The Simpsons

Dear Grim Reaper,

The Simpsons are on FOX in case you somehow forgot to put them on your list of things to do.


Remember a day when the Simpsons was funny. Last night I found myself watching TV flicking through the channels, and I stumbled across a new Simpsons episode. I thought to myself, my god I haven't watched a Simpsons episode in so long! So I put down the remote, grabbed a cup of hot toddy, and relaxed into my chair. Quickly thereafter I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.

My friends, the Simpsons need to be put down, like Old Yeller. Actually not really like Old Yeller cause Old Yeller was crazy and frothing at the mouth (and in a way that's more of a metaphor for how it used to be), no more like a very sick old kitty cat or something. So sick that's it's really just mean to keep it suffering that way.

The snappy jokes and witty satire seem to be gone and we're just left with a laugh maybe every 10 minutes and it's a cheap laugh, more like a chuckle. Remember when you'd turn on an episode and you'd laugh almost the entire way through, outloud, instead of those little internal shoulder shrug chuckles??



Don't you love how the internet makes you feel like you should be voicing your opinion on inane pointless subjects that no-one could give a crap about?! Ah, bless the internet.
