When did the Simpsons start to suck?

Answer :

Personally I prefer seasons 3–13 and most episodes of 14 and a few of 15. Post-15 was crap. As soon as they brought in that freakin’ shadowing effect and started focusing more on current issues to try to be a combination of Family Guy and South Park it sucked. I’m not just saying that; I’ve seen plenty of 16–18 episodes and watched a few segments of Season 20 episodes and I was not laughing at all. It has a completely different feel and doesn’t feel like the Simpsons I’m used to anymore. It’s all Facebook and cell phones and iPods are other teen stuff. It seems too much like it’s trying to “reach out” to the kid population. It just needs to die already. Die hard Simpsons fans will probably say seasons 4–6 are the best and everything else sucks, but I’m a tad more generous than that. Most will say 3–9 are the best, but compared to 16–21, 10–13 are excellent. I have Seasons 1–11 on DVD. Seasons 1–2 are just a little too old for me and aren’t as funny. This shows the “shadowing” effect, the new theme song, and mentions HDTV: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/921/simpsonsez1.jpg Pretty much sums up everything I hate about the new episodes. :)
