I think the first one I saw was the season 2 opener, which came on after Mad Men. I kept the TV on and it caught my interest, so I went back and watched the first two seasons before the third starting airing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) If we were comparing the first 10-12 seasons of Sinpsons to Breaking Bad, I might give Simpsons the nod. Those were classics. However, Simpsons has been mostly trash since the early 2000s. Its basically in the same breath as SNL of shows that have lost the magic a long time ago but stay alive primarily due to name recognition and loyaliats. Breaking Bad is somewhat overrated. Its a good show...great even....but top ranked? Meh... Anyway, going with Breaking Bad. Early Simpsons holds a special place in my heart, but has been a shell of itself for almost 20 years. At least Breaking Bad was largely consistent and knew when to end. Edited February 7, 2021 by 43M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Breaking Bad, easily. Definitely a contender to win the entire thing. Simpsons being watered down and a complete shell of it's former self over the past 15 years cannot be overlooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animation can do something a regular TV show can not, but to sustain that success across such a large time frame with shifting cultural mindsets over a large amount of time speaks volumes for the show Sure it does. You adapt to the culture. Making fun of politics and society in general will never run out of source material. But that doesn't push it over the top for me. I started watching it in college, and its's still going. Can you say you have watched it non stop since day one? I don't know anyone my age who comntinues t watch it regularly. Then, tyou have Breaking Bad writing a continuous five season story, and being one of the top shows to ever do it that successfully at that level. You have plenty of voters on here who hold a bad season or more against a show even when the first seasons were gold standard. Doing that is much harder, which is why BB is still ranked where it is universally. Then there's the Bengals angle. most people rightfully trace the non playoff streak to the Bo Jackson game. We haven't won one since. But I also blame the Simpsons, which debuted a week or two later. Mike Brown is Bart, and the Bengals haven't won one since. Maybe it goes away, and we win.

THE DUKE Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I love the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons, but I think the meh 24 seasons after that is actually a detriment to its legacy at this point. So I vote Breaking Bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think the show peaked with season 4. While still great, season 5 was the weakest of the show for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Sheesh, another rough matchup. Anyone else, Simpsons wins pretty handily. But, not gonna beat Heisenberg in this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
