I couldnt agree more. Ive seen all the new episodes this season, some have been decent, some not so decent, but I think the Super Bowl one was probably the best so far, had some really funny gags and seemed to flow really well. That part where Mario showed up in the italian bus was halarious. With homer throwing the barrels at him...what a funny and excellent knock on Donkey Kong.

Anywho, I'll be the first to admit the Simpsons isnt as good as it once was back in its heyday. That being said, Id still rather watch it than almost any other cartoon on television, because its still BETTER than almost any other cartoon on television. You dont take a show off the air just because its not quite as good as it once was.

Family Guy is superior to the new Simpsons. And so is South Park.

Arrested Developement is so much funnier then the new Simpsons. I don't know how you people can stand the new episodes......especially if you have been fans of the Simpsons from way back. I've been watching the show for like 10+ years.

I'll agree with almost everything you said... Family Guy is better, Arrested Development is better, and South Park is much better than the new Simpsons...Let's say there a good deal of shows better than these recent episodes. Most new Simpsons episodes aren't very good, and it's sad to see that kind of decline, but I was just saying that last night's episode was one of the better new one's I've seen in a while.

Though I also watched it at 3:30 in the AM and I was trying to have something to cheer me up after the Philadelphia Eagles broke my heart again, so maybe my point of view was a bit skewed.

South Park is phenominal. I used to love it when I was a kid.. then didn't really watch too much of it until I came to University.. Now I watch it every night.

Agreed entirely. I don't watch much Simpsons anymore, but I did see the episode following the superbowl. I believe that that is the first episode of the Simpsons in which I did not crack a laugh at all through its entirety. This includes viewings of episodes I have seen several times before.

And American Dad was just lame. It seemed like it was created to be a second try at Family Guy. The original was much better and I'm glad that it's back. Hopefully this means that American Dad's days are numbered.

I thought the Donkey Kong reference was contrived.....which made it not funny. To be honest, I turned it off and went to *bed* for *sleep* after about 15 painful minutes of it.

The Simpsons continue to reuse plot ideas by the way.

Apparently the show is supposed to run for a few more years. By then, hopefully FOX goes bankrupt.
