The Simpsons.... time to end it

SpeedFreak · 6 Dec 2010 at 21:18

Watching some episodes recently I 'm starting to think that it's time to stop. It's been great while it's lasted but it's pretty clear that the writers are out of ideas. I just don't find it funny anymore, Family Guy on the other hand still cracks me up.

I agree. The cast doing the voices don't sound as enthusiastic as the earlier ones. And why did they change the opening titles? :confused:

Talk about shooting yourself.

I think out of all of the cartoon sitcoms, Futurama is king. It is hilarious.

Not sure why I put this in GD by the way

I don't know about ending production, but certainly it's time to stop showing Simpsons repeats at 6pm every day.

Watch American Dad instead, the latest episode was so hilarious I lolled all the way to 1:30AM last night

Simpsons is surviving on Idiotic Celebs and Singing! , To think it was about a disfunctional family now it's just stupidity and not making any sense.

The latest christmas episode for example !

It's long past the point of being allowed to die a dignified death TBH.

Still, infinitely better than Americanfamilydad.

The last couple of series haven't been their worst, they definitely took a nose dive around the time Futurama/Family Guy/American Dad came out.

I still watch all the new ones.

I'd be lost without it but I wouldn't be sad to see it go.

If that makes sense.

Edit: Futurama is the of the bunch.

I thought this towards the end of Season 9 to be honest.

Futurama > Family Guy > Simpsons.

Simpsons stopped being good around Season 13. Should have stopped then.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

No.

The new intros seem to last about 10 minutes.
Loving American dad atm.

I never get this " Its time for it to stop" malarkey. People obviously still enjoy watching it so why would you want to stop these people enjoying the program Just because it no longer meets your standards, if you don't like the simpsons simply don't watch it.

The Simpsons was good 10 years ago, it's pretty much a zombie now.

Family Guy and American Dad seem pretty hit and miss.

Do they though, or do they just have it on because there's nothing better? There's a big difference.

The number of people watching it has dropped significantly year on year.

No.

Like, totally yes.

Then South Park came along and beat them all combined by at least over 9K.

Well if they are watching it because their is nothing better on , it obviously makes it the best thing on tv at that time. So why would you moan about the best of the worst? why not complain about the other rubbish programs which you chose not to watch instead.
