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.

Honestly pretty solid. It does sound a little weird, but it's an adult Milhouse so it fits. It almost sounds like they just did a regular Milhouse voice and then changed it to age him up.
Mo Collins does an excellent Jimbo Jones.
Alex Desert took a little time to figure out Carl, but it's pretty solid now.
Kevin Michael Richardson still does not do a good Doctor Hibbert, it's a little too... Not quite Cleveland from Family Guy, but Family Guy background voice character. Which is a shame since he's talented, but maybe the issue is that they seem to have changed the character and made him less serious.
Which I only mention since Megan Mullally took over the voice of Sarah Wiggum a few seasons ago and made her a wildly different character. But in the case of Mrs. Wiggum she didn't have much established story.
In general it seems like they're doing a great job at replacing voice actors with new talent. I do however fear the day we lose one of the big ones. Julie Kavner's voice has changes the most noticably, although she seems to be doing better as this season has progressed. So hopefully they've figured out a way to either adjust her voice or she's figured out a way to be more comfortable when acting.
Also since I'm ranting way outside the question I bet Harry Shearer, as the oldest and grumpiest, retires next, and that's going to be tricky.

It's too jarring, the difference is so big
I love a good flashback/flashforward episode and this had both.
Also I can't remember the last time someone actually died in a flashforward, so is Marge's "death" the first?
Wow, another days of future past type thing. These last few episodes have really been high tier.
I like the little details they do with their jokes now, where it's not just a single joke and then punchline, but several other punchlines afterwards (the Golden Jetski was brilliant)
