I don't think it's been worth watching for over a decade.
The Simpsons.
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
Al Jean has been there from the start though hasn't he?
The showrunner doesn't have a great deal of input in the creative side. Very harsh to put all the blame on them for it, it's just a case of alot of the 3-8 writers going elsewhere or becoming creatively bankrupt within The Simpsons universe. Swartzwelder being the best example, his final few episodes were kinda bad despite him being one of the best long time writers in the show.
Though I definitely think the show has somewhat deteriorated over the last few years, I still find it better than Family Guy.
I find with the newer episodes when i watch them that they tend to start off amusing for the first 5mins then go very dire usually bursting into song or something. Not to sure what it is with yank shows and singing do people actually think it's cool?
Shake harder boy!
I've got to watch that lemon tree episode again, right now.
"Hey....there's a lemon behind that rock!"
Why not enjoy both shows without having to claim that one is better then the other?
The Simpsons is infinitely better than anything Family Guy has ever done or will ever do.
Because you're morally obliged to belittle people's opinion when it comes to Family Guy
Simpsons was still good until about season 16/17. Maybe not as good as its peak in the first ten seasons but still funny to watch. The episode where Sideshow Bob is a mayor somewhere in Italy was quality and that was in season 16 I think.
Anything after that is unwatchably unfunny. I've tried to watch some of seasons 18-19 onwards and I have to force myself to laugh at anything and give up after about 2 minutes.
Family Guy completely pales in comparison to the Simpsons. The level of sophistication in Simpsons is unparalleled.

Am I the only person that just doesn't quite get family guy? Not even comparing it to the Simpsons, I've just never found anything I've seen on it funny. At all.
Me too.
This season has Simpson has been the best in years. Good so far.
Family Guy hasn't been funny for a good 3 years. The last season of Family Guy was the worst television season I've seen. American Dad has been much better since it came out.

Are you shitting me? Lois, Meg and Chris are 3 of the most irrelevant main characters in television. Peter is just too stupid. Stewie, Brian and Quaghmire make that show.
When Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein left, it sorta went kablooey. Still though, Weinstein writes for Futurama these days and the new season is good. Such a shame FOX cancelled King of the Hill.
Turning point for The Simpsons to be Maude's death but Season 11 still has some funny episodes.

Just watched this episode, my all time favourite.
"Me shack! Me beautiful shack! And I just got it the way I like it."
Flicking over to it and within seconds a classic quote.
EDIT: Just realised it's the kidz news episode with the helper monkey.
"I can't wait to eat that monkey"
What happened to the thread that was just Simpsons quotes? Was that saved? I literally used to laugh out loud just reading it.
It's a sad state of affairs when one has to preface the act of 'lol'ing with 'actually' or 'literally.' I do agree though, that thread was hilarious.
I refuse to actually write lol or lolling. I'm not 12. I make a point of spelling it out in as complicated a way as possible just to be difficult.
Mockney thread read good!
''ya used me skinner, ya used me''
Classic Simpsons on C4 now...Plenty of Hartman too.
"Last Exit to Springfield (the one with the Dental Plan) is on next...Season 6 I think...One of the all time greats

burns falls out of helicopterHaven't watched any episodes for almost an year.
'yeah, that's one fine looking barbecue pit....why doesn't mine look like that!?' Probably one of the funniest scenes in Simpsons history on that veetle channel there
Showing the episode where Homer takes erotic photos now.
Because of this thread I have gotten season 5 and 9 today. Already got 7 and 8.
Season 4 starts at 9.20am on that veetle channel.
At least I've worked out what time I'm getting up tomorrow.
