I have loved the simpsons since season 1. But it has sucked for years now. I think the "jumping the shark" was when Maude Flanders died. I decided to watch a new episode for about the first time in two years tonight. It was awful!! I laughed maybe once, back in 1994-1998 I would laugh throughout the whole episode. I'm ready for the series to end. |

actually, ive heard that in 2006 the series will end and they will make a movie, where theyre all grown up. i dont have any proof of any of this, but from what ive heard its going to be something akin to "the simspons: bigger, longer, and uncut." but this is only what ive heard from a friend, so as i said, no actual proof. |

oh that's good. They're bringing Family Guy (and I read somewhere a movie too) back next year. Maybe it can fill the hole of a Simpsonsless nation. |

Simpsons started to suck since 1/2 through season 8 That was 7.5 years ago. AnimeBoi, who has watched since day 1. D/N/T |

the simpsons was good? actually, i think its sucked since season five. it relies on homer and his being an idiot as well as guest stars now, and i haven't laughed once since watching the episode where homer gets high. and that episode itself was an oasis amid a desert of unfunniness. the simpsons just doesn't do anything for me. its certainly not "cutting edge", and the jokes are all stale. for funny animation, south park is really all there is on television, and that show has been pushing boundaries for years. futurama was pretty good though, which is precisely why it was cancelled. |

I'm not sure which episodes are in which series but yeah, over the past few years The Simpsons has been drained of all the charm, wit and neat little touches that made the older episodes so great. Sad. |

i agree the show has been sucky for quite some time. there is usually a couple funny bits but other than that, pretty dull. i still watch it though.. |

2006? Christ. Shouldve ended a long time ago. They have run out of ideas, quite simply. They had a great run of consistently funny shows for years, but now its time to gracefully retire the franchise. |

futurama was great, that should be brought back.. and hooray for Family guy coming back, that show is pretty hilarious. as for the simpsons, I agree that show has definately seen better days and is ready for the axe |

p.s. i've had enough of the simpsons video games. |
||||||||
|

they should have made the simpsons: hit and run cel shaded, not doing so makes the game suck total asshat. Nevermind that I haven't even played it. The mere fact that they now can make celshaded games with ease and made a CARTOON franchise into a game by using the standard of bland polygons.... Pitiful. |

"suck total asshat" oh man, i'm glad i post here again lol. that fucking rules |
||||||||
|

|

fuck i havent heard "asshat" in like a year or two. Family guy owns for the record. |

Bring back futurama! Better than the simpsons anyday! |

i dont even know what the new episodes are. here in the uk, if youre not watching satellite/cable you get a mix of new(ish) and old episodes in any old random order. a lot of the (i assume) more recent ones are very funny. but i dont have much of a timeline perspective. but am i the only one that thinks that (in hindsight) the earliest simpsons were pretty weak. they focused to intently on moralistic family tales. were not surreal enough + lackedany truly funny jokes. they were more "amusing" than anything else. homers voice had not been perfected + the animation was pretty shoddy due to its budget. to be honest, i find the writing in nearly all american comedy series very inconsistent. largely because of their production line writing style. in the uk, a small group of people will develop an idea for a show+write the entire series themselves. in america, studios assign teams of writers to brainstormshows, all throwing in their 2cents worth of gags (something the simpsons made fun of in the episode where granpa starts writing for + the episode where homer voices poochy the dog in itchy+scratchy) |

I hear you about the really old episodes.. they were kinda funny, but the animation and characters were FAR from perfect... homer and marge both needed to be perfected.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and all the other characters needed to be introduced+developed properly. |
||||||||
|

What a load of shit!! Who gives a fuck is the animation is crap, it's the humour I'm after (just look at Home Videos, is that what it's called? They haven't shown it hear for a while).. and those moralistic/family values episodes died right down very early in the show's history. acrid, I've come to expect better from you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i didnt mean visually developed. i meant their character. the animation thing was a throwaway criticism. i agree that the humour is the most important thing. but most of that humour is reliant on well developed characters. i know the family values stuff died down early. which is why i was saying those early episodes were amongst my least favourite. please continue to have high expectations of me. i'll try and make my points clearer next time. |

if the bbc weren't such fucking cheapskates and persistantly showed the same episodes i don't think i would've got sick of it. but its a tired format now i think. its still good once in a while but not everyday. what makes me laugh is the bbc have now lost thr rights to the boat race. im looking forward to grandstand showing pro-celebrity international catch in its place. |

It's definitely a shell of its former self, and that movie is probably going to be the final nail in the coffin. That thing is going to be a decade late. |

im not ready for the series to end at all.... the last episode was tight. |
