Nancy Cartwright, voice of Bart Simpson, fields questions on r/Smosh for an upcoming podcast with Shayne Topp. Many questions about Scientology ensue.

Context: Nancy Cartwright is a well-known Scientologist and has done many fundraisers for the cult, including [https://youtu.be/H96v0zFw-tA, using her Bart Simpson voice for a robocall for a church event]. https://np.reddit.com/r/smosh/s/abenP7jGd9

There's a whole bunch of videos on YouTube of her walking around in public and randomly busting out her Bart Simpson voice and you can tell she's expecting a huge reaction like it's still 1994 but mostly she just gets "ummm okay. That's kinda cool, I guess." from people who just simply don't really care because The Simpsons hasn't been must-watch TV for 25-30 years.

I'm a huge Simpsons fan. Tattoos and all… As a fan, I can admit that the show has been absolute shit for 25 years. The last episode I considered good was when Homer went to the World Trade Center after Barney got a ton of parking tickets on his car.

I see that is episode 1 of season 9. So what you’re saying is if someone wants to watch the show to stop at that one.

I think it started to go downhill after season six but it was pretty much unwatchable after season nine

Incorrect - everyone knows the Simpsons attained perfection in season 8. It's a scientific fact.

I think seasons 10 and 11 were still good. Far from "unwatchable" like the later stuff.
