The Simpsons.. Why?  email this discussion to a friend?

Slickdag (50)   ranked 2,231 out of 4,081 in watching television 2 years ago

Is it me or has the Simpsons just been declining after their 500th episode? I mean I have seen ALMOST all of the episodes and I have noticed a decline the comedic values of it and the overall purpose?

I dont understand why Matt Groening isnt focusing on Futurama more, that show was AMAZING from the beginning, the Simpsons was too, but it is slowly declining. I mean I love the show but its just not funny to me any more.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any specifics?
I just want someone else to have the same opinion as I have and see what I have been seeing for a few years now.

I think the Simpson's began their decline years ago!!! After a while, it just becomes the same old thing!!!! After so many episodes, they have just run out of new ideas!!!

So true. On top of that the idea they come up with are not in any way funny to me. Its so sad to see a show like that decline, but it was bound to happen eventually

I agree with you bro, it is declining probably trying to meet the PG rating or has mellowed down its criticism to the society. One of my favorite TV series of all time, it has been a hobby for me to regularly watch the Simpsons for how they deliver its idea is hilarious. and of course, my favorite Homer Simpson.. "DUH!" lol

well i disagree, it is the show i loved 10 years ago. ofcourse a tv show that exist for more than a decade can have recurring events.

The Simpsons isn't as good as it once was is something that has been stated since about the third of fourth season of the show, and continues to this very day. Yet they keep making quality shows. Heck the first few seasons when this was stated are some of the best seasons of Simpsons ever as far as many are concerned. I think it's a bit of a generational show, kind of like Dr Who, whatever bits of the Simpsons you watch first are your favorite and most remembered.

And Groening stopped focusing on Futurama for a while because Fox CANCELLED IT! He wanted both to succeed, and we get a new legit season of Futurama this year. I think both shows are great myself.
