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.

While that all may be true, it's still pretty popular, and it's not required watching. If people don't like the new episodes, there's reruns available everywhere, and...they can always change the channel. I still enjoy them, myself.

Some of them are good, some are bad. The things I really dislike about the newer shows is the fact that alot of the characters personalities have changed and they behave, say things differently than they would have in the 90's. There is also this push for modern things like cell phones and tablets etc. which don't seem to fit in imo. Plus, the voices are ALL different with the exception of Homer. Moe, Marge, Lenny even Bart sound weird now.
Over all, I just don't see why they continue on. As an artist myself, I don't think I'd be able to do it. Even if there were enough people to warrant keeping the show on the air, I'd know it wasn't up to the standards set back in the glorly years and probably shut it down.
I guess for people like you, it's a good thing I'm not in charge lol
