You have brought me many years of joy, and provided a great deal of laughter, but after viewing your most recent episode I am afraid to say that the flame is now extinguished.

You were once a hip, offbeat cartoon that provided the viewer with clever satire and sharp writing, asking in return only that one possess a certain level of intelligence to understand the jokes. Now you have resorted to toilet humour that would appeal only to 15 year olds that get high by sniffing paint. This has been going on for some time now, and while I prayed that you were in a slump, it is now apparant that the show is a cash cow with no substance left, nay, no soul.

Please, save what dignity you have left and fade into history with the knowledge and respect of what you once were, rather than continuing to offend your long time viewers with the garbage that you now are.

I like the new season. It contains less tasteless jokes than the previous one. And less references to Marge's vagina.





I'm not kidding, i really do like it.

Regardless of what the news article says, the show continues to suck eggs today.

Dear C
THEN STOP FUCKING WATCHING AND WE MIGHT GO OFF THE AIR!
~The Simpsons


honestly, if you all hate the fucking show don't watch it!

I still enjoy it, I don't care if it's not as good as it was years ago, it's still funny (the one where they went to the UK was one of the funniest in years), but I don't care how much I love a show, if it sucks I dont' watch it so that they take the hint! Ratings are what keep shows alive!

Instead of having threads to discuss how the show sucks, why not come up with ideas on how to return it to its former glory?

i think the medical marijuana episode was funnier than the UK one, but they all face the same problem there either too short and seem to have a buffer time in the end (ie. singalong with sideshow bob at the end of the simpsons where someone threatens homers life) or they are too long and try to cram too much storyline into one episode (ie the episode when lisa becomes class president)

I dont hate it as much as many of you, but i believe the simpsons churns out 2 or 3 worthwile episodes per season to watch. Honestly, it's possible to have the simpsons actually be the former greatness it was.

Another thing that is annoying is when they keep poking fun at the staleness of their own show and the people who don't like them.

Five years ago, C would have been a 15-year-old who got high sniffing paint.

Maybe The Simpsons isn't funny anymore because you are older?

There's actually a few small problems I have with the show now that, when added together, form the reason why I actually don't watch the show anymore (at least the new ones. I still have tapes upon tapes of old shows from the first 9 seasons).

No ones needs a shred of intelligence to get the jokes anymore. It's all stupid puns and fart jokes. A lot of the jokes are about celebrities, TV shows, and movies. It's turned into an actual sitcom, and I fucking hate sitcoms. It's just not a smart show anymore.

Remember the first 9 seasons? Everything that happened could be based on real experiences, such as Homer almost having an affair with a co-worker, Lisa helping Homer gamble on football, or Bart shoplifting right before Christmas. What are the plots now? Homer being shipped to some unknown island after making a website? Bart moving away from his parents and living in an apartment with a skate park in the building? Homer hiring a professional private eye to follow Lisa around so he can learn more about her? I mean, what the fuck?

Celebrities aren't that great. Stop putting them in the episodes for no reason, dipshits.

Cartoony, nonsensical shit that doesn't belong on the Simpsons. Stuff like Homer sparring with Tony Hawk in mid-air using skateboards SUCKS AND IS NOT WHAT THE SIMPSONS IS ALL ABOUT. I've mentioned this many times, but Matt Groening said in a Season 1 commentary that he wanted the Simpsons to be a "show where, as crudely as the animation is, the characters face real life situations and have real life dilemmas". In other words, a cartoon that didn't act like a cartoon. Looks like they fucking trashed that plan.

Homer isn't funny when he has the IQ of patio furniture.

AND I'M DONE. I DON'T WATCH THE SHOW ANYMORE. WHEN I SAY I HATE SOMETHING, I FOLLOW THROUGH WITH MY DISGUST AND BOYCOTT IT BECAUSE DAPHNE SAYS SO.

How the fuck do they measure ratings anyway? Is my TV sending information to these people? Or is there still such thing as a Nielson family.

PS I still love you Daphne.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE SIMPSONS ON SUNDAY AND I SAW WHERE KRUSTY WASN'T JEWISH. I LOOK BACK 10 MINUTES LATER AND HOMER HAS HIS OWN TALK SHOW.

AND THEY NEED TO DO AN EPISODE ABOUT KARL. DON'T BE PLAYA HATIN.

The Simpsons is a different show now. Get over it.

I'm sick of all these hyperbolic reviews of the latest episodes. I bately watch it, but when I do I think it's really funny at least half the time.

i wonder if they pick ramdom words from a hat for plot ideas

writer1: ok we got "time" "hat" "leg" and "jelly"
writer2: how about homer discovers a time traveling hat and breaks his leg while eating jelly!
writer1:genius

honestly, it ran out of steam 5 years ago, they need to stop, especially since its gone to the point of stealing episode ideas from 'hey arnold' (the spelling b episode seemed VERY familiar) and refering to how insane the simpsons is (in an episode).

I was picked to be a neilson family once, it was great! I was unemployed and I watched tv for about 16 hours a day just to play with it. In the comment box, they asked what I'd like to see on TV and I said I wanted the Critic back, and then 2 months later, it was back on Fox! (I don't think I had anything to do with that, though...)

They pay you about $2.
