The Simpsons now > Anything else on TV other than My Name Is Earl.

But that's just my opinion of course.

Oof. The Simpsons have been grasping at straws for YEARS. I just don't find them funny anymore... The writing is lacking now, which makes me sad especially since they used to be the best show on television.

However, in regards to comedic TV, it's shows like The Office and 30 Rock that do it for me now (and I REALLY wish Arrested Development hadn't gotten cancelled).

I'm not saying it's still great or even good. I'm just saying the rest of TV now sucks just as bad and in most cases worse. But I don't watch much TV outside of about 5 or 6 shows.

I hear ya! Arrested Development is the funniest show I've ever seen. Derek and I watched a whole seaon in one sitting to catch all the seal refrences. Great show. way better than the Simpsons (which I've never found funny)

and The Simpsons got crappy a long time ago.

Yeh, all these new episodes are using manatee jokes in the fashion of family guy, except they don't cutaway and are much less funny. They're just bits of a scene where somebody says or does something which has nothing to do with the story, but is still in that scene. Family guy do it well, Simpsons don't.

Family guy > Scrubs > South Park > Futurama > The rest (With the simpsons in there somewhere.

family guy blows snot through a rolled up turd covered in vomit.

[ferretchucker]

I'll take that as a compliment to family guy

[urgeok2]

seriously i hate it.

simpsons threw away better jokes than family guy used.


family guy pretty much yells at the TV screen

"LOOK AT HOW KOOKY AND FAR OUT WE ARE !! WE"RE MAKING KOOKY REFERENCES HERE !! WOO HOO LOOK AT ME !!"

its like they poured king of the hill, the simpsons, and south park into a blender, skimmed off the rudest jokes and threw all the developement, cleverness, and nuance away.
