So do any of you think the Simpsons has improved? I think it has become less funny than it was, I swear it was from episode 300 when this happend (or even below that, not too sure myself)

I just feel there was such a simplicity to their jokes yet very intelligent at the same time during the 90s. There's something about the newer episodes that doesn't have that magic, I can't describe it. But I think the episodes were piss poor during the period the Simpson movie was in production, apparently they were saving up the best jokes for that film. I think a long time after the film's release, the simpsons just became a little bit better, IMHO.

I haven't been watching The Simpsons for quite a while. But I remember the newer episodes being mediocre. So yes, it's not as funny as it was. I still find it amusing that the beginning of an episode has no relation to the main storyline and how they connect is just funny in a weird way. And I found this extremely funny.

I loved the old episodes. The newer ones can't catch my attention though.

No. I like the old episodes much more.

My question is was the simpsons EVER funny?

I don't know but I pretty much still like it :T

Ya it's still funny... It's probably one of the top four shows i still watch: South Park, American Dad, Family Guy, and Simpsons... I dunno but to me, Family Guy and some eps. of South Park seems to be getting boring =/

The plots per episode after a certain point began to cease making sense, but it retained humor, which is the selling point.

The Simpsons just isn't funny any more, one reason why is that the characters have changed so much, such as Homer who in the older episodes said/done stupid things but they were kind of understandable. Now he's so retarded it's not funny. And Lisa's so whiny and annoying I can't stand to watch her episodes anymore.

It's not so funny as it was before but it's still funny, but of course I miss the old episodes :<

Not anymore old 1s still are

No.

No man sorry but this series has been dead since i was kid in the late 90's

For me after season 15 it stopped being funny. Family Guy too it's also crap now.

South park is the only show that stays dangerous and crosses the line and they've stuck to their course through and through.
Which is why it's always funny.
Matt and Trey have balls.
