I have been watching the Simpsons since I was 5 years old and never got enough of it. Seen them all to The Simpsons get Santa's Little Helper to Moe hanging around with Maggie.(Season 1-14) But they are getting very boring I'll still watch to the end. My favourite episodes are when Sideshow Bob appears. They are so great: Cape Fear! Thats the best episode! SO MANY FUNNY PARTS! Sideshow Bob's steps on rakes to Homer Thompson!
I wish they would stick to the storyline once in awhile! (I heard there is going to be 16 seasons)
*HAPPY DAYS FOREVER!*

Yeah ... two more years (Eventually surpassing OZZIE & HARRIETT, which is a major feat). But let me say something: if the show is to survive, two things must happen:
- The writing had better improve
- Follow the rule from when the show was still great (Not "good," but "great") -- focus one one subject; don't have about a dozen random things happening at once. It gets really boring and somewhat aggravating

The Simpsons has about thirty writers on their staff, which means there is a room filled with writers throwing out jokes. Is it any wonder that the show is filled with non sequiters and shifting plots?

But the writing has gotten stale. It used to be great; the show used to be hilarious and exciting on a consistant basis. Now, barely any of the gags and jokes are funny; and there is more "randomness" than there ever was.

There was only 1 episode that I hated. The Mansion Family. How crap can you get? Marge was nagging more than ever! She didn't even let Homer phone a single country! If everybody in Springfield won an award than Homer, That means Barney got an award, Hans won an award and Moe won an award! And I thought nobody liked him?! Homer did millions of good things for the city, such as bieng the safety watchdog of Springfield in series1, Peformed charity work and saved Ned's popularity, started his own plow buisness, etc., And this is the town's way to say thank you!? embarrising him in an award cerymony?!! Marge treated Homer like a baby in Burns' mansion! Not letting him do at least one thing wealthyly reach! Pirates in the Simpsons? That's the worst thing since the twin towers fell down! And they didn't have huge ANY small originality! For example, they didn't like hardcore nudity or were alchoholics. They were just pirates. Plain, bloodthirsty pirates from Peter Pan. That's the truth.

That's the only time Matt's imagination wen to far. Don't like it? TS!
