The Simpsons is truly one of the finest shows ever on television. Some would say this is a dubious achievement, but few would argue the point. The sad thing is, the last two seasons or so have, not to put too fine a point on it, sucked. I think the “Jump the Shark” moment was the stupid and unfunny death of Maude Flanders. These days, a Simpsons episode seems to resemble nothing so much as a psychotically random jumble of situations and marginally funny lines. If there was any doubt, this look at the upcoming season should turn the stomach of any true fan. Parodies of “Erin Brockovich” and “Harry Potter”? How the mighty have fallen.
Hens love roosters
Geese love ganders
Everyone else
loves Ned Flanders!
Wow! I finally found someone else who isn’t blissfully unaware that The Simpsons are descending into . . . well stupidity, but not the good kind.
