Simpsons gets 2 more years

[imported_Imp]

Newer episodes (last few years:roll have been craptastic. I hate the political crap they put in, but I just can't see the show ending nor do I really want it to. It's just "fun" to watch reruns and catch one I haven't seen yet.

and homer the food critic, all great episodes.

Is poo-poo one word or two?

Yet they refuse to let Arrested Development go another season.


The Simpsons started to get really stupid when they decided to have a celebrity voice on every episode. It's become less of trying to make a funny story and more about how they can fit some celebrity icon in... and it's always stupid.

Simpsons still has great ratings, and as long as ratings are good, fox would be dumb to cancel it.

That horse broke it's leg a long time ago. But Fox doesn't have the balls to pull the trigger.

 

[Cooler]

At least Futurama will get some new eposodes that show is so much better then the simpsons.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

The Simpsons suck ass.

I hope that new Futurama episodes are made and aired.

Why would they pull the trigger on one of their most watched shows.

Yea, I had nothing... I was trying to imply it was a battle of geezers, by the progressivley lower dates specified for Simpson suckiness...

In hindsight, I probably should have just not bothered...

Even a bad episode of the Simpsons is better than most network television.

"Daddy i am GAY!!!, Mrs. Simpson has made me Gay!!!!" hahahahah that was funny.

funny on its basic, slapstick level (ala family guy type humor).

about the stupidest thing posted in this entire thread. family guy couldn't be further from that.

My beef with Family Guy is the same beef I have with South Park (though I personally think FG is a better show than SP). I think both shows rely excessively on shock value for their humor, and I regard this as a crutch. I am not easily offended (I'm a fanatical Howard Stern fan), and I have never taken umbrage at anything I've seen on either show; I just think they rely on profanity and shock in lieu of real wit and creativity. Ultimately I find them both a little dull as a result.

The Simpsons does have a constant slapstick humor, but it also has amazing depth, richness, and cultural literacy. I find it vastly more satisfying and interesting than FG, and nothing I've seen over the past few years convinces me otherwise. Even a mediocre Simpsons episode pleases me more than a "great" FG show. Obviously everyone has a different standard.

Perhaps I'm biased in that I have been watching the Simpsons since the very first Christmas special, before the series even started (though I didn't regularly watch the Tracey Ullman show, where they originated in prototype form), but I have watched, and been disappointed with a lot of cartoon series since that have tried, and failed, to capitalize on the Simpsons' success (including The Critic, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, and so on). To me it is still the best by a large margin.
