Whats the deal with the Simpsons not being as funny anymore? I don't even bother to remind myself to watch anymore...it's a shame really...I would rather just surf ATOT sometimes

They ripped that gag off of the Family Guy. They run the same gag over and over for a minute at a time sometimes. (Peter getting kicked in the shin by the oompa-loompa and falling down and hurting his knee in that one episode...*hisss* *aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh* *hisssss* *aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*...)

That's what I immediately thought of too. Doesn't mean it wasn't funny though.

Seems like the Simpsons has improved over the last couple of seasons, but they'll never be what they were back in the mid 90s. At least I'm laughing out loud at 'em again...

I thought this was a great episode, I laughed out loud many times, and that's something that hasn't happened the past few seasons.

yeah, um,... Sideshow Bob rake joke. He keeps stepping on one over and over.
From: "Cape Feare"
Original airdate: 7-Oct-93


Family Guy knee episode: "Wasted Talent"
Original airdate: 24-July-2000


if they're ripping off anyone, it's themselves. but 'excessive repetition' is a special corner of comedy that could hardly be credited to either the Simpsons or Family Guy ...
