    It still has the odd good episode, but yeah, it's pretty vapid now. The characters are just talking heads. Still heaps of classic episodes to look back on. I hated the movie too. Typical they bring in new characters and celebrities and forget about old Burnsy and co. They should of made it more about the town and had Burns as the villain or someone else relevant.

      Jules, dude, love ya man, but I see this in so many of your posts and it's a huge peeve of mine...

      "should of"

      It's "should have" or its contraction, "should've." Just like "could've" and "would've."

      "Of" is a preposition. Grammatically (and realistically) you can't should/would/could "of" anything.

      This is a writing board, so I'm just trying to help.

          I abandoned the Simpsons immediately after I discovered Family Guy.

            Looks like someone just broke 5000 posts

            Family Guy is kind of vulgar, isn't it?

            I can't imagine what old people must think when they see it.

              Uh-oh, Opti. You've just broken a universal law that goes something like this: Those who point out grammatical errors in front of everyone are doomed to commit even worse blunders before much time passes.

              Jake Schuster (whom I dig very much, so this is not a flame of any sort) used to constantly correct people on DD; but even he -- a veritable grammar and vocabulary god -- was not above this particular law. His punishment was to write "compliment" when he meant "complement."

              I was shocked when I saw it. So much so that I almost fainted.

              But it felt good to know he was human.

              I wonder what your punishment will be, Mr. Prime.

                One of the major reasons why I like Family Guy so much is because it's so fearless. They will do anything on that show regardless of how vulgar or offensive or ridiculous it may be, which is in stark contrast to the Simpson's PG brand of humor.

                And I promise that my next 5,000 posts will contain something of value.

                    The Simpsons died around Season 9 when they decided to oversaturate Homer by making him the main character (instead of Bart) and by relying on guest stars to bump up ratings instead of focussing on writing funny yet emotional episodes based on real life experiences and not out and out wacky ****!

                      These "The Simpsons are dead" threads are as boring than an infomerical. So, the show's not as hip as it once was. Big deal. I rather watch it than some dumb, narcissistic reality show. Besides, if it weren't for "The Simpsons", there wouldn't be a "Family Guy" (which is half-good, half bad at best), and creator Seth McFarlane knows it.
