In Memmy in iOS, it seems to “fit to screen”—meaning it shows the entire image with large black pillarboxing on either side.

Maybe it’s a Grow-bot…

Nas T-Funk was the OG of Funeral Beat Boxing.

This new guy can only walk-in thanks to people having already opened the doors and windows on account of Nas T-Funk.

I distributed the watch over a long period of time—I only ever watched episodes while on a lunch break at work. It was an effective way of unplugging and just watching something “familiar”. I would typically bang out (up to) 2-episodes/day, 5-days a week over the course of about 2-years.

I just checked, and I have not watched the most recent episode, but I’m sure I will while on lunch sometime next week.

I would argue that majority are not as bad as you imply, though some are a tough watch—like the pointless travel shows, I recall Denmark and Canada as being a difficult watch.

I agree with the graphic.

However, I recently completed a straight watch-thru of every Simpsons episode, and while watching the lackluster episodes from seasons ~20-~30, I have to acknowledge one thing:

Quality of the show and its writing have noticeably improved since around Season 32.

The most recent episodes feel more centered on the family and much less on bizarre cameos and really outrageous situations. It actually feels like a show about the Simpson family and treats the characters more age-appropriately.

I don’t like that they lost/recast established voices of minority characters (Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc), I do think the quality and the focus of the show is much better than it has been in almost 2-decades.
