4 days before Quinta was born, the very first episode of The Simpsons aired! Yet, Quinta’s birthday is 4 days before Christmas!

And 800 Simpsons episodes after beloved our Queenta was born, she guest stars in The Simpsons episode “Irrational Treasure” along with Kevin Bacon and Questlove!

The 800th Simpsons episode was pure perfection for America’s 250th birthday!

I mean its so fun when courtney comes and she is like a child AVA

Just got an ad for this Airbnb that I thought looked just like the gym! Does anyone else see the resemblance?

She looks amazing! 🔥

My wife made this.

I'm currently rewatching the show for the third time after just finishing season 5, and I've just compiled a list of thoughts I have. While I still enjoyed season 5 greatly, I think we can all agree that it's the weakest season overall, so Quinta, if you can hear me, please step back into the writers' room, thank you. I apologise for being all over the place with this. I just made dot points, and I'm formulating my thoughts as I go, so bare with me😭

Melissa and Jacob, for starters, their relationship regressing back to Melissa disliking and being mean to Jacob constantly literally makes no sense considering how it’s already established that they became extremely close when Jacob moved in during the third season, like the episode where Caleb is visiting, and Melissa just gives him Jacob's room without his consent and is babying Caleb like crazy, and Jacob is forced to sleep on the couch?? Wow. All their development feels like it just went down the drain, and that can be said about multiple characters in the show...

Also, Jacob's love life. Give Jacob a good, consistent love interest!! Every time he has a new guy, we see him for like two episodes and then never again because it just didn't work out, and they broke it off off-screen, which is so disappointing to me because I like all his love interests! Like I loved Zack but they clearly weren't good for each other so I wasn't surprised when they broke up but I also loved Avi (the paramedic) and I love the actor as well so I was sad they didn't work out because I thought him and jacob seemed like a good pair, if only the writers took their fling seriously and gave them more time to cook...sigh. And then they brought in Elijah, who I also like, but then we barely see him as well, and then the writers had them break up off-screen and then...get back together..off screen...bruh.

Melissa and Barbara not giving a shit about Janine and Gregory breaking up when they were their biggest supporters (aside from Jacob) was...a choice. That scene after the breakup episode where Janine tries to sit with them, and they gently tell her not to and all that stuff about them not 'wanting to get involved'...oh ok.

I might be the only person that thinks this but...I think the breakup should’ve lasted longer. Stay with me now! I never get scared when the main couples in sitcoms break up because obviously they're gonna get back together, guys. It's a sitcom, idk why everyone was so terrified. I still think the reason was ridiculous, but if they gave them a more valid reason to break up earlier in the season, or maybe even in the final episode of season 4, and were brave enough to have them stay broken up not just for two episodes but like honestly the whole of season 5...like with Nick and Jess from New Girl, then it would eat.

For those who don't know and don't care to watch the show, Nick and Jess broke up in New Girl because they realised that while they deeply loved each other, they were fundamentally on different pages about their futures. Jess wanted to plan for the long term and grow as a person, while Nick was content just living in the moment, struggled with maturity, and lacked a clear direction in life. In turn, they both felt immense pressure to change each other rather than accept each other as they were, so they broke up but chose to remain friends still, and Jess gave Nick the space he needed to eventually grow up, get his life together, and find his way back to her later in the series. Don't get me wrong, their breakup was also rushed, and a lot of fans hated it for that, but you still understand why it happened, and it made sense. Jess was constantly doing too much. Nick was never doing enough. 

The Janine and Gregory break up could've been written similarly to this in which the reasoning for the breakup is childish but it was due to their issues slowly building up throughout season 4 when they started dating and they break up in the finale and then we see them slowly come back together and fix their issues in season 5 instead of the break up just coming out of nowhere right when the season was about to end. This probably would've pissed off viewers a lot tho but I would’ve loved it😭😭😭

Mall arc was rushed and also should've lasted longer, like all season, and then have them get the school back again in the finale.

I think season 7 should be the last...I don't think there's a sitcom I've watched with 5+ seasons that didn't fall off (the only exception for me is Schitt's Creek). They always end up deteriorating, which is why I disagree when people say that sitcoms can go on forever. I mean, technically they can, but there's definitely gonna be a dip in quality over time. I mean, look what happened to Modern Family. I haven't watched It's Always Sunny, but I know it has like 15+ seasons, so maybe that's another exception...Anyway, if the show went through with my plan, then season 6 would've been the teachers and students getting settled back in the school undergoing realistc problems, Greogry and Janine fluff, Jacob lore + a consistent love interest, O'shon lore cause he's kinda just there honestly and him and Ava actually working well together instead of Ava bullying him for being poor all the time no shade. Melissa, Barbara, and more episodes of the teachers' personal lives. And then season 7 wraps things up nicely.

I also think Gregory and Janine getting married is wayyy too soon. They just got back together, and we've only seen them date for two seasons, like, come on, guys. If they wanna do a wedding so bad, then save it for the final season, which I doubt season 6 is.

Why is Dominic (the new teacher) so underutilised?? I loved the actor in Shrinking, which is also a popular show, so I thought he'd have a bigger role to play, but he's barely in the season like, take him out and not much would change...

Overall I just felt like they didn't know what to do with the characters this season but anyway, these are my thoughts wonder what you guys think bye

I just rewatched this gem of an episode and I truly hope there would be more crossovers with them!

One scene I didn’t pay attention to in my first watch was Tasha Hoffman saying that “the tall skinny guy hiding behind the cameras” kept hitting on her, referring to Dennis 😭😭😂 they’re a bunch of lowlifes but can’t blame him, she’s GORGEOUS!
