Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

Guess the Episode "Rules"

Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

I'm currently taking all my old Simpsons DVDs and ahem backing them up to my computer and I'd forgotten how good the early season DVD commentaries were and it really made me think how much we lost when DVDs stopped becoming mainstream.

When you heard "Hi I'm Al Jean.. and I'm Mike Reiss", you knew you were going to get a good commentary.

Also the fact that we'll never get John Swartzwelder on an actual commentary.

aw man I've never seen any of this. I'll try to totally find legitimate copies of these discs for my still in use DVD player in my still regularly occupied living room.

good shout.

The Simpsons commentary tracks were always amazing. (Honestly Family Guy were as well.)

I hope someday they end up on Disney+ or wherever. I love watching classic episodes and would love to again with commentary.

I believe Family Guy season one was one of the first DVDs I got in the mail from Netflix (you see, kids, in the ancient days Netflix sent DVDs by mail to watch at home).

didn't raise the rates twice a year or whatever they're doing these days.. they sat on your returns an extra day and mailed your new ones from across the country to slow you down.

Agreed, I have the Back to the Future box set and you get so many interesting tidbits from the commentary. Might have to track down some Simpsons DVDs now.

I remember getting the BTTF trilogy set too. That commentary was great! The Beautiful Mind one too.
