I never stopped to consider that one of the best parts of the Simpsons being animated was how uncartoony it was.

I never stopped to consider that one of the best parts of the Simpsons being animated was how uncartoony it was.
For so many years it was the funniest show on tv. For no other reason than to know, I clocked several episodes at 20+ gags per segment (between commercials). I say gags because they weren’t always jokes with a setup and payoff.
Several years ago I watched an episode because I hadn’t watched in a while. It didn’t make me laugh like it used to. I’m sure I changed and the show did too so maybe that’s it. Or they just ran out of gas.
I’ve heard it said that the reason people think the Simpsons aren’t funny past the seasons that they grew up watching is that the Simpsons moved on and are making fun of parts of pop culture that you don’t relate to.
Don’t know how true that is, but it sounds reasonable.
