Who even watchs it anymore?!

It's actually the most watched animated show in the world, and one of the top 10 most watched shows in the world, so... lots of people.

Whoa, Whoa! Hold on guys, I'm getting SICK of people saying Simpsons suck, or that it deserves to be cancelled. While it's true it's not as funny as it once was, and the episodes tend to be hit or miss it's still a GOOD show. unlike others that try to emulate it, The Simpsons actually tried a lot of new things. Like I Said, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but at least they try. It's better than Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show put together. Easily. South Park is almost as good as it, and Robot Chicken is enjoyable because at least it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Not to mention it's still funnier and more poignant than 99% of the sitcoms on television. I'd take my LEAST favorite Simpsons episodes over Two and a Half men any day.


...and that's your opinion, not a fact, and I heavily disagree with it.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

hmm, lemme see here, an absurd show made up of 40% stupid cutaway scenes, 20% extended gags that last too long, and only 40% content (Family Guy), a spinoff series nobody wanted (Cleveland), and a show about supposed life lessons which are really shallow and that any 'liberal' could write (American Dad), vs a show that actually has the guts to tackle real world issues, have real heart, and actually have a plot, in spite of its occasional shortcomings. 

Of the three, american Dad is the only one I don't hate anymore.  I NEVER liked the Cleveland show (Watched like 5 epsiodes before giving up), Family Guy used to be funny but it's clear they ran out of materal years ago, so they rely on gags that drag on and on 10X as long as they should, not to mention they STILL fill like half their episodes with stupid cutaway gags.  American Dad started rocky but is pretty good now, I actually look forward to that one. 

Southpark, Futurama, and Robot chicken are all decidedly better than anything put out by Seth McFarlane.  Seth shoulda been put out of business years ago and let his shows be remembered fondly.  Instead he's overstayed his welcome. 

My rankings: 

Simpsons
South Park
Futurama

Robot Chicken


American Dad













Family Guy











The Cleveland Show

If it's true like Rol says that the voice actors make $8 million per year I think they should cut that to a fraction of that amount or just close the show. I used to like Simpsions in the 90s but it's definitely not worth it to pay millions to a voice actor. -how can they be so greedy.

Meh, the show really wnt off in the last 3 years...its all the ''political corectness''bullshit I say !! Its no fun when they cant (they can, they're just affraid to) insult any group of people at all anymore. The SImpsons would have away with so much more funnier stuff back in the 90's when American media still had some balls left to screw with any group of people other than Eastern Europeans and Christians

Yes, to demand $8 million for voice acting a dying cartoon.

I know it's gotten worse but Simspons always was politically correct and never was bold. It's left wing satire written by liberals.

It's quite well made though and I used to enjoy it despite the propaganda and the pure non-political comedy in it was solid.

'Dying'? It's by far the most popular cartoon in the world, and brings in hundreds of million $ in revenue. How is that qualified as 'dying'?

I take it you've never actually seen it before, no?
