The most recent episodes have been truly awful (by Simpsons standards, good compared to most other TV)

The Screamapillar epsiode?awww c'mon that was three seperate 7-minute episodes. Characters are saying and doing stuff completely out of character and its all going to pot 'cos the've done everything already.

Lastnight, for instance:

Homer sets up his 'SpringShield' security force after riots caused by blackouts. Fair enough.

Then they decide to take up five minutes spoofing the Sopranos intro as Fat Tony goes with his New Jersey muscle to kill homer.

Then Maggie guns down all the gangsters with a rifle hidden under her cot!

Talk about lack of ideas....
 
well thats not really the point. Its on the slippery slope down into complete crapness. I don't want it to end that way after the majesty that was episodes like 'Bart gets an 'F'' and the 138th Episode spectacular.

I'd also like to damn the network who pulled Futurama and Family Guy 'cos there was too much cartoon sitcom saturation. Especially as Futurama was just getting into its stride and started kicking ass
 
Im still annoyed with them for

Cancelling The Tick. The RL version AND the cartoon.
 
The Family Guy was brilliant humor and I miss it. I was actually hoping Comedy Central might pick it up.

As to The Tick, the RL version sucked major ass. The cartoon was hysfuckingsterical and I can't believe they stopped making it so soon. I have every episode on tape. "Roof Pig how...unexpected".

The Simpsons has been on for what? 11 years? 11 Years of witty, original humor. I can't think of another show that can claim that. If it's time to go, they leave on hell of a legacy.

I'm with you 100%. I've actually thought it was time to hang it up for about two years now. Its my favorite show, so it kills me to see it go, but there are only so many ideas that you can make a funny show out of, and they've used just about every one (personaly favorite being the Maisson D'Erierre episode). If they went on much longer like this, they would have tarnished the legacy of what's been one of the funniest shows on the planet. Sort of like what Michael Jordan's doing right now. But anyway, I say let the Homer and the family ride off into the sunset and bring back The Family Guy, because that show always cracked me up.

At least you're being honest about your feelings when this show finally goes. Sure we bitch about quality but I'd also be willing to bet half the folks in here will also bitch about it when it finally DOES leave prime time.
 
I bitched when i heard it was finishing but reality hit me when i started seen the newest episodes. I will sorely miss it though. There isnt a single episode where i havent laughed out loud at some point.

For every life situation there is a Simpsons situation to relate to. Fact.
 
Do you young'uns have any idea how long we had to endure The Flintstones re-runs?

The Simpsons could close down tomorrow, but the show will be around for ever. There are going to be what, 13 plus years worth of shows? Might as well get used to them.

Well I'm not complaining about that. Just as long as they keep showing the older episodes, rather than the last couple of years.
 
How can you 'endure' TV... go and read a book or something :D

seriously though i understand. Simpsons rocks.
 
The Simpsons will be missed, but the show is wearing majorly thin. Sunday nights Halloween episode really was horrid (save for Marge turning into a sex kitten, that was hot!)

Sunny, I cant agree with The Family Guy being brilliant humor. It was low brow, crass, and disgusting. However I did laugh my ass off with each and every episode.

As far as network TV goes, does not Fox simply have the best writers? Malcom, That 70's Show (funniest thing on TV), and Bernie Mac are all better than anything the big three have come out with in a generation.

but she does raise a few serious questions with her body type. I mean come on, with hair and boobs that big at her age, if she were real, could she stay upright???
 
The hair is mostly air anyway... but how many sex kittens do you know that stay vertical for very long ;)
 
mmm... sex kitten... *drools*

anyways.. I think the newest treehouse of horror was fuckin funny as hell! I'm glad simpsons is still going, and I hope the re-runs after its gone stretch past the time of my death...
 
Personally I liked the skit where Maggie guns them down with the rifle. I like it when they throw in little surprises like that, and if you think about it, it is not that out of character for her - after all, who shot Mr. Burns? This just puts a new twist on that previous episode; was it really an accident of did Maggies really mean to shoot Mr. Burns?

I like when shows have a character that is quiet and inactive most of the time, then every once in a while the character does something totally unexpected. The Simpson's does that every once in a while with Maggie and it is great because it isn't predictable.

I agree about Futurama - it is a shame. Same goes for Duckman.
 
The Simpsons have given us many many many many laughs over the years and sad as it is that it is ending, like all good things in life, it must at some point and I for one will choose to just be grateful it ever was. And yes it has been a bit thin of late, but c'est la vie.


Oh, and SPOOOOOON!
 
I disagree.

I think "The Simpsons" has gotten exponentially better recently. There were only so many plotlines they could use about the Simpson family. So the writers trained their eyes on a satirical lampooning of popular culture.

"Family Guy" and "Futurama" were hilarious, but they were pulled because of terrible ratings, not because of "cartoon saturation." Of course, it didn't help "Futurama" that it was often preempted by football games, which means East Coast viewers sometimes never saw it. And "Family Guy" spent two seasons against "Survivor" and "Friends." Gee, wonder why their ratings sucked?
