Everyone cries about how the quality of the show has declined. People have been saying that for 8 years now.

Boo-hoo. If you don't like it anymore, don't watch it. I know I will be watching.

WOO HOO!

Nicely put.

I missed the episode where they went to Disneyland/world... and Homer broke in to buy a $16 churro, or something to that effect. Was it good?

Peace,

nah... principle skinner got a call from mother so he had to stand up mrs k, so bart nominates her for teacher of the year. she becomes a finalist because she puts up with him. so they all win a trip to the worst amusement park in florida, epcott center. skinner follows, but brings mom along so mrs k is still mad at him. so he tries to sabotage the teacher of the year awards, admits it while bart is pretending he can't read (which is the sabotage). the award goes to someone else after skinner and mrs k confess their love, and then homer tries to break into disney world.

Frink(past): Sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch it, but I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the 5 richest kings of Europe can own one.


thats the greatest simpsons quote

episode wasnt that bad. i enjoyed the enron rollercoaster. yay! were rich. noooo, were broke. yay, we broke even! (ride finishes out in the poorhouse) i still enjoy the show, its hard to be original after so many years, so give them credit for still ringing out classic lines. so i am happy with this news.

No, please. Please kill it now, and put it out of its misery. The Simpsons are the worst example of "milking it" imaginable. They are well beyond the point of dying an honorable death. As far as I know, Seinfeld is the only show that died a truly honorable death.

I totally agree. Even if it's not quite as good as it used to be, it's still better than 99% of the dreck on TV. It still makes me laugh out loud, which is something I can't say about most shows.

Ugh. You people who whine about it still being on are retarded. If you don't like it, don't f*cking watch it. There are no less than 90384 shows on at the same time that you can choose from instead.

Simpsons reruns rock. New episodes aren't nearly as good. There were about 4 years there where it was just ON. Before those four years...ehhh. After those four years...ehhhhhh.

Some are, while others are downright terrible.
Yep, it's like they're on autopilot some weeks, then BAM, funny as hell again
