    Ok, I’ve seen this take recently, but what made the newest season better? I’m probably going to give it a shot anyhow. I really hope I’m not let down. I still recite the old episodes like religion.

      The writing seems to try to tell a good story first and then add jokes in where they work, unlike trying to put as many jokes in a flimsy story as possible. They also handle character like Marge a lot more like the early seasons.

      Fron what I heard it’s because the pandemic forced them to have less writers with more agency on each episode. It’s not every episode, but there are definitely a handful of banger.

      A Serious Flanders works way better than it has any right to do so
