The Simpsons,Do'h

The Simpsons are celebrating 20 years on television and over 420 episodes. 200 of which are good and 3 that are o.k. Why have the Simpsons fallen so far. They used to be a funny show were the jokes were simple, yet smart. Now they try to cram as many pop-culture references into a single joke as they do guest voices in a single episode. They can never go back to the good old days (too bad Conan doesn't want to write for them now that he is going to be off NBC) when they weren't trying to be like family guy. I don't know who the audience for the show is supposed to be anymore? It's not edgy like it used to be. The new characters that they debut suck and why the hell are there music montages in these new episodes? Two that stand out as D-chill worthy are: One when Bart gets a drum set and he plays a white stripes song and the other is from the "Departed" spoof, where Bart does something homosexual to the tune of a Dropkick Murphy's song. I used to love the show, now I don't even bother with it. I wait until Family Guy. which is still funny, but pushing it. It's time to go Homer, Bart, Krusty. If you leave now your legacy won't be too tarnished.
