Lionel Hutz was probably my favourite character back in the day.
"Next case, the National Council of Churches vs Lionel Hutz"
"Oh yeah, that thing"

I'd always wondered why they'd disappeared. Mental.
I had actually never noticed that they disappeared, however now when I think about it, I can only remember the characters from earlier episodes.
Phil Hartman on NewsRadio is good stuff. His death really was a shame, and a tragic one, damn great guy.
Two of the greatest minutes in TV history imo
My favourite episode is the Cat Burglar one, every single line is funny.
Jumped the Shark for me when they came up with the Arman Tamzarian bullshit for Skinner, totally destroying a good character.
Hard to believe when you look at the shit they've been churning out for over a decade that we used to regularly get episodes like 'Deep Space Homer', 'Flaming Moe', 'Monorail' 'Radio Bart', 'Blood Feud' & 'Last Exit to Springfield' on a weekly basis.

I stopped watching the new episodes after that episode where they altered the series entire history, having Homer and Marge meeting each other in the 90's, all for a lazy Nirvana parody.
It got shit shortly after season 9, the humour wasn't quite as intelligent.
Bound to happen with every tv series that goes on for as long as the simpsons has to be fair.
It keeps getting renewed. So it must still be very popular.
Its my all time favourite show, but I never watch it anymore

Up to 1998 it was the greatest show ever made. Utter genius.
It keeps getting renewed because of the ridiculous money they make from merchandise, I don't actually think the ratings are that high anymore.
I thought anything past episode 300 was utter dross. It was only just bearable up until that point before the decline set in.
My favorite episode has to either be the soap box derby, or the puppy one with that song!

It gets renewed because of it's worldwide success....it could less viewers than 4m regularly in america and they'd still keep it on due to that, as it still gets solid numbers in almost every other main country too, not many shows transcend cultures as good as the Simpsons.
And the episode where it officially dropped it's greatness was when they "revealed" Principal Skinner to be a fake or something. What an insult to its audience that was.
However I haven't watched many episodes since like 14....but I did see Eternal Moonshine, which was a welcome surprise. very good episode. I'd still like to own all sets on DVD though, just for the sake of it(I have up to 12 or 13 now, but haven't watched the last two really, but for £12, whatever.)

Genuinely the best comedy scene I've ever seen on TV. myself and my friend quote it constantly.
The Simpsons was a joy to way all those years ago. We constantly quote it on nights out.
I only really stopped watching The Simpsons because Family Guy came along and stole its best bits and made them better.
Peter > Homer
Stewie > Bart
Lois > Marge
I suppose Lisa is better than Meg. Shut up, Meg.

good one.
That's like saying Lee Nelson's > Ali G. He's complete shite.
Simpsons is pure brilliance, Family guy is more potty mouth slurry.
I really like Family Guy but its not a patch on old Simpsons
No.
Brian > Santa's Little Helper
It's one thing to say that Family Guy is better now than the Simpsons is, but to claim it's improved on the Simpson's at it's best, is lunacy bordering on imbecility.
This tells you a bit, peaked with the eight season and just hasn't been funny since season 13.
