Thats definatly a problem, the most re used story being Homer and Marge's marital problems which has probably been used as an episode plot at least 30-40 times, and also used in the movie some what. The only problem is now the newer retelling of this story isnt as entertaining or whitty.SomeBritishDude said:
perhaps you could have made this thread a poll? i'd gladly have said that i stopped watching it quite a few years ago.
OT:
ya, its done. They should stop now, (or about 8 years ago) when they are still respected.

hey dont worry about it, we all have to start somewhere, right? go check out Insanum's video, look it up in the searchbar if you have any concerns about this site. he's got it all.Toasted Nuts said:YerFlshrImp said:first thread n all didnt think about it as i was writing.
The Simpsons is funny. People who whine and go 'The last good episode aired in the '90s!' are suffering from Nostalgic longing. The Simpsons is/was/always-will-be funny.
Is this making sense to you?
I call this the Charlie Brown effect. When Peanuts ended at Charles Schultz's death the comic strip had shaped the industry so drastically in it's early days that at it's end in 2000 it had almost become irrelevant. But still, people love Charlie Brown and, maybe even more so, people love The Simpsons.SomeBritishDude said:

I see your point and of course your right things that are on for so long will be less at the forefront, and to be on for such a sustained period the show has to be good.marioman360 said:
But saying that i feel it is continuing on its past success and though people still love, it and i would still say i love the show as a whole for all the great memories of watching it, but the new episodes just arent that great and when i think back on the simpsons as someone who loved the show i wont be thinking of these new episodes that much.
I stopped watching at least four years ago (don't know what that would be from a series point of view).
Even then, the only ones I watched were reruns of the previous seasons, so in fact I probably stopped watching sometime around 12/13 season (at a guess, I don't know for sure). I was never religiously into it, and I just stopped finding it funny. I know some people who still like it though, but those people also like Little Britain, and jokes about crippled children being beaten to death.
Not that I'm drawing a correlation...

I'll put it like this. The Simpsons are around because they are GOOD. I rather watch that then the crap Seth MacFarlane put out.
Thats fair enough, we just got the Cleveland show over here and... its painful to watch to be honest.Halaxis said:
Well that really depends if you are a Simpsons fan or not, I'm part of the latter, but watching old episodes of the Simpsons brings some real nostalgia to me as it was part of my childhood and influenced my creative abilities that I have today, to see it go would be a shame, but I can honestly say I wouldn't care if that much if it did because to me the old Simpsons is my childhood, the new Simpsons doesn't have the same effect on me.
Well Simon Cowell apparently wants to bring the UK singing talent show over to the US the X Factor and he has quit American Idol hasnt he? So ermSyphonX said:
you could well have another American Idol.
What about the option that says... Its good, its not yet run its course, and can get a few more years out of it?
