Is it just me or is the Simpsons getting really stupid?

[ILikeSprite]

I didn't even laugh once tonight.......

It's not just you...they ARE stupid. They've been stupid for a few years now, in my opinion. Go watch some older ones and you'll feel better. Monorail episode always works for me.

it seems like all of a sudden after this one year, simpsons has just not been funny
maybe the writers r running out of ideas...
=(

thank god there's still reruns where there's funny episodes

 

[b0mbrman]

Yeah, seasons 3 - 7 are the glory years

And yes, it seems like it's just this year...

 

[ILikeSprite]

at least Futurama still makes me laugh.......

The fact that we have threads like this one every week explains alot.

 

[bjb86s]

Only thing I laughed at was "You sunk my scrabbleship!", other than that, it was stupid....

It also explains how important The Simpsons is to us...

I think if The Simpsons continues to suck, then the terrorists have won

The sad thing is that 20+ writers spend several months writing each episode, and they still aren't funny.

LOL

Simpsons has been with us for years, the first real adult Cartoon and now its gone sucky. They bring new ones like Family Guy and Futurama and cancel those even though they are fresh and more funny that Simpsons.

<- still pissed that they canceled family guy and futurama :|

This is why Jerry Seinfeld cancelled his own show after nine seasons, before it went over the hill... Friends sucks now too. It's bound to happen to even the best shows... they just run out of funny things that can be applied to a such a rigid framwork.

But if Conan was one of two or three writers doing each episode, they'd all be funny...

Conan = God

has anyone noticed that maybe like 2-3 years ago, all the new sitcoms have gotten worst? it doesn't seem like they like to build up a story or a joke and use it throughout an episode? i miss sitcoms like seinfield where the whole episode was based on one or two little things, and they build upon them...
the newer comedies seem like all they want is to get people to laugh with one lines...i'm so tired of one line jokes that i can't stand to watch sitcoms
good thing it seems like frasier hasn't really gotten like that yet

Yep, that was the only thing I laughed at too.

 

[yakko]

I rarely like the ones with Abe anyway.

Really? I thought that this weeks episode was MUCH stupider than the Simpsons.

 

[CubicZirconia]

I'm hoping they pull the show out of the current rut it is in. If they can just do that, they show will be good for another 15 years.

Bleck...just saw it on the west coast...awful

The only reason to tune in anymore is to hear Jasper. Did you see him go Couching Tiger when that "gang" stepped up to them. He's the only decent character left.
