You can download a 200mb TV show, but not a 1mb bittorrent client?

Bittorrent is incredibly slow for me because I'm at university.

That show was just so stupid, yet somehow watchable. I didn't watch any of The Apprentice, so I can't really compare the parody aspect of it. The redhead on the show, however, is seriously smoking.

Getting back to the Simpsons, wow. It was like they've managed to suck everything that was once funny out of the show. What happened to the great Treehouse of Horror episodes? These ones are just stupid. Shrinking the Simpsons and flying into Burns' body? What the hell, am I back in third grade watching the Magic Schoolbus here? What happened to good stories, like when the school locks the kids up and eats them? Having Octoberfest when they eat Uter (sp?), checking on the free range children (one of my favorite Simpson's lines of all time)? Do they even have writers anymore, or do they just randomly draw things and then decide to add sound after the fact?

Agreed. I'm halfway through and entirely bored.

I've come to conclusion that ToH has sucked ever since they stopped warning parents that it may scare their kids. It's been toned down enough that it no longer has an edge.
