Its still better than Futurama though

Classic Simpsons or the Simpsons now?

Classic Simpsons is definitely ahead of Futurama.

The Simpsons now are leagues behind where Futurama was...

Is there actually any sign of the simpsons ending any time soon.There on season 17 now i think. They'll hardly take it over 20 will they?

nope dont think so, and teh films gone in to pre production, or production :rolleyes:

I remember they said they would never make a film until the show was as funny as it used to be. I guess they seen that wasnt happening any time soon and thought there wallets felt light.

Yeah loyatemu, I'd pretty much agree with that...season 9 has one, maybe two episodes worth remembering...can't even find any in season 10 that are worth remembering... it just gets worse and worse from there as we get up to:

Lol...you block me because you can't take what I have to say? Sad indeed.

I'm also from Dublin...just live in Kildare.

Whats with all the anger?Cant we all just get along?
A movie is dodgy because it can be like an episode.You can have terrible episodes and brilliant ones. a bit hit and miss.

Hey...of course we can

Except apparantly my opinion meant that I watched a ton of crap comedy instead of intelligent comedy...according to that tool anyway.

We should get Dr Phil in to solve our problems!!!He could point at us and then try and sell us his book!!!Works every time.

The simpsons was great when it started and it continues to improve season after season. Long may it continue.

See if you can pinpont where it all went wrong

Dr. Nick · 11-12-2005 08:55PM

It's the best show ever, tonight's new episode was weak though, as have some recent ones.

11-12-2005 11:27PM

I stopped watching on a regular basis in 1998, just couln't be bothered anymore. But it was brilliant before that.

I think the Frank Grimes episode (Homer's Enemy under Season Eight) is where there were clear traces of the show declining in quality, mainly because it's the transition of Homer becoming the fucking moron he's been for the past eight years.

On the subject of Season Eight, while it wasn't as great as past seasons, there's still quite a few funny episodes in there and I'd still consider it in the "golden age" of The Simpsons.

Season Nine is definetly when the show quickly jumped the shark imo and I seriously despise all seasons past this one. Haven't seen anything good come out of Springfield since 1997! It's been that long?!

The episode where they killed off Maude Flanders (as a result of Homer's actions) was around the time when I completely cut off from watching any future episodes of the show.

Are talking bout the same simpsons? Are you watching some alternate good version because it really has gone downhill and its just being milked by fox now just so they can hold onto the simpson name.
I guess everybodys entitled to their opinion.

I'll be interested to see episode 17x15 (the upcoming episode written by Ricky Gervais). It has the potential to be the funniest episode in over 9 years!

Well, that wouldn't be hard. :rolleyes:

The last 5 years, at least, have been fu*king sh1t. :mad:

This new season on Sky One is absolute rubbish.

He might be serious, but he's wrong.

Yep, that's spot on. The Frank Grimes episode is where TheSimpsons died as a show and where Homer first changed into that blissfully-oblivious, soulless-idiot type character hurtling thru life without a care in the world and seemingly without motivation for anything he does.

I hate that Frank Grimes episode with a passion. It has absolutely no emotion in it whatsoever.

Just read that entire thread and it made me a bit sad. Bring back the classic Simpsons!

Morgans · 27-02-2007 12:00PM

I ignore the simpsons now. Its a shame really. Had they stopped in the late nineties, (possibly when Phil Hartman died) it would correctly be considered the greatest tv program of all time. They have simply ruined their legacy by going on too long.

As for the Family Guy being better. Family Guy is like a sqeaky fart. Funny, but any five year old could do it. I thought the South park manatee skit was well placed. The Simpsons in their heyday, wasnt just the funniest cartoon, but also up there with the most intellegent comedy on television. Those who have persisted with it have ruined the memory. Its a shame.

shane86 · 01-03-2007 11:29AM

Quite liked the Grimey episode myself.

Personally I thought the 1st series of Family Guy was the only brilliant one, Im mystified as to its later popularity (people only started watching it around series 3 onwards and thought it was the dogs bollix). Seldom laughed as hard at South Park than the episodes sending up the sometimes funny but ultimately pointless and stupid flashbacks.

30txsbzmcu2k9w · 01-03-2007 11:48AM

i reckon its still great.Fair enough waay to many celeb guest appearances (simon cowell episode being particularily poor) but it still makes me laugh.

I like the way the characters have developed , plus the writers have changed the show allowing other characters in Springfield to shine aswell.
I found alot of the old episodes too sacherine sweet with family values, theres less emphassis on Marge and Lisa now and that can only be a good thing.

Wrong, Sir! Wrong!

I'm afraid the Simpsons today is a shambles, a mess and nothing compared to what it was in its prime. There is no disputing the fact that it just doesn't contain the laughs or the heart it once did.

zuutroy · 02-03-2007 09:05PM

My 2 cents: up to and including 10 is gold. The number of good ones in 11 begins to diminish. The last couple have had 2 or 3 good episodes. Pretty much agree with the comments here, even though they're well old!
