I am an average simpsons fan. I mean, i like to watch the show, and also have a few simpsons video games. But i'm not a die hard fan, and don't sleep in simpsons p.j.'s or anything.

IMO the use of Homer stupidity is becoming less and less funny each day.

We have indeed. I think the general consensus was as you say that these days it's rather crap, but the older episodes were good.

I'm caucascas.... I'm cocaso.....   I'm white.

But that still doen't answer my question.  Why are they yellow? And some of them have strange heads???

[Pumaman]

Because they are all heavy smokers, puffing at least 70 a day, and that has given them a nice yellow complexion.

Or alternatively, to quote the man himself, "Yellow wasn't my choice. You initially work in black and white, and one of the animators suggested that we colour them yellow, and it looked right. Then again, she also made the trees purple, which we didn't go for. It means the Simpsons look like no other cartoon characters, though. I don't like that skin colour they use in cartoons. I loved Mickey Mouse when he had a white face, not the strange pink Caucasian colour he is now."

I've done a lot of soul-searching and decided that yes, The Simpsons is going through a slow painful death. Some of the recent episodes from the U.S. (Series 15) have just been horrible. The Evita spoof was one of the worst episodes ever (at the risk of sounding like Comic Book Guy), it wasn't even a decent idea to build from. The visit to London episode was also quite poor too, suffering from the usual over-indulgence in guest stars.

That's become a real problem for The Simpsons, and it's not like it'd be hard for the writers to get around it. There was an episode about tennis which had FOUR international tennis players in a scene that didn't get a laugh out of me once. Some of the guest appearance feel so pointless and unamusing that they seem to just be slotted in as convenient too.

There are some great shows like the latest Treehouse Of Horror, but then that's the writers being allowed to think outside the usual confines of the show far more. They can go overboard with craziness and supernatural elements and it makes it fresher. There's a recent one where Homer befriends a bear that was a return to form after the Evita episode, but whilst really good, it still doesn't compare with any episode from a mid-period series. Those were consistently very, very good.

I think it's a real shame when Futurama gets cancelled after four awesome series, and The Simpsons continues without being particularly great anymore.

It's funny that in the London epsisode they recycled the American currency joke from the Canada episode, but this time did it when the Pound is at a 13 year high against the US dollar, and the greenback is down against every industrialised currency. I guess they don't even care about relevancy anymore either.

What I cant stand about the simpsons, is that the first fifteen minutes of the episode will lead to a completely different story than the last half. The older episodes did not do this so much. Mind you, I've never beem a huge fan, I haven't watched the show regularly for about seven years.

Indeed... Since Futurama was cancelled I see Homer as the flubby bastard who killed nibbler... I hope that he fat he eats make him die soon.
