Anyone still watch the Simpsons? It has been around about as long as I have been alive, pretty crazy. It went downhill for a while but lately episodes have been pretty good. Am I still the only one on the Simpsons bandwagon?

I watched the one a couple weeks ago after not watching a episode in a few years, where Marge almost cheated on Homer and i was like "What? This is what the shows become? Fuck this."

The worst thing about The Simpsons is that it has now been bad for longer than it was good. Which is sad.
If they had stopped The Simpsons when Futurama started then we could (possibly) have had two shows running for ten great years each instead of a decade of shit Simpsons and intermittent Futurami (is that the plural of Futurama?).Z(u, w) = Z0(w)[1-exp{-b(w)u}]
...and she said "Well I don't think you're a fishmonger. I think you've done a plop in the wrong lavatory."Comment

Futurama was a very underrated show, I found it consistently funny but not many other people I know did....

I got really tried of how they started to work their shows, so I stopped watching. Basically they had the same forumla for the show.
1) Weird event A happens at the start of show
2) Homer reacts to weird event A
3) Show turns into his reaction
He doesn't go to work anymore, the kids don't go to school. The episode that always stood out for me to define this was the tennis one, where they get a court in their backyard. Show starts with someone dying, they got to the funeral and Homer wants his own grave thing, so he gets the backyard cemented. He then turns it into a tennis court and it goes from there. They don't really have storylines anymore, they just have reactions to things.All you need to know when thinking of the NHL vs Madden series is the two people involved in making the games.
"rammer" and "cummings"
The NHL series is a giver, Madden takes the load.Comment

Doesn't every show seem to have a formula now though? Watch an episode of House and tell me they don't.
1) Some random person is doing ok and then suddenly he can't breathe(or something like that)
2) House and the other doctors are trying to figure out whats wrong while House shoots down ideas and talks about his own problem with Wilson/Cuddy/random doctor
3) It looks like the patient is doing better until something goes wrong and they almost die
4) The patient needs some crazy surgery until House remembers something random from earlier in the episode and it turns out the patient just has to take pills and they'll be fine.
That's House outside of the rare episode when someone dies or House is in rehab or something like that. Anyway I'm just saying you can't fault a show for having a formula because in a way they all do.Comment
