The Simpsons
Is it me? Or has anyone else realized the Simpsons sucks now? When did this happen? Have I been in denial? I have been a die-hard fan for as many years as I can remember now, and maybe that's the problem. Maybe I've been blind to this slow but steady decline in humor and entertainment. Remember when you would see your friends Monday and you would go back and forth with all the memorable quotes from the previous nights show? I miss those days. I heard a few years back when the producers said when they wanted to quit, they would make a movie and be done with it. Now there's a movie and no end in sight? I can't tell you how many times I watch a new episode, maybe chuckle a little bit, change the channel to something else and completely forget what just happened. They're just living on reputation at this point. I say get rid of them and give me a chance, I've got plenty of good ideas for a show. Now, would they be entertaining to anyone but me, my friend Logan or Greg N? Maybe not, but I'm sure a lot of people would tune in just to find out what kinds of outrageous ideas we would come up with. If you're reading this (all 2 of you) I bet you're giggling at that idea. No? Just me? That's what I figured.

Because I've been called out specifically, I feel the jerkstore has to weigh in on this. I'm going to have to agree with mr awesomstein on this. A few years back, the simpsons stopped being funny outside of the random things that make only a select few chuckle. My thoughts are that the simpsons have become way too self-referential when it comes to making jokes. Please, let me see Kang and Kodos more...really, every Halloween episode MUST feature them.
Also, Homer has gone WAY over the top. He used to be funny way back when ("women are like refrigerators, 6 ft tall, 300 lbs and full of beer). Now he's a whackjob, and not even really a convincing one either. Maybe it's grief over the death of maude flanders? Who knows. Whatever the case, simpsons suck now. That said, the Family guy still cranks out the occasional gem (see the meg falling in love with brian episode for proof).
That is all.
