Yeah, I certainly agree with Shearer's assessment of the show but it's a dick move to say that kind of thing publicly when you've worked with these people for many years and despite the decline, you still keep signing on every few years. Clearly, he still managed to keep cashing the checks he...

Yeah, I don't blame him for wanting to stop doing this or any show. He's got more money than he'll ever be able to spend and if he's not enjoying himself, why bother? I just read that Al Jean said that they're recasting his characters. Considering that they probably can get literally the best...

15 or 20 years ago, I'd have been damn near suicidal over that news but the show has basically slid down hill enough that I don't even care. The worst part of it is that Fox just cut the show's budget by millions since they don't have to pay Shearer anymore so they'll keep it on even longer now...

There's been multiple times where I was going to watch a minute of an episode and I ended up watching the whole thing but I'm sure I will be tuning in much less when the first decade ends. That being said, anything after S16 or so, I've probably only seen once so it would almost be like a new...

I'm just glad that I'm that I'm not the only person that the hates the cropping. While I realize that few people in the real world care, I figured that even on a message board like this there'd be a few people saying how much better the show looks in widescreen or it was always meant to be seen...

^ I imagine that most comedy writers hope and pray for that kind of an effect on an audience.

Just thinking about "There's a lemon behind that rock!" makes me laugh. There's probably 25 episodes of The Simpsons that I could entertain as being the best but if I had to pick one, I'd say Bart The Daredevil. Homer falling down and especially getting airlifted out of Springfield Gorge is...

I'm not sitting there with a stopwatch but when I was watching a couple episodes yesterday, I was taken aback by how quickly the commercial breaks were since the early seasons run 2 or 3 minutes longer than TV shows today. As for the modern day episodes, I know I'll watch until either I or the...

If I could physically stay away awake long enough, I would love to watch like the first decade or so. It's too bad that they've cropped about 20 seasons worth of episodes to 1.78. Since Matt Groening has specifically said how The Simpsons is a 4:3 show (the first 19 production seasons anyway)...
