No, Lisa on Ice was the peak.OpinionatedCyborg said:In before Liu Kang comes in to discuss how the Simpsons were at their peak the episode Bart stole a videogame from the big chain store.

I was channel surfing, and flipped to FOX in time to see Grandpa crash the family car with Homer as his passenger. Homer gets out, and Grandpa's pretty banged up. As Homer's dialing 9-1-, Grandpa's going on about how Homer's going to have to visit him in the hospital every day, and how he'll need to move in to Homer's house to receive the proper medical for the rest of his life, etc. etc. Homer gets this look on his face, and instead of dialing the last -1 he flips his phone shut and clamps his hand over Grandpa's mouth and nose. He's almost suffocated Grandpa to death when Lisa's voice cuts through the dream. Then Homer gripes about how he was having the most wonderful dream, but he always wakes up before the best part.
Which part was supposed to be the joke? The part where a son kills his elderly father rather than be saddled with caring for him, or the part where it's revealed this is a recurring fantasy for Homer?

Maybe he's not denying the fact that the show has gone downhill, but the fact that every thread where the word "simpsons" gets mentioned immediately derails.ICallItFutile said:Hey, truth hurts.

Explain how it's not funny.Spike Spiegel said:Explain that one to me.
I'm strictly OTA for television, so that would be a "no" on The Sopranos. Which means the parody element is completely lost on me; it just ended up being a ghoulish and disturbing scene completely out of place for a comedy series.Tabris said:Have you ever watched The Sopranos? Based on your description, it's an EXACT parody on the episode whereTony kills Chris.
Oh, and I don't really watch The Simpsons. I was just wondering how badly it had jumped the shark but that is a relevent parody, maybe a year late though.
