The Simpsons

The Simpsons simply isn't funny anymore. It relies too heavily on guest stars. I can't really explain it, but it seems like they're trying too hard to be funny.

The Lady Gaga episode was one of the worst episodes they've every produced. Sad really, as I'm a massive Simpsons fan!

And the realy sad thing is, the episode with Lady GaGa had potential to be a realy good episode. Unfortinatly the story was rubish and the script was poor. Quite a dissapointment!

It's been like that for ages though, but more and more episodes are written around the celebrity.

I stopped enjoying it when the episodes got far too stupid. The silly episodes were reserved for the Treehouse of Horror editions, where it was acceptable to do all of the things that wouldn't make sense in the regular episodes.

I think somewhere along the line that was forgotten. I used to laugh at the clever things the characters said and not the slapstick humour it relies on now.

Futurama on the other hand can do what it likes, and seems to work. Plus it hasn't been on as long (given it's large 'gap') to become totally stale. I am sure it would given enough time.

The Simpsons was at its best the first 10 seasons, but I still prefer it to family guy

My favorite Simpsons is between season 10 and 19. However the earlyer ones are the best.

Something else I like is King of the Hill, it isn't hystericaly funny but its deffinatly entertaining.

Shame it was cancelled.

Got cancelled to make way for The Cleveland Show I beleive.

King of the Hill was pretty decent, not as good as The Simpsons, but not that far off.

I think K.O.T.H is better than the Cleveland Show

I actually quite like the Cleveland Show. As for King of the Hill, I think I've seen funnier funerals than that!

The Cleveland is like family guy, with different people and jokes, that's what I think
