I didn't do anything other than express my opinion. Or was this not a discussion about how bad something (ie: The SImpsons) is? I didn't say that The Simpsons is the be-all, end-all of tv programming, either, I just think that it's not as bad as some folks portray it.
I'm sorry for having a contradicting opinion, tho.
I don't mind opposing opinions. What I don't like is generalising. Do you get it now? The people who ***** that it's terrible just like to GRIPE about things. Do you get it now?Nemu said:

I have to respond cos you made me laugh. Love that I irked you this much, especially since I said no more than other folks have in this topic. Have a great day!
That's why British comedy shows are great. Because they know when to stop.
Monty Python? Three seasons (AND ONLY THREE THERE WAS NO FOURTH AND SHUT UP) and some movies. And done! Left people wanting for more and still laughing.
Fawlty Towers? Only two season and that's because it was enough to fully explore the concept and leave while it was still funny.

The Simpsons does not need to die... The Simpsons needs to be reborn. The series was amazing until about season 6 then once season 11 came the show took a big dive. then after the movie it started to get really freaking funny again. This show needs to get rid of the writing staff and get some new ones, so they can have some fresh ideas.
For me, The Simpsons and Family Guy just massively went down at one point, and they both became a lot more interesting. I went back to earlier episodes of both shows, and it's definitely me not liking what either of them have become.
Problem with these shows, is they tend to sort of parody themselves, making their characters more extreme. I found Simpsons more entertaining when Homer wasn't just stupid, and did the odd clever thing now and again. In the later series, he seems to have lost more of his braincells.
If it was me, I would kill off the show, but I know that isn't going to happen so I.... don't watch it. Just have to find other things to watch, that are amusing to me. Ah, thankyou internets

SERIOUSLY its time to put the simpsons to sleep! theyve had a great run and have been good for a while, but now its gotten so bland and horrible i cant even watch the new episodes at this point.
hmmm i actually like the newer ones and i think the older ones are boring, ive just watched one of the latest ones (Angry Dad: The Movie) and ive never laughed so much at a Simpsons episodes... i think its hit n miss like with all the animated shows, some are just pure gold that become awesome memorable episodes, others just bomb...
To quote Cracked, "The Simpsons are like having a shitty house guest who also happens to be Mahatma Gandhi. Sure, they can't take the hint that it's time to leave, but you can't exactly kick them out."
I suppose not. Appearantly it does with as much reaction I've gotten from the statement.maninahat said:
Businesses just dont give two damns about any one person, or really many groups (you'd have to be big to actually impress the people at the heart of the simpsons nation). The Simpsons are like EA and activision. They package tired overdone mediocrity and know that people like us (not so much you and me us, more widescale numbers us) will jump through hoops and stand on our hind legs just to get it.
People who watch the show and complain later are trained dogs, and thats about as simple as it gets.
Eh, I quit watching a while ago, I can't say I care for the newer stuff...
But hey, that's just my opinion.
Of course, it'll still keep running as long as people keep watching and it makes money, so... yeah.

I've stopped watching years ago.
But I never was a big fan in the first place. Sure, it was kinda funny, but never really that good. Except when Mr. Burns was on it, then it was hilarious.
That might have been a big part of the reason why I never liked it that much, all my favourite characters were minor ones, I'd tune in in case they'd be on, and end up watching a lot of the show that was just kinda okay.

You're right, you know. It reminds me of shows on the escapist. Game Dogs would recieve hundreds of comments talking about how shit it is, presumably from people who watch it every week just to see how shit it is. The chances of a show being kept on at the escapist is based on its popularity, so when all these nay sayers continue to watch it they increase its ratings, sending the wrong message. That is why I try not to watch any Lisa Foyles' Top 5 work.emeraldrafael said:
