Title: The Simpsons
Post by: Dugout DickStone on August 15, 2010, 07:34:24 PM
Not funny anymore?  Maybe Lenny and Karl.  Or Moe.

But the family isn't funny...

The Simpsons used to be freaking hilarious but not anymore.  I keep hoping that maybe this group of writers just sucks and it will start being funny again one of these days.  Sadly, I don't even bother watching it anymore.  Sad, really.

Family Guy is not all simpleton humor.  It is a perfect mix of overt simpleton humor and nice, subtle cleverness.  Yeah, I said that.

The Simpsons hasn't been good since about season 13.  Thankfully that is the next DVD set to come out. I have all of them. ;)

King of the Hill is and has always been garbage.  Same with Futurama.  GTFOOMF with those bogus cartoons that were never fit to be aired or mentioned with The Simpsons and Family Guy.

I like watching KOTH at the 1:00 to 2:00 timeslot on Adult Swim when I go to bed.  It doesn't compare with Simpsons, Family Guy etc., but it's easy watching.

I think South Park sucks FWIW.
Title: Re: The Simpsons
Post by: jtksu on August 15, 2010, 09:13:24 PM
KOTH is generally amusing but seldom LOL funny.  Same with Futurama, though the new episodes seem to be funnier than the old episodes.  SP and Family Guy continue to crack my crap up pretty regularly.

Post by: Stevesie60 on August 15, 2010, 09:36:28 PM
After the SP episode that made fun of FG for being so random, I can't watch FG anymore. I just picture whales moving underwater balls over to be made into jokes.
Title: Re: The Simpsons
Post by: SkinnyBenny on August 15, 2010, 09:56:33 PM
That's the episode that turned me off to South Park.  No one makes fun of Family Guy.  No one.  Plus, that episode kinda stunk of jealousy to me.  Who cares if Family Guy's jokes are random?  That's what they do.  And you know what?  crap's still hilarious.

I like South Park - just like Simpsons more.  However, i'd watch South Park over the later episodes of the Simpsons - particularly Seasons 16 and up.

I think we can all agree that the Simpsons now sucks.  However, it is foolish to argue that it wasn't a brilliant show once upon a time.  I had amazing writing and it built an entire genre of comedy, but much of that was before many of the posters "time." 

Simpson was at it's peak in the early 90's.

Could be said about South Park, too.  Stale.

Family Guy keeps it fresh, mostly, although it has its moments.

Futurama is really one of the smartest funny cartoons out there... The more I have watched it the better it gets. There is a lot of recurring jokes and items throughout the series too that you don't notice unless you watch them all... and I don't care what anyone else thinks, so there... I defeated you who think differently by not caring. Mua ha ha ha ha...

South Park was funny for three seasons, Family Guy for one.  The South Park movie was great, but they packed it in after that and haven't tried since.

I don't mind when they say it though. It's like a super fast way to let someone know "Hey, don't waste time talking to me."

I will not defend the Simpsons movie though. WTF was that? Very, very sad.

I like Futurama prolly more than SP or FG.  I actually think American Dad has a lot going for it and Roger is one of the better characters on any of them outside of Towelie (maybe)

ad is rough ridin' brilliant.  it doesn't have the shock value humor that fg has so it just takes a couple episodes to get into it, imo.

From what I've heard, yes they'll be sticking with the original format of switching between the story line and bashing music videos... I'm really excited for that part, so if they get rid of it then the show will be a waste of time.

It just knows itself really well and delivers, especially those seasons.
