A bit of a wait. But no problem.
Spoilers Season 5 trailer

Looks great. Wish it wasn’t ending.
I'm going to watch the episodes three times.
And still going to miss a lot of stuff!

Out of those three, Simpsons was the only one which continued delivering memorable episodes after its fifth season, which they kept doing until the tenth.
By Season 5, The Simpsons must have had 120+ episodes.
LDS still stands at 50. It’s not comparable because of how the length of seasons has changed.
One thing (I hope) Lower Decks has over those adult animated shows is a real sense of passage of time and character growth. The need to return to a previous status quo I feel is a major reason those shows can never really go anywhere and so will always feel tired after a certain point. I've watched a couple of recent "good" episodes of The Simpsons and they are better than some of the worst stuff I've seen, but they still feel worn down. It really doesn't help that they still look like they are young, but the voice actors sound much older.
I haven’t watched The Simpsons in oh, so many years.
I definitely did.
Well you would, wouldn’t you? I mean, of course you did.
I would if I could've but didn't so I wouldn't have. Or something.
Honestly, those shows were so mixed bag for me. I had friends obsessed with them which left kind of an odd ball taste in my mouth and made me less interested as the show wore on.
I couldn't say when I quit, but I know I held on waaaaaay to long. When I got Disney+ I thought I'd check out a then-recent episode and quit after 10 minutes.
It was just a bunch of stuff that happened, although far, far, far more soulless than the episode where Homer actually said that.
103, actually.
I gave up about twelve years ago. The last one I watched was the one Lady Gaga guest starred. Truth be told, there wasn't really anything particular to that episode that made me quit, that just happened to be the season finale. When the show came back in the fall, I found I just wasn't interested in watching it anymore.
I did randomly catch an episode from 2017 or so awhile back. I did not laugh once during it.
This is honestly like the best of those once great cartoons, because what they did best (Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama) was give their characters emotional depth, too. If they were just constant COMEDY! they wouldn't work.
And they write the emotional moments without cliche dialog. That moment in the cave where Beckett was talking about why she wanted to stay an ensign sounded 'right'. It sounded raw and not like a speech.
Or Boimler defending the less pew-pew bang bang aspects of Star Trek/Starfleet.
All of it combined just makes me happy to get a show that really speaks to me and why I've been a fan for almost 40 years.

It's only done 50 episodes. That's nothing.
If Next Gen had been cancelled after 50 episodes that would've been just before Michael Piller took over as executive producer in season 3. Deep Space Nine would've ended two episodes after getting the Defiant. Voyager would've stopped halfway through Future's End. The NX-01 crew would've never heard of the Xindi.
And TOS... okay maybe that one wouldn't have been the end of the world. But those other shows would've ended before they'd even gotten good.

We're lucky LD didn't have to wait and was good out of the gate.
I'm ok with 50 episode so long as it was entertaining.
That trailer looked like so much fun.
It's sad that it's ending but can't wait for it to premiere too.
