It is one of the worst shows on television. I'm tired of it riding it's reputation from the early nineties. It is not funny at all. The movie was also pretty lame. There are move funny moments in one episode of a 1993 Simpsons that there have been in this entire season or in the film. Seinfeld went off the air before they ran out of jokes. It's now too late for Simpsons. They need to go ahead and it end it before it gets any worse.

Anyway, the episode on right now is a pathetic excuse for comedy.

I agree The Simpsons is terrible. I think it when I was younger but I see now that its simply not funny. I dont how people still watch it. I never saw the movie and I dont plan too. There is much better comedy on TV.

Was a huge fan in the early nineties, but have not watched the show on a regular basis in 5+ years. It did go downhill.

Do yourself a favor and don't start. Honestly, I feel like if The Simpsons started off with shows of this quality it never would have made it to season 2. It hasn't been good in a long time. Tonight's episode was a spoof on Nirvana. The writers had the nerve to slam anyone who liked Weird Al, while simultaneously putting out a show where the only jokes were the rewritten words of Nirvana songs. Awful.

Reminds me of that South Park episode: "Simpsons did it!".

I like it from time to time but honestly I can't tell you when I've watched a "new" episode.

The Simpsons was nothing short of amazing during the middle of the series. They have gone too far with the series... I did like the movie. I can't stop watching though... Seen all the episodes and it would feel weird to stop...

The last couple of seasons of South Park, Family Guy, and The Simpsons can't compare to some of their earlier years. Family Guy and South Park are still pretty good, but they aren't where they were.

Yea, I have started to wonder if South Park has reached their peak and are on the descent like The Simpsons.

South Park has had some classics the last few years. I think that show has actually gotten a lot better than the first few years when they were basically just playing off the odd idea of little kids dropping swear words.

The episode about Native Americans, Michael Jackson, and Family Guy were right on.

To me they are really hit or miss though. I am either laughing my arse off or searching for something to laugh at.

The last couple seasons of South Park weren't nearly as good as the 5 or so seasons before IMO. Like the Simpsons, it appears to be on a roller coaster, and it is on its downside now... Don't get me wrong. It isn't bad, but the Nintendo Wii episdoe is garbage in comparison to episodes like the Rainforest Schmainforest Episode.

I missed the Wii episode. But every now and then they tackle an issue and somehow sum it all up better than any newscaster/analyst ever could through the adventure of four little kids. When they do that, I'm always impressed. I've missed a lot of episodes this season, so I can't comment too much. Still, it isn't like they've had 8 years of complete crap like The Simpsons have.

There's an episode where Cartman goes back in time to witness the Declaration of Independence and somehow relates that spirit of rebellion to the Get Out of Iraq/Support the Troops debate. That was gold.

Absolutely what I have thought. There are just times when you can't help but think how true the point they are making is.

Most notably, the smoking episode, the voting episode, the wall mart episode, the hippie episode, and the rainforest episode.

Yea, they do a damn good job at that. I remember when they did the episode of the woman in FL on life support, the ex-hubby wanted to cut her off and the family wanted to keep her alive. I forget her name, but they did a great job of it.

The 100th episode. Perfectly played by those two guys.

Terry Schiavo.

That was the one with Kenny dieing. (again)

Nothing like the public television of "If I'm in a vegetative state, please don't put me on national TV. That would be really embarrassing."

There was one on the other night where they were sending up global warming and media sensationalism. "We estimate over 100 billion people have already died."

"Since the population is only 8,000, this is a major catastrophe."

The first one I've watched in a long time was the WoW episode. Was funny, but they show has changed a LOT comapred to when it began. I remember in the late 90's South Park was everywhere. Nothing will top the movie though; I wish they'd make another one.

One of my favorite quotes from the series, was part of the song at the end of the rain forest episode. "Activists, can go **** yourselves!"
