The Simpsons (1/12/03)

[RalphWiggum]

I liked the interview with Ralph and the police announcement when they were looking for Lisa.
I don't remember exactly how it went, but they said she was wearing a red lamp shade and that cracled me up.
The episodes this season have been a lot better thankfully. The past 2 seasons were making a lot of fans despair I believe.

I think the Simpsons have shifted its humour though, like the first few sesons it was trying to be a sitcom, as the shows revolved around problems with bart, and family, as the show preogressed it became funnier as they revolved around homer and his schemes, probably the best writing for any comedy TV show, but the last few years its gotten so bizzare with the gags, and so random, its like there trying very hard to be funny. I am not saying its terrible, its still a great show, worthy of being on, but the quality dip is very noticable

damn good observation

I've been wondering who the writers were during the Homer humour phase. I'm thinking maybe Phil Hartman and Conan o'Brien did some writing for the show and possibly even Kelsey Grammar.

The interview was the best

Raplh: Lisa is a girl that goes to my school
PI: yes, you've said that....four times.

That scene with Skinner and the PI was kinda funny

Conan O'Brien was one of the original writers for the Simpsons. Things dropped off dramatically once he started in on his own show. The Simpsons are still funny but miss some of the raw humor of the originals.
