Why did The Simpsons decline after 2004?

The new one's are so bad.

They should stop before they ruin the greatest programme ever made :(

It got bad long beofre season 15 for me, I just assumed it was an age thing

I never watch them when they are first shown ,so don't know which series is which , but i've seen about 100 i suppose , and when i do see the year in the credits ( or guess it from references to stuff in the show ) it ususally seems the better ones were mid 90s.

Think I've stopped before 2004. Once the most inventive, but worn out to the max. Far from funny, same ole stereotypes etc. At the latest, if a series makes it to the cinema - you know it's over.

general decline after mid 90s, but still watchable and the odd good one IMO. I've watched a few from the latest series and they've been v good IMO.

"Put blood in it?"

Family Guy nicked all the good ideas.

yeah the Film was a terrible idea , very poor

Family guy rip off the Simpsons so much its criminal.

The South park destruction of family guy was rather good.

Indeed it was spark :)

family guy has to rip off the simpsons cos the simpsons have done everything already.

Wise choice to start a new series doing everything again then!

Smell ya later

should do a spin off of homer as a teenager imo.

HA HA!

Some of the earlier episodes are classic TV.

You can watch them time and time again ans still laugh.

Good idea would be a winner - the only interesting one left in the family

Oh dear, that's the next sign of decline after a film: make them younger. Didn't you ever watch Flintstones Kids or what the name was? Utter dross.

I found out the other day that the guy who voiced Lionel Hutz died a few years ago :(

Its because the new episodes dont have a single plot like the old ones, its just a load of randon situations that dont make any sense. The movie was genuis though - should have just stopped there.

didnt he get shot by the wife or ex wife?

They get better when watched a 2nd or 3rd time, for me. I think the recent ones are OK, it must be really difficult coming up with new ideas for storylines, I've often tried to think of something that could be used for a Simpsons episode which hasn't been done already! and I can't (sad I know).

The worst Simpsons were the 1st series imo.

Favourite episodes then lads.....

For me it has to include all the main characters..... All the Simpson family, Burns, Barney etc etc.

I love the comet one where they all hideout in Flanders shed..... Singing que sara when the comet misses :^0

That one would be up there I think.

The modern ones are just excuses to get celebrities involved.

lisa the vegetarian and the stonecutters are two of my favs

i liked rodney dangerfield as monty burns' son, and at the end everyone partied on the street to the tune of anyway you want it by journey. classic imo.

when homer gets done for drink driving

DOH!!!!!!!

the worst simpsons are usually still better than ost ** on the tv imo

never seen it.

Don't see me bothering now.

the new ones are bad.

when they started to get celebrities to go on them. i think was the start of its downfall

fav episodes

siseshow bob when they go on the witness programme
homer changes his name to max power is a classic

max power one is indeed great.

Agree,when they start getting people like gervais on it's gone,end of.

Simpsons in jApan one of my faves,but time to put show to bed.

Cat Burglar one of my favs - so many I can't think of them off the top of my head!

I dont watch anymore :(
