Actually, no, I don't agree.  The Simpsons had some great years, and some not so great years.  A rollercoaster of quality if you will.  However, I'd elect to watch the Simpsons over 95% of the horseshit people call TV nowadays.  Then again, watching TV, like playing a video game, is something you choose to do.  Fox will cancel the Simpson's, when it's no longer drawing big ratings.  Not only do I watch the Simpsons every week, I also watch reruns on FX constantly.


I am just about the biggest Simpsons nut on the planet and if you asked me around 2002 if they were in delcine, I'd have said hell no and been in total denial but looking back now? The show began it's dip in the 11th season. Seasons 1-10 were gold and will probably never come close to being challenged as far as animation is concerned. But, I really think they should have called it quits after season 10. 

 

Much like the show Seinfeld which went off the air on top, The Simpsons could have and probably should have done the same after year 10. It's still good from time to time, but it's a shadow of what it was in the 90's.
