"The Simpsons"

I Am starting this thread to see if there is anyone who does NOT like the Simpsons i personally think it is the greatest T.V. programme ever but i was just curious

Futurama > The Simpsons > Family Guy

I've changed my mind I love all three. Oh yeah and South Park.

They're all too predictable now, like most cartoons.

The Simpsons was good from about series 2-10. Before was retro drawing which wasn't great but now the humour's too random and ir's stretched too far, it's paper thin now.

I have 'poor mans tv' and so have never really had the chance to watch Family Guy, nor do I have the money to dish out on expensive box-sets to test if it's good

Futurama is good and I especially like the jokes relating to the present, e.g We complain about mail taking days, they express it in seconds.

The Simpsons was a classic show when it was the exploits of an ordinary believable family. Futurama is funny but not laugh-out-loud-edly so.

Family Guy lacks Groening's genius and a terrestrial licence :(

I still find the newer Simpsons episodes funny, they may be a different style of comedy to the early episodes but not worse in my opinion. Futurama is just brilliant, always funny. I don't really see the fuss about Family Guy, people say it's brilliant but from the few episodes I've seen it's nothing special.

*awaits abuse*

I don't like the new episodes much when I first see them, but I'm starting to find they grow on me with repeat viewing.

There's still some funny stuff, it's just they're running out of ideas (which has to happen when it's been going for so long).

It will feel very strange when they actually stop making them, although they have dropped in quality, I still enjoy watching them. I bet they will still be shown 30 years down the line.

We've still got the movie to come. Although I'm not sure if that's still after the series finishes or not.

Hopefully the movie will be like the older series.

The new ones are funny in places, but they just seem too unbelievable and stupid.

One I recently watched through torrent had Bart suddenly becoming a rapper. Since when could Bart rap?

Since 'Do The Bartman'.
