The author expresses a bittersweet relationship with The Simpsons, reflecting on the joy and friendships formed during its early years. Despite significant personal milestones tied to the series, including his friend's Make-A-Wish experience, he feels the show has declined in quality and believes it should end to maintain its dignity. He contrasts his nostalgic memories with his current feelings of disappointment when watching recent episodes, suggesting that though it has nostalgic value, the show has lost its greatness, which resonates deeply with long-time fans like him.
I still vividly remember my first time meeting the family in Some Enchanted Evening, better known as the Babysitter Bandit episode, at age 8 during the original air date in 1990.
I ask you to let the show end...whenever I pop in to check out new episodes, my attention wanes. At worst, it's unwatchable. At best, it's fine...
My friend Andy developed advanced testicular cancer, with a very small chance of survival...His Make-A-Wish was to visit the Simpsons studio.
It's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.
