Did they replace the writers from season 11?
That is the only season I skip on my eternal rewatching loop for relaxing before bed.
There were a few good episodes, the Santa time travel one, the multiverse one, the mom Corp one. I liked the dune one even though it's got mixed reactions.
That episode 9 was a fucking train wreck, however.
Yeah I don’t mind season 11 besides episode 9 I skip every time. Mostly ok but a few good ones.
Personally found the first 2 to be bad, and 9 to be unwatchable.
I think 11 would've been a lot better if it had come out in 2021. In 2023 all of the COVID themes were really played out.
Hopefully 12 wasn't written 3 years ago.
That's a weak defense of the season. The thing that made a lot of the classic episodes classics is that they are more or less timeless. If releasing the episode a year or two later means it's not going to land well, then they should be rethinking the writing.
A great example is the iPhone episode. Its a bad episode because the premise was hardly interesting even when it was relevant, and it hasn't aged well at all.
I'm not saying it would've been a masterpiece, it just would've been a lot more enjoyable.
Completely agree. It was lads gaga on a train levels of terrible
Original run writers room had a math phd, chemistry phd, and comp sci phd on the team. I think that's why any of the post cancellation seasons fail to capture the wit of the first run.
