#8 - The Simpsons: The Girl Code

It's probably a fair statement to say Simpsons has been on way longer since people have been saying it not as good as it to be. Most people agree there was a peak to the Simpsons, with I've even heard some people say the last great seasons where 8 or 9 which put it when it was still on in the 90s!

I don't think I have truly turned against The Simpsons, sure it's nowhere near it's as great as it was in it's heyday but it's still watchable (with the odd outright duffers here and there) and reality it's nothing I will go out my way to watch now (there was a time I could rewatch and rewatch an episode again and again) but it's certainly nowhere near to hate watching for me (though there has been some episodes that are just bad).

"The Girl Code" is an episode from the 27th(!) season that premiered today here in the UK (which aired the very beginning on the year in the US) and I could say this about like many of the episodes of the past 15 or so years that it's not as good as when it was heyday, and sees Lisa get a female teacher in coding class and hey with the help of others end creating app that will question whether it's safe to post something online and what the consequences are which is spurred on when Marge posts something at the powerplant that gets Homer fired and he ends up returning to a Greek resturant he used to work at (in the episodes subplot), oh yeah the app (voiced by Stephen Merchant) starts to get a mind of it's own.

There is some funny moments here with Homer being accident prone in the background at one point which just goes to show there is still value here.

Overall, yes a show so, so far from it's prime but is still proudly going a long better then some other (not quite as) long runners.
