is original and not a reair of a previous one. They're "filler" episodes.
I actually stopped watching when I stopped wathing most over the air. the problem is the streaming free options being to convoluted with the gatekeeping. once I miss epsiodes im just sorta out.
