What's your favorite quote from the Simpsons?

yeah, we talked to death about how the simpsons went downhill. most notibly were its key writers leaving, and their replacements were subpar. Conan O'Brien, one of my favorite past writers is busy with his own fabulous show. Soon he will have the true late night spot and it is well deserved.

They're only finally catching up with season thirteen and fourteen here, I think, but I feel myself starting to agree on this issue. Last night's episode where Skinner proposed to Krabapple just felt out of character. I never realized there was a change in the writing staff (though it would make sense in fifteen years' time...)

Thats the point i was trying to make too... Yeah, Bart is doing stuff out of character, as well as so many other cast members. Not all the time, but as soon as they do, I feel assaulted, and lose particular interest in the current show. It may take me minutes to get back into it.

Homer singing:
Cleaning my gun with the safety off,
safety off,
safety off,
Cleaning my gun with the safety- <BANG!>

Also:
Stealing, stealing, stealing a car for Moe,
Doo-doo d-doo d-doo doo,
Insurance fraud today!

They don't really work without the tunes...

Troy McClure: "Don't kid yourself, Billy. If he thought he could get away with it, a cow would kill you and everyone you care about."

A close second would be just about anything Grounds Keeper Willie has ever said.

"Lunch Lady Doris, do you have any grease? ... Then grease me up, woman!"

The helloween episode for the 2nd or 3rd season:

TV! Teacher. Mother. Secret lover...

you are absolutely right about the plots not making sense, but I believe that I can pin that down easily. The whole bottom just fell out of the series after permanent changes were made, namely Maud Flanders' death, it developed into the charachters being typecast as their common traits i.e. Lisa's intellect (she doesn't come across as a child anymore) Marge's housewife activities etc.

The real problem with the simpsons these days is unneccesary changes that are irreversible.
