The simpsons is NOT going down the pooper, Simpsons Movie? anyone?
The Simpsons have gone downhill. The writing team has run out of ideas and pretty much recycle anything they've already written only they replace which character it's about then run their gags to the ground. The guest star of the week gimmick became old fast when they do absolutely nothing to further the story. They've taken the traits of old characters and exagerated them. For example, in seasons 1-7, Ned Flanders was a religous family man who happened to have a lot of good luck because he was considered a good person. Ever since Maude was kiled off, Flanders has become an religous nut who considers all other religions blasphemy and finds practically everything to be satanic. Homer was a working family man who tried his best to raise his family but would ultimately screw up in the end, though most forgave him. Now his just a easily angered idiot who tries get- rich-quick schemes every week but is foiled in the end. Bart is now a stripped down version of the South Park kids all in one. Plus, Lisa is starting to get most of the focus in all the episodes, essentially making her the star and the "Arnold" of the show.
The movie is the needle that'll finally put this old dog to rest. Hopefully with the old staff returning it won't be a complete embarassment to the golden years of the show.
