I saw the first episode of the new season of the Simpsons and I have to say that it was pretty crappy. It was the latest Treehouse of Horror installment (Halloween Special) and this piece of crap didn't make me smile once! It was just so damn unfunny it was painful! I now know why everyone is saying that they should've canceled this show years ago. It's obvious that the writers are either running out of ideas or they just don't give a fuck!
I've recently rented Season 4 of the Simpson and although I've seen these episodes a dozen times each, they STILL make me laugh which is more than I can say with recent episodes. It's like watching two different shows.
I found out why there was such a downgrade over the years listening to the commentary...apparently a lot of writers quit the show and were basically replaced with hacks. Too bad. Guess that was the beginning of the end.
I also saw Malcolm in The Middle and King of the Hill. Okay, it's just getting so weird watching that Malcolm kid grow up. His voice is now deeper than mine and I think he had a growth spurt, but the show just continues to get better with each season. The same with King of the Hill. I wouldn't be surprised if that's where all the former Simpsons writers work now.
Sheesh...16 seasons is enough. I would say that it's time for the Simpsons to quit while they're on top, but it's too late for that now. What a shame.

Last season was the best season to date.
ReplyDeleteLast night's episode was weak though, but I think the season will be good. This Treehouse of Horrors thing may have run its course.
